Tupperware still smells

5 replies

DS took
Food to work in a Tupperware and then left the used Tupperware in his car for ages Shock
We’ve soaked it, scrubbed it and put it in the dishwasher but it still smells a little.

Is there anything else we can do with it to make it super clean and reusable or shall I have to bin it?

Soaking in white vinegar for a few hours is supposed to help I think.
Once you wash it it won’t smell of vinegar.

Bleach?
Fill it with bleach & water right to the top and put the lid on. Leave it in the bottom of the sink for a couple of days, turning it over & leaving to soak upside down occasionally so the lid gets a soaking too, then rinse & dishwasher again.
If that doesn’t cure it, bin it.

Bicarb and boiling water, leave to soak

Thank you all
Bicarb was the closest to hand so I’m trying that first.
