How To De-Funk A Smelly Lunch Box

October 10, 2012 by Leah Dossey

 

How to remove smelly lunch box odors

Remove That Funky Lunch Box Smell

Freshen up a smelly lunch box with a slice of bread and distilled white vinegar.

Generously moisten the bread with white vinegar and pop it in the lunch box overnight. Be sure to close the lunch box. In the morning, remove the bread. Wash, rinse and dry your lunch box. Your stinky problem should be a thing of the past!

Lunch Box Still Smelly?

Sprinkle a generous amount of baking soda inside the lunch box and stuff full of crumpled newspapers. Allow to sit for 24-48 hours. The baking soda and newspaper should absorb any left over smells.

Can’t Beat the Funk?

Time to get a new lunch box.
