I bought some chicken and put it in my insulated grocery bag to bring it home. I thought I had taken it all out, so I put a couple other of my insulated bags inside this one and put it out in my car for my next shopping trip. My car began to smell and when I looked in my bags I found I had forgotten a piece of chicken (it was wrapped individually). Now all 3 of my bags smell really bad.

I have tried washing them in the washing machine with vinegar, still smells, and now I am soaking them in the tub again with vinegar. Any suggestions on how to get rid of this smell? Or am I out of luck and should throw out the bags.

Hi, this is Amber. I'm a youth entrepreneur. I sell Kool bags - thermal insulated shopping bags that use space age technology. They're COOL because they're so easy to wipe out. They hold LOTS of stuff and keep your groceries safe up to 3 hours in hardly any space. My grandma has been using hers for over 5 years and I love them so I decided to sell them because the bargain priced, envelope style ones the grocery stores sell are not very good. You can see the Kool Bags on my website at YouthBusiness.us
You won't have to worry about getting odors out any more!

Crumple up newspapers, and put them inside the bag and close it for a few days. This might work. Judy B. Williamsburg, On. Canada

INsulated grocery bags are cheap, and you could make your own out of bubble wrap. So go ahead, toss all those bacteria, and make or buy new.

Baking soda absolutely and if you don't use detergent, then use Vinegar. Use a liquid, scented fabric water or perfume in the rinse. Also a long hard soak like 8 to 12 hours w/ agitating in between.

Take them and get the biggest ziploc you can, put them in there with cat litter and throw them in the freezer for the week end. The cat litter will soak up the smell, and the cold will kill any bacteria that exists.
