Guest guest Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Thank you, Judy! I have a plastic lid marked with a big " O " because I haven't been able to get rid of the onion smell. I've tried vinegar and baking soda, but it never occurred to me to seal it off or use newspaper. Thanks so much! wwjd wrote: > Try one of the following. > * Put some newspaper in it and close it up.

I'm not sure if this will work on plastic, but it will work on a load of laudry that sours in a washing machine, when forgotten about. I just add about one cup of vinegar to a load of laundry and run it thru a quick wash cycle and the odor is completely gone. Baking soda also works in this case. I wash out my microwave oven with a weak solution of vinegar and water and it removes any odors too. So it is worth a try. > > Hope one of these helps, > Judy > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 I hope it works well for you Maureen. It is a pain when you get those odors in something you need to used for all kinds of foods, but can't because of something like picke or onion odors. I found out about the crumpled newspaper from a lady doing a Tupperware party. Judy - Maureen Wednesday, January 31, 2007 8:33 AM Re: water bottle - Judy Thank you, Judy!

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 Hi Judy, The sealed container filled with water and baking soda worked like a charm on my oniony plastic lid. Thank you so much!! Hugs, Maureen >> I hope it works well for you Maureen.
