How do you get food odor out of Rubbermaid storage containers?




one of my containers got lost in the refrigerator and by the time I found it, I can not get the smell out of my container! I tried closing it with soda and vinegar inside for a few days; used 2 kinds of odor spray and closed it; and then put newspaper inside for 2 days. Any other suggestions?

Baking soda and water works well

I would throw it out, Jeannette.
Did you find a solution? Or did you just throw it out? I have a very stinky container in my dishwasher now and am worried it's just going to make all my dishes smell 🤢
