Weird smell from a cork stopper
-
Heffalump on Nov 08, 2016If the item is new you should contact IKEA for a replacement. If it has gotten the smell from being used, I would run the cork through the dishwasher and/or soak it in a baking soda solution. I have cork pads for hot dishes that go through the dishwasher all the time. If you soak it you will need to weight the cork so that it is well submerged.Helpful Reply

William on Nov 08, 2016I would take it back. You don't know what caused the odor. Could be chemicals that can leach into anything you put in the jug. If you used it, something has reacted with the cork. Could be mold, chemicals, or just bad cork. I wouldn't even try to clean it.Helpful Reply
