Smelly Lunchbox

caseystar

Hi Everyone, I went to make dd's packed lunch this morning to find last weeks sandwiches still in there. :eek::eek:
Now it smells bad, i've tried washing it in hot soapy water but it still smells. :rolleyes:

Does anyone know how i can get rid of the smell? I really don't want to have to replace it so close to the end of term. Thanks.

Try putting some bicarbonate of soda in it to absorb the smell.

Bicarb's the thing!

I'll merge this with the older thread we have on this subject, to keep all suggestions together.

We came back from our holidays last week to find dd had made different korean foods and dips - she lived there for a yr - and put them into plastic storage containers.Anyway, she`s gone now but left them behind, i`ve tipped the stuff away and washed them but there`s still a strong smell on them.
Up to now, i`ve had them in hot soapy water, soaked them in bleach and sprayed them with ant-bacterial cleaner and left them outside in the sun all day but can still smell the stuff.
Anyone any ideas on how i can tackle them, please?

Have you tried bicarb? That's good at getting rid of smells.

Hi nuttywoman,

There was a thread on this a day or two ago that may help:

Smelly Lunchbox

I'll add your post to that one later to keep all the suggestions together.

I'm thinking of a paste of bicarbonate of soda rubbed onto the inside of the container and left for a good while before washing off with hot, soapy water.

I wonder if blitzing a lemon in it might neutralise the smell?
I find that the tomatoey red colouring mine gets from time to time fades after a couple of washes.
