Fousty Protein Shakes

[ghad]

I write this with painfully sore tears running down my face.

I have just discovered 2 old shakers in the boot of my car, that must have had remains of 2 protein shakes mixed with milk.
And through a combination of the warm car, and the usual biological process taking place has produced one of the worst smells i have ever witnessed.

So just to warn, wash out shakers as soon as youve finished with them lol

Yeah, they are horrendous! Not even worth washing out when they get like that...just throw them away and replace with a new one!

There was a thread posted quite a while ago, regarding getting rid of dodgy smells from Shakers. There was some good advice on there, I think one of them was putting lemon juice in the shaker to get rid of the smell.

Yeah I posted the thread - I have cured all my 'dead shakers' now.

I would recommend a 2 stage process to exorcise the DEMONS from any shaker;

1) Soak the shaker in hot lemon Juice (Throw it in a bowl with boiling hot kettel water, then finely slice up a lemon or two, squeeze all the juice into the water, throw in the rind and peel for good measures and leave to soak for an evening). Normally I do it over night.

2) Then wash it with hot soapy water and uing a steriliser (Sterident for Dentures, 99p / 15 tablets) leave it to soak for another 12 hours - this will remove the bitter smell of lemon.

Presto........ DEMON exorcised in 24hrs

Note: The lemon juice will cause the ink / labelling on the shaker to run and smear giving you that 'worn' look on the shaker.

Cheers CTP, i think i might need to do it twice to sort this lot

[CTP]

just put in twice as many lemons dude

Cheers CTP, gona give this a try as my shakers are getting pretty honking!

According to my mother, add in some bicarbonate of soda with the lemon juice and this will work. We'll wait and see if this does the trick

I kinda like the smell of mine, it's minty flavoured
