I went to Target today and bought some Rubbermaid containers, like this. They are perfect for what I want to use them for. However they have a yukky smell...kind of like plastic mothballs.I washed them with dish soap, then I filled them with water and a little bleach, hoping the smell would disappear. Still there. Now they are sitting outside, airing out. Has anyone else had this problem, or did I just get a bad batch?
Yuck! I have actually had some smell like that too. I wonder why...
ReplyDeletetry putting an unused dryer sheet inside for a day -- it works for taking the smell out of a lot of things!
ReplyDeleteVinegar or baking soda. It seems like every time I'm stumped, vinegar or baking soda is the time tested solution. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteI hate to say it but I think those things not only stink, I think they are toxic. I had some in a closed up closet. When I open the door, I get a bad feeling all over from the smell.
ReplyDeleteThey are good for a storeroom, not in a place where people are living and breathing.
I love that smell! :)
