Stinky Shakers??

[cyrex]

Hey all I've been wondering how do you guys take care of your shakers. I've noticed that if you leave a shaker that was used for a protein shake well rinsed out (but no soap) for longer than 3 or 4 hours it starts to stink pretty bad. Do you guys always make sure to wash it with soap right after using it?

If you have multiple shakes at work, how do you keep it clean or don't you?

I wash my shakers out with soap every night. I only have one shake at work. I rinse it out when I'm done, but i still wash it with soap & water when I get home.

I've been taking 2 shakes at work (no other way I can get 400g of protein/day)

Same here. Two shakers. Occasionally if they smell bad, I'll rinse them out with some lemon juice and that usually gets rid of the smell. Leave the lid off to let the air circulate. The most common thing I always hear, never tried it myself, is to crumple up newspaper in the plastic shaker and close the lid. Let it stay overnight. The charcoal from the newpaper print is supposed to absorb the odor.

Weird... Never had that problem. I dont use the shakers though. I use quart sized jug ( kind of what you would use for tea or kool-aid ) Works a lot better, has a handle, wont smell, and their real cheap at store !
