How To: Reuse Franzia (or any other "Wine-In-A-Box") or: A compact, airproof bag for liquids.

Step 5 Make Sure you get the Funk Out

I just checked the bag after letting it dry for a few days, and there is still a very apparent odor of wine. I'm letting the bag sit overnight after filling it with hot, soapy water to see if this helps cut down the smell. I'll Update this when I check it tommorrow. Please feel free to share any methods for getting the funk out. I'd say the bag is probably ok for potable liquids, it'll just make them taste nasty.

Just let the Bicarbonate of soda sit dry in the bottle until you plan to use it for portable water for camping and doing up the dishes. It will heat up a bit if the box is painted flat black.

Use Bicarbonate of Soda in warm water to remove the odour.
