Sealing Rings for Kilner/Le Parfait Jars

A couple of mine have been used for chutneys so smell a bit "vinegary". Instead of replacing them with new, can I use them again? Would bicarb of soda rid them of the smell?

I wash mine in the dishwasher.

Oh dear - no dishwasher!

OK, what about.....put them in a jug, pour on boiling water and add some lemon juice.

(THe boiling water in a jug is what I do to sterilise new ones. I'm thinking the lemon juice will get rid of the smell).

Bicarb might well do the same job, I haven't tried it (shock! horror!) myself.

You've certainly got nothing to lose in any case :-)

Good idea - thanks - will try.
