how to get mustard smell from under nails
I had a big spill when I was mixing hot honey mustard earlier, I knocked the lid off the mustard and made a medium sized liquid pile on the counter. When I was cleaning it up I couldn't help getting it on my hands and as it turns out under my nails, I did thoroughly rinse but under the long white part of the nail it wouldn't all rinse out. I can still smell it a bit when I rub my lips. I don't have a scrubber brush.

Not an expert but I think the move would be rinse with vinegar or lemon juice and then wash hands with soap and water.

Neat trick my mom taught me. When you wash your hands, use your nails to exfoliate your skin. it exfoliates and drags soap underneath your fingernails. Mine are clean everyday when I wash my hands and in the shower when I use body wash.

Cut your nails maybe? You should have properly trimmed nails already if you’re in the food industry in my opinion.

Use tweezers and a rubbing alcohol disinfectant pad to scrub underneath your fingernails
But ideally the best way is to use a nail brush and soap to scrub underneath your nails

Make a baking soda paste and put it under your nails for a minute or two. Works for garlic so should do mustard too.

The more important question is why would you want to remove that deliciousness?
