How to get the smells out of recycled/repurposed plastics

I have half a dozen hair food tubs. They are sturdy with screw lids and I've got rid of the labels Witt sticky stuff remover. They look really nice but the fruit conditioner smell is so strong.

I've tried leaving them in the dishwasher several times, filling them with hot water and bicarbonate soda - I was sure this would work but it hasn't. I'm using one of them to store the bicarbonate when the box split - the smell in that tub is just as strong!!

Any ideas?

Maybe leave them outside? Works wonders on Yankee candle jars but that is glass
