It's retaining odor of oil and vinegar based marinade. Washed twice, still smells. Any suggestions?

The only other thing I can think of is to let it soak in baking soda and water, heavy on the baking soda it's the only natural order distroyer I know of, let me know how it comes out!

Yes - Use Lemon Juice and/or baking soda. I have a pizza stone that had the same issue. This worked beautifully!

Were you using a little bleach to clean it? If so and the oders remain, then in a cup, try using a little baking soda and viniger, swish it around in it, you can let it soak if needed, then rince it well, if the smells stry in it after that, then my guess is its defective and I'd try sending it back for a replacement.

I don't use a dishwasher, but I would suggest running it through the dishwasher to see if that remedies the problem. In addition, rinse thoroughly under the faucet after using to lessen the chance of it retaining odor of the liquids you are using it with.

Hi Sue, I'm sorry I don't know the answer to your question. I don't know if the brush is dishwasher-proof, however, if you've got nothing to lose then it's worth a try. I've had success getting rid of stains and odor on a silicone chopping board by using lemon juice (real lemons not bottled). Good luck in your venture.

I have had the same problem no matter what type of brush I used, I swish mine in a little bleach, once in a while, keeps it clean through and through and stays in top condition. Just rinse it well.

Mine didn't smell at all. I would try hot soapy water or some vinegar and baking soda for the smell. If it doesn't go away amazon may exchange them. Good luck.

There is a slight "something cooking" odor, more so when the unit is new. Mine is over one year old and I don't notice the odor any longer.

I haven't had that issue. Maybe try vinegar to neutralize any smell and then your regular detergent.

Mine doesnt have any smell at all i would try cleaning it with dreft stain remover. As weird as it sounds it is a really good cleaner for stenches (cant say ive ever tried it on that smell) or exchange it. I bet it warmed up somewhere that caused the plastic to smell that way.

So far I just wash it out with soap and water but plan to run vinegar water thru it soon. Haven't had it that long.

Not sure what bad smell others are talking about, I have not had that experience. Both my pillows are fine, and have no smell, however, when I want an oder out of something I put it in a garbage bag with a bunch of baking soda poured in it and leave it for 3 days, then check it. If I wash something I use vinegar to take smells out. And, yes I've washed down before, the trick is getting it dry. I hang it on the line all day, and it must be a fairly hot day or it won't dry.

In the past buyer have infomred us that items may have a smell to them. This is an easy thing to fix. The item just needs to soak over night in warm water with some baking soda. This removes this smell.

I wish I could help you concerning the odor. I never opened the one I bought up. It was a replacement for someone in the family. I accidentally Machine WASHED hers and it Ruined it! Don't wash it, take it to the cleaners and ask them is my suggestion.

I just got mine out to check. I have a pretty good sense of smell and mine had no odor. Sometimes soaking it submersed in vinegar for a few days will clear the smell. Good luck!

Hi: Sorry that you are having trouble with your microwave. I have a good sense of smell and have not found this happening with my microwave. I hope this can be rectified with who you brought it from.

That's odd! I routinely wash mine in the washing machine with hot water and a gentle detergent and haven't yet encountered that problem. You could try a hot wash with a mix of 1/3 bleach and 2/3 water or try a but if vinegar in the wash. Those might help with smell, just make sure to do an extra rinse cycle with both. Also try line drying in sun??

I have had this issue too but discovered washing at a higher temp and or using a bit of bleach and using an extra rinse cycle keeps the synthetics fresh. Otherwise, the synthetics will stink!

I know. That happened to me too. I soaked them in hot water with dish-washing soap for an hour. Washed them thoroughly and dried them. I have had to repeat the procedure a second time. Now there is no smell. The effort is worth it. The product is great. I just got out some leftover smoothie that I had frozen in one and ate it out of a bowl like ice-cream. Hope this helps

Mine didnt have a rubber smell, thats weird. But I would probably try hand washing it with dish soap or vinegar and air dry

I never noticed any smell when I received it. I have had it over a year now and after washing it yesterday I checked and it smells like my laundry soap. I would give it a wash that should work.
