How do you get rid of plastic container odor?

Question

I bought a cool plastic shaker container to make milkshakes. But the inside smell of plastic, really bad!!! I have washed it in the dishwasher like 5 times, soaked it 3 times, and even put baking soda in it for 2 nights. It is still there. Any tips to get rid of the smell? THANX!! :)

Try lemon juice& bicarbonate of soda about 2 table spoons each ( Roughly) and boiling water, leave for a good hour. Also, sounds weird but denture cleaning tablets get rid of smells brilliantly in my flask. Again pop in tab and fill with boiling water.They also have bicarb in them, which is a great odour eater! Works great sprinkled in smelly trainers too! The bicarb, not the denture tablets! Remember though the bicarb will make the water fizz up, so pour it in slowly until the fizz stops, then you can fill it right to the top. Good luck. xx

Answer 2

I ended up getting rid of mine and replacing it with a stainless one. I couldn't get rid of the smell either.
