How do I remove an old cooking smell from a reusable water bottle lid?

Our answer

Remove the lid gasket, wash separately in warm detergent water, then use a baking-soda soak on compatible parts and dry completely.

Why this approach makes sense

Start with the surface or fabric care instructions. A small test in an inconspicuous spot helps avoid damage when treating smells or residues.

Before you try it

Stop if the finish discolours or deteriorates; use a material-specific product rather than adding fragrances to mask the problem.
