How do I prevent odors from lingering in my Snapware containers?

To prevent odors from lingering in Snapware containers, it is advisable to take a few proactive steps. Firstly, ensure that the containers are thoroughly cleaned after each use. Washing them with warm, soapy water or placing them in the dishwasher can help eliminate any food residue or odors. Another effective method is to use a mixture of baking soda and water. Creating a paste and applying it to the interior of the container can neutralize any lingering smells. Allow the mixture to sit for a few hours before rinsing it out. Additionally, when storing items that tend to have strong odors, such as garlic or fish, it is wise to use a liner, such as parchment paper, or to store those items in smaller, airtight bags before placing them in the container. Finally, storing the containers in a cool, dry place can help deter odors from taking hold.
