I’ve heard a few methods, but here’s two: making a paste with baking soda and coating the inside of the container, letting it sit for a day and then rinsing it out. Repeat if necessary. The other one is to use bleach. What I’ve done is rinsing out the container and just letting it sit three or four days filled with liquid soap and water.

Something to do to help prevent the smells is to spray a little cooking spray over the inside of your container before you add the kimchi; this will also help keep the plastic from discoloring and make it easier to clean. I do that with spaghetti sauce all the time and it makes everything so easy.

Another thing: if you’re using a very scratched piece of tupperware, it won’t clean as well because bacteria will hide in the scratches.

Happy cleaning!
