I would try washing your plastic pitcher out first with straight white vinegar and then with a solution of 1/4 cup 20 Mule Team-brand borax to 2 quarts hot water. Let the borax solution soak for an hour or so.

Borax was our great-grandmothers' household wonder chemical, and what worked 100 years ago is still wonderful today. Not only that, but it's cheap and it's environmentally sound. I use it in the laundry and when washing dishes (either by hand or in the dishwasher); it all but eliminates the need for chlorine bleach (and all the damage that stuff does to clothes), and you won't believe how the dishes sparkle once they are dry.

The smell is probably "out gassing" which will continue until it is gone. You might try increasing ventilation, such as running a fan to the outside of the room. Also, a bowl of white vinegar in the room might help alleviate the odor, not replace it. Wipe down the walls with a mixture of white vinegar and water. Sprinkle the carpet with baking soda, let sit a few hours, and then vacuum it up. If there are washable fabrics in the room, wash them. Run curtains through a fluff cycle with a bounce sheet.

There are several methods but the one I use most often for getting rid of tastes:

1. Fill with White Vinegar

2. Let Sit

3. About Ten Minutes later, Empty and rinse

4. Fill With HOT water

5. Let Sit

6. About 5 minutes later, empty and rinse

7. Wash once more like normal

try washing it out with warm water and dish soap. if needed, you can do this a few times to try to eliminate the smell. hope this helps!

Once its washed and dried thoroughly then place either slices of lemon, vanilla or coffee (which ever strong scent you prefer!) and leave for 24hrs. The re-wash. The container should now have picked up the new nice scent too!

Warm water and soap. First, shake vigorously and empty. Do it again, leave it a few hours, rinse, and air dry 24 hours.

Take it back for a refund. I have tried everything possible and you can't get rid of the taste. Go for stainless steel or a Braun plastic kettle - Braun never tastes of plastic.
