Last week my girls bought some of those stainless steel bottles w/ sports tops at Old Navy. They love using them, guess they feel like big kids :) I rinsed them out Thursday night and let them air dry on the counter, and apparently a stink bug got inside the underside of the plastic cap, then got squished when I screwed the lid on it on Friday afternoon, thus making the bottle stink. I let both the bottle and cap sit in hot soapy water for several hours Fri. night, and the cap still stunk. Yesterday I let it soak in straight lemon juice pretty much all day, then washed it again, but it still stinks like stink bug :( I now have it sitting in a sealed ziplock baggie w/ baking soda, then I was going to soak it in vinegar. Any other options? The bottle was not expensive and I don't mind replacing it, but it was a clearance one and the last one left in that color/pattern, which she loves :( Darn stink bugs, I'm so tired of them, they're everywhere in my house!
