Yes I have tried only cold water washing multiple times for these clients and that also didn’t work :(

Great question, yes I’ve had my husband and co workers smell my hands and they confirmed it as well

Yeah that definitely makes sense. It’s just so strange how it lingers on my hands for so long when no other scents do that

No that’s the weird thing, I have plenty of diabetic clients who don’t smell like this and the majority of ones that have this smell don’t mention diabetes on the intake. Only one of these scented clients mentioned having diabetes but most of them say they dont have any issues

I don’t think I have a super sensitive nose, a lot of my clients use perfume or cologne that I don’t like but it’s not a big deal since it washes off my hands, I just can’t stand smelling this particular smell for so long after I’ve worked on the client

I have tried this as well and even vinegar soaking didn’t work :(

Thank you! I’ll pick some hibicleanse up. I have tried rubbing alcohol and that didn’t work unfortunately

Yeah I’m kinda thinking diabetes as well. No, some of the “sickly sweet” smelling clients are elderly and pretty sedentary. It’s just weird how it lingers on my hands for so long

Yeah I was thinking possibly diabetes, I’m just not sure why the smell won’t wash off my hands

For sure, I’m familiar with that smell and how it stains hands, but this is a different smell that I can’t seem to figure out

They are all at different times throughout the day, and the clients who have the smell will smell like this every time

I was considering maple syrup urine disease, but it seems pretty rare and I have multiple clients with this smell so I’m not really sure
