QuestionMy friend smells of garlic, how can I get rid of the odor?Community AnswerThe smell of garlic should naturally go away after a few days. The garlic may be lingering due to clothes that haven't been washed. Avoid the embarrassment of your friend and leave them to clean their clothes or brush their teeth by themselves. If you feel you really need to, then notify them about the garlic smell. If their breath smells, you can always offer them a piece of gum without making it obvious that their breath smells.

QuestionHow long does garlic smell last?Drew Hawkins1Community AnswerGarlic contains many strong-smelling compounds, including allyl methyl sulfide, which can take several hours to break down to the point where you're no longer able to smell it. It can even last for up to 2 days if you don't clean it off or remove it. If it's on your hands, try rubbing a stainless steel spoon or spraying your hands with fresh lemon juice to remove the scent. A nice glass of milk will help neutralize the smell if you have garlic on your breath.
