Resealable retail food packages

[Rush2112]

we keep some plastic and glass containers too. I really hated trying to wash them and get rid of the smell/taste left behind. especially peanut butter and mayonnaise jars. wasted too much water and time trying to get all remnants out.

to clean jars easily: fill almost to the top with tap water, give a good squirt of dish soap, reseal jar tightly, shake, let sit by the sink for a day or two. when your washing other stuff turn the jar over and give a shake. after 2 days rinse out the container and repeat the process once more, done.

to get rid of lingering smells/ taste: after the container has been cleaned, refill with water and add a generous amount of baking soda, shake well. let it sit for another few days, flipping over and shaking from time to time. repeat as needed. we used this to clean some excellent plastic bottles that had Spanish mojo marinade in them. to be truthful , still has very faint smell, but water has no taste.
