Bought a couple new 22L green Proquip water jerry cans for upcoming sojourn, didn't bother to open them up for awhile and when we did ... oh man, must smell like a French brothel would smell...
We've soaked them in a baking soda/water mix then vinegar/water and then with a couple drops of bleach and water. No improvement and even just let them sit with just old water. Each treatment lasted days, water was over a week.
The perfume smell is obnoxious still. These are suppose to HDPE and made here.
The store help looked like a roo in headlights when asked about the smell and how to remove it.
Any suggestions? Tx.

G'Day Husky,
I don't know if this will help but i used this on my CT water tank and when i used to home brew this is what i used it's called Sodium Metabisulphite and is available at Woolies in home brew section or brew shops or chemists.......I hope this solves your problem
Cheers Tracker.
