How do I get the dill pickle smell and taste out of a jar so I can use it to make Sun Tea?

Question

I've washed the jar and lid throroughly with detergent and even soaked it in bleach overnight but my tea still tastes like pickles!

Answer 1

Use another jar, silly.

Answer 2

The best way to remove a pickle smell is to leave half a lemon in water for about a week in the jar. Lemon removes odours from many things. We leave half a lemon in the frig,makes frig smell nice.But it doesn't leave a lemon odour at all. Good Luck!

Answer 3

I pour a capful of bleach into the jar with boiling water and a touch of dish soap and let it soak until water is cooled. Then I rinse it thoroughly with HOT water until the smell of bleach is gone (maybe 4 or 5 rinses). :)

Answer 4

Before you make your tea, rinse the jar with lemon juice, then COLD water. The taste and smell will be gone.

Answer 5

Pour boiling hot water in the jar & add lemon juice & vinegar. place a spoon inside the jar , this will stop it from cracking with heat, Then do the same again add salt and lemon juice , this should rid the smell

Answer 6
