Smelly jars

| Hi - some of my jars that I want to reuse still smells a bit of what was in there previously even though I ran it through the dishwasher. Any special trick to get rid of these smells or should I just run it through the dishwasher until it's gone ? |

| I would run it again in the dishwasher with a bit of baking soda in the wash. I sometimes use about a 1/4 cup of baking soda in my dishwasher if I am washing plastic containers like tupperware. A friend of mine uses 1/2 cup of vinegar in the second wash. We both get the same results. DL |

| Another option is to use a strong bleach soloution, just dip the smelly jars in it for a few minutes, and then back to the dishwasher for them. Vinegar may be fine, used in the dishwasher if you have very hard water in your area. I also use the Jet Dry liquid product before the final rinses, as mine has a dispenser inside the door that injects the Jet Dry when its needed. |

| My mom used to sell tupperware many years ago, she said to remove bad odors in plastic, to crumble up newspaper and put it in the container, cover and wait a day or two. I've done it with jars, too. Shammie |
