First of all, I didn’t kill anyone. And this was not part of cleaning up any blood.
Now.. Sometimes when I mop I forget to use gloves and after wringing out the mop (I have to use the old school mops sometimes because I have no clue where my grandmother keeps the new one) my hands smell like bleach. I wash them with soap, but the smell is still there. Does anybody know how to get the smell of bleach off my hands? Besides waiting for it to fade.

Wash them with a mix of water and vinegar.
Cut a lemon in half and squeeze it on your hands.
thats what i always used to do at work at the end of the night, it got most of the food smells/bleach smells off of them.
@uberbatman‘s lemon also works to get rid of garlicsmells (on your hands).
Does baking soda help too?

@simone54 Like so ?
And how come you answered me before i asked you my question?
Bleach is a base, so anything acidic (vinegar, lemon, orange juice) should do it. (I remembered my 9th grade science lesson all these years later Woo hoo!!!)I have never been a science geek at all. I messed up all my experiments.
I like the smell of bleach. It smells clean and fresh to me. Like clean laundry.
They should have a cologne like that. One that doesn’t wreck your clothes, of course.
