Kitchen smells (warm, worth, plastic, buy)

Does anyone know how to get that plasticky smell out of new ziploc baggies?? It seems like when you put food in them it gets the smell on it and then you can taste the smell??? if that makes sense

Lemon juice?

Funny...I never noticed it before. My first guess would be an ozone generator...found in various indoor air purifying equipment. I know that will eliminate odor from onion and ammonia. So it should work on plastic bag smell. Altrhough I don't think you want to spend 4 or 5 hundred dollars to get rid of plastic smell in baggies.

I have never had that problem. I just pulled a new ziplock bag out of the box, opened and smelled...nothing. I buy the Walmart generic brand.

I buy the dollar store brand and never smelled anything. Maybe my nose it out.

I've never smelled noticed it, either. Perhaps if it is something like a sandwich or chips, you could place a paper towel in there first (for the chips) or wrap the sandwich in the paper towel first?

I've never notice a smell either. Is your sense of smell enhanced for some reason?

I've never noticed it either...but if you know you're going to be using the baggies ahead of time, why not just pull them out, open them and let them air out for a few minutes? It's worth a shot I guess.

LOL maybe I am overreacting a little

When my mother-in-law was alive, she used to re-use ziplocks. She would wash them with dish soap and warm water and then hang them upside down to dry. I imagine that would get the smell out.
