This stainless steel bar can remove that garlic, onion or fish odor from your hands easily. All you have to do is rub the bar between your hands as you would a bar of soap and the smell will disappear.

You can use it with or without water. We know what you're thinking: This is too good to be true and there's no way it's that simple.

But it is! The brand, Amco, even shared the science behind it. When you rub the bar on your hands, the molecules in steel bind with any sulfur molecules that have stuck to your fingers. Through this process, the molecules and thus, the smell are transferred to the metal and off your hands.

That's it! We haven't tried it yet, but over 1, customers on Amazon are loving their results. Which is where you can help. We need as many people as possible to perform a simple experiment to test whether stainless steel really is an effective odour remover. A knife. A blindfold. A plastic spoon and a stainless steel table spoon of about the same size.

Under running water, rub one palm with the back of the stainless steel spoon for about 10 seconds. Then rub the other palm with the plastic spoon, again under running water, for 10 seconds the plastic spoon is our control experiment.

Make sure you remember which hand was rubbed with which spoon. Find a willing volunteer. Ask them to close their eyes or put a blindfold on — with their eyes closed, they are less likely to notice any signals from you about which hand has had what treatment. Hold a hand under their chin that way each hand will be the same distance from the test subjects nose and ask them to smell it.

Then do the same with the other hand.
