Removing Garlic Smell From Jar Lid

Try putting some baking soda, dry or slightly dampened, into the lid and letting it sit for a week or so. Baking soda is a good deodorizer, and the opposite of the acidic things you have been trying, so it might do the trick for this. If this, or the other things don't work, might be easier to look for a matching lid from some other jar.

You might let it sit in fresh kitty litter for a while and then wash in the dish washer, or maybe let it sit out in the sun for several hours.

Try letting it soak with some stainless steel silverware in it. That's all the expensive "miracle" bars that get rid of garlic smell from your hands are. It really does work!

Try rubbing vanilla flavoring on the lid - then soak a cotton ball w/vanilla - place in jar, seal w/lid and let sit a few days - I do this with smelly coolers and it works like a charm.

I have good luck with using a piece of newspaper, the blacker - with ink - the better. Just stick it down in the jar and screw the lid on. It may take several days, and you might want to change the newspaper after about a week. I just habitually do this with any jar I want to save and when I get ready to use it I only have to give it a wash and it is good to go. Hope this will be helpful to you.

Try closing some coffee grounds in the jar (tightly sealed) for a week or so, and see if that helps?
