Removing Kitchen Odors From Hands With Stainless Steel?

Now that one caught my attention. Last night while puttering around on Facebook, I stumbled on a tip – rub your hands on any stainless steel item like a knife (yikes that sounds dangerous) or the faucet or stainless steel utensil. That sounded really strange to me but it got even weirder. People started commenting and said they use a “Stainless Steel Soap Bar”

Ok. This I have to check out. Turns out there are stainless steel soap bars for sale. They are just a chunk of stainless steel in the shape of a soap bar.

The women swore this works. So, well next time I need to rid my hands of food odors, I’ll give it a go. Not going to purchase that soap bar though.

However this is all kinda interesting to a geek like me. There’s got to be some scientific explanation right? Sadly there isn’t much of that around even online – surprise. There are theories though but nobody really knows.
