Kili, try using the stainless steel bowl again, but this time do it under
warm running water. I have a stainless steel bar (shaped like a bar of
soap) specifically for removing odors from hands, and the instructions say
to use it under warm running water; it won't work otherwise.

Here's a link to a product similar to the one I have:
http://thevermontshopper.com/catalog...products_id=49 (I've
never ordered from this company, so I can't vouch for the product or their
service; I'm just using their site for an example of this stainless steel
bar.)

Hope this helps!
