I can still smell onion and tuna on some glass containers and their lids even though I have washed them several times. can these smells get into glass . and if so what will remove them. Will the smell effect other foods I put into these same containers.

Stubborn odors can cling for quite a while, and they will effect anything else you put in the container. What I generally do is rub baking soda on to the bottom and side of the container, let it set for a minute or three, then spray with full strength white vinegar (I keep a spray bottle full of white vinegar, its great for a lot of things). Let the baking soda/vinegar mix do its scrubbing-bubbles thing, then rewash. Once the containers are complete dry - give them a sniff. If needed, repeat the process.

Soak them in white vinegar and HOT water for a while. Then rinse well and air dry. Wash regularly and your in business!

You can put some baking soda and let it soak for a few minutes and wash it with soap and water. Let it soak for while if the smell persist.

place ice cubes along with a good portion of iodized salt into the glass container. This will create an abrasive solution that will remove anything from glass (works very well in coffee carafe) as the ice begins to melt, swirl the solution briskly for about thirty seconds, repeat for heavier soils. dump, and wash as normal, problem solved.
