Why does it smell sour even after washing

Mine doesn't smell. How do you wash it? I usually wash mine by putting warm water with soap, blend then rinse. This I do immediately after using it. So if you set it aside after making a smoothie without washing it, it probably will develop a smell. Maybe also try changing the soap you're using. The previous comments on using baking soda and white vinegar are good ways to get rid of smell too.

I have never had that problem, however, bad smells have always been easy to eradicate with a baking soda solution.

I have not experienced this problem. Might try rinsing with white vinegar. I would also make sure there isn't any food residue stuck under the blade area.

This often happens when there is a buildup of detergent in the clothes, meaning too much has been used over the course of time. Here's what I do when my clothes and cloth diapers get a "wet dog" smell: run an extra rinse after washing and smell them again. Still stinky? Run another rinse. It will go away when the detergent buildup washes out. And in the future, use LESS detergent per wash than you currently are. It actually takes very little detergent to clean things! :)

No. If it smells , it's bad. I would suggest that you return it for a replacement. Hope this helps, Maria

Mine never smelled so I suspect yours.may have been accidentally exposed to something. I should tell you that I am very sensitive to smells, especially of chemical origin. I would return it.

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 washed it by hand because it has a very strong smell. But the smell did not go away.

I am using mine to clean my rubber stamps and I did notice it started smelling soured when I stored it while moist. Now I let it dry out and just wet it before use.

Honestly I don't like it. No matter if you wash it or air dry it never smells right after use. The foam is thick enough to hold baby in any position is just the smell I couldn't get rid of. Wash in washer and dry in dryer, even tried hand washing and air drying.

I have not washed mine yet but to be honest, I don't notice it smelling any longer. I don't store mine in the box when not in use. Because I have such chronic problems with my neck, I hang it on the headboard of my bed when I'm done with it.

Dear Emili, I have purchased 3 of these and I have not noticed any smell. Have you tried washing the whole thing and not just the cover? We have washed ours several times and they come back to the same shape they were and fresh as can be.

I've washed it on warm with a cold rinse cycle and it came out fresh and fine. Hope that helps:)

Mine is a year old and it has never had any weird or stinky smell to it. Make sure you are using he detergent and leaving the top open when it is not in use.

I have the same grill and have used it a couple of times a week for years. No smell or odd taste. Perhaps it has something to do with what you washed it with or maybe it wasn't rinsed enough?

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.

Interesting question. We don't have any unpleasant odor with ours. Perhaps you have ferrous iron in your water. One cause of the rotten egg smell is from dissolved hydrogen sulfides in the raw water (H2S). This is often found in waters with high iron content and a low PH. and that can create an unpleasant odor. We have well water and also a water softener that removes some of the iron and minerals but we've not had a problem with odor. Good Luck.

Mine didn't smell like any of the odors you mentioned when I got it. It still doesn't smell like that today, after 1 year of use. I occasionally air it out - without dirty clothes in it. The only issue I've ever had to deal with was I put damp towels in it and forgot. So the bottom got moldy. I just sprayed the moldy part with hot water, scrubbed it with a tiny squirt of laundry soap, wiped it down and let it dry. It's good as new. I don't know why yours has that smell.

It has a citrus scent. The scent doesn't remain on clothes after the cloths dry. You can only smell the citrus when the washing machine is on.
