That is cool, I wish I had known about that sooner. I just washed it out with non-scented dish soap, then applied a baking soda solution, than one more time with the unscented soap and then rinsed it, by the time I was done I couldn't smell plastic until I put my nose almost on the plastic. I even had my daughter smell it and she said she could barely smell it. So I put newspaper in last night and I should be golden.
