How do you keep odors from sticking?

I hand wash and have never had a problem with odors sticking. For that kind of problem I would try soaking in a little baking soda (or sit it out in the sun for a day). Good Luck!

I haven't had any issues with that. I cook all types of veggies and just rinse it out right after with hot soapy water then I put it in the dishwasher.

I no longer have odors stick (even after mw broccoli). After mw broccoli, I immediately soak the steamer in the sink (hot water & Dawn, proctor&gamble) for 10-15 minutes, and then wash in the sink (again use Dawn.) Before I started using Dawn, odors did stick to plastic. To remove lingering odors from plastic, the only thing that removed the odor was (1) soaking overnight with WHITE vinegar and water, then (2) washing in the sink with dish detergent, and then k(3) rinsing with water and FRESH lemon. The vinegar needs to be white (clear, no actual color or flavor), and the lemon needs to be fresh 'squozen' (not from concentrate). What an ordeal!! I sometimes go to the website of the manufacturer for details and tips & FAQ. www.sistemaplastics.com

Use distilled vinegar--spray it on, let it dry and then wash it..or, put about 1/2 C to 1C in the steamer and stick it in the microwave for a few minutes--let it steam up, let it cool off and then wash it (this last method gets rid of stains too).

I used these in my closets along with the damp rid closet hangers. They did get rid of odor and they do last around 90 days.

This can be remedied very easily. Purchase the largest size (50 or more gallon) heavy trash bags...my preference is the type that is rolled or box, of at least 20. Stretch top OVER outside upper rim, thence tighten the plastic string that is usually made to tighten top of bag when full. Day that Trash is picked up, lift from the outside rim, and tie well. The Toter will stay clean, and this will assist with "odors". I also use a scent that is taped onto inside of the lid...lemon is my favorite...as most receptacles are not well taken care of. Mine is an investment ... so it is treated as such. Excellent quality and time saver. Hope this supplies a solution. Good Luck! Chris

It clumps fine but the smell that emits is still very strong, I have to clean the clumps out all day to prevent oders.

ours did not have an odor. Maybe febreeze and leave the door open to air out?

not sure why this happened....try white vinegar and cold water usually works on residue and neutralizes odor ..one part vinegar to two parts water

Ours didn't have that odor to it at all. But I would try some kinda heavy detergent. Hope this helps

Put it in the dryer on low for an hour with a dryer sheet, or wet a washcloth with fabric softener. It may take a few cycles but it will go away. I have had mine for three days now and no odor at all.

throw it in the dryer with a dryer sheet and it will help with the odor. Doesn't last too long unless you have a sensitive nose.

I would get a product called Scoe 10-X. You can find it on the web. It is effective against any odor I've ever used it on including skunks and dog smells embedded in cars. It's totally natural. It's worth the money and it works.

� it should help but I would scrub with bleach and repaint. Then use 0 odor to maintain.

I didn't buy one and it keeps the odor in. I use the garage for a diaper pail too and I just spray lysol whenever I change the bag. And I really just do it to keep it clean not because of a smell.

Like the others have replied, just squeeze a couple drops. I only use mine for my Mother's bedside commode when she visits. After a while that particular scent starts to bother me. It is a scent that reminds a person that they are trying to get rid of an odor.

We had no odor with ours. I just wiped it down with Lysol wipes, just to please my "clean freak" persona!

I just add more pellets as they get low. And then clean the whole box once a month. Wash it out and dry it & then use all new pellets and start over. I don't notice any odor from the pellets themselves & I think that's because of what they are made of. But honestly haven't held any up to my nose. The odor I notice is when I need to change the pad and I do that every couple of days.

Put it in a bucket of kitty litter, that it how I stop shoes from being stinky. Well I fill old socks with kitty litter, tie in a knot and shove in the shoe until they are ready to wear again. :)

I have zero problems with odor, and I don't even use the baking soda. I only change the bag once a week. You could place a deodorizer inside the door, like Glade or something.
