How can you quickly get rid of the smell of oranges on your hands after peeling an orange to eat it?

I cannot seem to wash the smell off after I've peeled an orange. My hands stink of citrus for hours, despite washing my hands 5 times with soap.

How can you quickly get rid of the smell of oranges on your hands after peeling an orange to eat it?
I love the way oranges smell!
Reply:hand santizer or soak ur hands in soybean or milk but that a waste of milk isn't it lol
Reply:Wash hands with handwash or handwash spray.
Reply:If you'd like your hands to smell wonderful, try this.





Add 1 cup warm water to a bowl, half a teaspoon of brown sugar and a teaspoon of lemon juice. Rub your hands with the mixture after stirring thoroughly, and then rinse with warm water.





OR, you can simply wash your hands with a scented soap, and it will cover the smell. The oils that come from the peel contain wax and oils that are absorbed in to the pores, but don't worry, it'll only stay a couple of hours, as your skin is not used to the foreign oils





Here's a tip for the girls, too.. If you want really shiny hair, rub the OUTSIDE of the orange peel down your hair in a straight line, starting from the scalp. The oils will nourish and replenish some of the damage done to hair folicles.. And the smell washes away. Normally the smell isn't even strong enough to notice, though.
Reply:I like the smell of oranges. At least your hands don't smell like fish or garlic!
Reply:Actually, I think I'd rather smell like an orange than like garlic (or chili peppers). Dove (the soap company) manufactures various liquid hand soaps, one of which is a "deodorizing" kind. I tried it earlier this year, and now I can't live without it.





It works really well; you just wash your hands normally--one time--and whatever you've been handling, the smell is gone. If your kitchen sink has a garbage disposal, it'll deodorize that, too.
Reply:try putting baking soda in with the soap and leave it on as long as possible....the soda should take out the smell!!!





then try putting on a strong, good smelling lotion!!!!
Reply:wash your hands with purell
Reply:Try rubbing your hands on something stainless steel - works for me with garlic and I would think will do the trick for just about any strong smell. I use my kitchen faucet after I peel garlic and it does the trick.
Reply:Give up the smell will stay with you forever. Learn to love it atleast its not poop.
Reply:would you prefer onion, bleach or pine cheaner?


What fraction of the mixture in the large container is orange juice?

Two 600ml pitchers contain orange juice. One pitcher is 1/3 full and the other pitcher is 2/5 full. Water is added to fill each pitcher completely, then both pitchers are poured into one large container. What fraction of the mixture in the large container is orange juice?

What fraction of the mixture in the large container is orange juice?
85/300
Reply:1/3 of 600+ 2/5 of 600


400ml+360ml=760 the amount of water added.


1200-760=440


440/1200=36 2/3%


same as 11/30
Reply:1/3 + 2/5 = 5/15 + 6/15 = 11/15
Reply:Pitcher #1 is 600 x 1/3 = 200 ml of OJ


Pitcher #2 is 600 x 2/5 = 240 ml of OJ


Total OJ is 440 ml.


The large container will have 1200 ml of liquid.


The fraction of OJ is 440 / 1200 = 11/30
Reply:Isn't it 1/3 + 2/5 = 11/15 because you combine both pitchers together to fill into one large container?
Reply:First pitcher has 600/3=200mL= .2L of OJ, second has2x600/5=.4x600mL= .24L of OJ. Both together = .44L of OJ. Large container has 1.2L of liquid, .44L OJ so the fraction is .44/1.2 or 44/120=11/30=.367 or 36.7%

What is the name for dark red/orange sunflowers with purple leaves?

What large dark orange red sunflowers with purple leaves called?


I've seen them sold at grocery store before, but I can't find anything online about them.

What is the name for dark red/orange sunflowers with purple leaves?
Tithonia is a bright orange sunflower (Mexican Sunflower), but so far as I know it doesn't have a cultivar with purple leaves.





Here's a place with some sunflower cultivars listed. Perhaps one of them is what you're looking for?

Here's the Burpee catalog listing of some of their sunflowers as well (it's about 3 pages)

What kinds of breeds are there for orange cats?

Were thinking of buying another cat and I want to find out what kind of orange breed cats are there. If you know a couple let me know!

What kinds of breeds are there for orange cats?
Many pedigreed breeds, long haired and short haired, plus non-pedigreed pets can be "orange". If you search for red cats (or cream if you prefer dilute colours) online you will find photos of many breeds. www.tica.org is a good site to learn more about pedigreed cats. Off the top of my head:





Devon Rex


Cornish Rex


Japanese Bobtail


Munchkin


Scottish Fold


Selkirk Rex


Sphynx


Turkish Van


Persian


Exotic Shorthair


American Shorthair


Maine Coon


Oriental

Do consider adopting a rescue, whether it be pedigreed or a beautiful household pet cat.





Have fun!

Reply:There are no breeds that are specifically prange, but most breeds have a allowed coloration where they allow for orange.
Reply:You should know that most orange cats are male (genetically) just as most tortoiseshell cats are female. Keep this in mind when adopting your new pal -- you'll want to consider whether your current friend will want the new friend to be a boy or a girl.
Reply:Every time you "buy" any animal, it means no home for one kitten born in some litter today, one stray you didn't adopt.


Go to a shelter and ask for an orange cat, or better still adopt any cat and then grow to appreciate that color... They are all beautiful.
Reply:Orange Tabby cats are adorable, and extremely affectionate.

Why are some egg yolks Bright orange while others are pale yellow?

The best and richest eggs have a nice orange color yolk...why are most of the eggs I buy (95%) usually the pale yellow%26gt;?

Why are some egg yolks Bright orange while others are pale yellow?
the freer the chicken so to speak (from caged to free range) the more orange they tend to be. Also there is a school of thought that the reason the more orange an egg is shows how little stress the chicken was under therefore providing a relaxed egg which is tastier.
Reply:Colour in egg yolks to a degree is influenced by what the hens are fed on. Hens fed a high maize diet will produce a more yellow coloured yolk.





It also varies per breed.





Free range yolks are most often orange as they are not fed so intense a diet as caged or barn raised layers.
Reply:They feed some chickens Marigold flowers to make them lay eggs that are more yellow. Same deal with chickens that have yellow skin.
Reply:That has everything to do with what the chickens are fed on
Reply:probaby diff eggs from diff chickens.
Reply:Free range chickens (meaning ones the can get out and scratch and peck away at what they want to eat) are the ones that have the orange yolks. The pale yolks are from the confined chickens that are kept in a building or very small fenced in area. These housed chickens are feed grains that we humans think that they should have.
Reply:That depends on what the chickens were fed.


My grandparents have a farm in Spain and they have chickens. The eggs are super yellow, like they are supposed to be, because they are fed good food. The pale yellow ones show that the chickens weren't fed good.
Reply:the way they were fed
Reply:Try getting some farm fresh eggs. They cost a little more but are so much better
Reply:it depends on how old de egg is, how the chick was fed n where it lived


Can I put almond powder in orange chiffon cake? Will it taste funny? I want to get rid of the raw eggs taste?

even though I put orange juice and peel, the smell is still there. I don't want to use vanilla essence.

Can I put almond powder in orange chiffon cake? Will it taste funny? I want to get rid of the raw eggs taste?
Why would there be a raw egg taste? It should be gone once the cake is baked.
Reply:I think Almond powder would be too potent. I would try a little Agave Nectar sweetner. It is healthier than sugar or honey and tastes very sweet.
