    My DS1's lunch bag thingie is the same. Must be the age. Lol.

    I've given vinegar a go but it didn't really work that well.
    Do you think if I repeated the vinegar wash/wipe deal a heap of times that would work?!?

    ild try warm soapy water dry then place in container with item covered in baking soda for a day then rinse/wipe and dry.

    i should have checked but who thinks to put a half eaten tub of yoghurt BACK into their lunchbox?
    Only laughing cause DD has also done this too on a number of occasions, once again to save for later - luckily I have caught those in time!!

    Righto am off to wipe down with vinegar then cover in baking soda...this better work!!!

    Another mum at school said that would teach DD a lesson and she should have to live with it...But I couldnt do that to her. Instead, as this is not the first time she has done this and we have told her not to, she has had $2 taken from her savings to help contirbute towards cleaning - she is saving for a DSI so this devastated her and I dont think she will be doing it again!!!!

    I would have suggested vinegar, spray on and leave to dry...

    This happened with DD's daycare and insulated lunch bag. I just put them through the washing machine with normal laundry detergent. No probs! I do have a policy in my house that if it can't go in the dishwasher of washing machine it goes out. My single mum survivor instinct.
