I always find that a freshly cut lemon is the best deoderant for
hands... cut it in half and rub it over your hands (I hope you don't
have any cuts or it's going to be ouchy!) Then wash them with soap and
you'll find they smell like lemon oil instead...

I won't use fresh garlic because I don't want to stink up the house -
if you buy it prechopped in a jar it works just fine with no odour.
