How to get rid of new plastic odor???

Question

I bought a new thermos from walmart and the top of it has this smell, that kinda gross me out. this isn't a smell that goes good on something that Im going to drink out of. PLEASE HELP!!!

Answer 1

boil the top then scrub good with baking soda.

Answer 2

Rinse it out with vinegar and then plain water!

Answer 3

if you can smell it you are absorbing it. i would check the quality of the plastic being used in your thermos. the plastic you drink out of should be at least the same quality of Nalgene brand plastic containers. cheap plastic bottles will leach chemicals into your water or other liquids. you are better off paying a little bit more for quality.-blurey
