How do I deodorize plastic?

Question

My son's sippie cup has absorbed juice smells. I always wash it after he's done, but it still smells like apple juice. I've already tried boiling it and I don't want to use any harsh chemicals. Does the smell mean bacteria can start growing in the plastic even after it's washed?

Yes there could be bacteria so soak it with white vinegar for 24 hours then soak it in 2 parts water to 1 part baking soda for 24 hours then run it through the dish washer

You can put boiling water in the cup along with real vanilla and let it sit for a few hours. This also works for thermos and water bottles.
