If it smelled like something else I would be worried. As long as it is clean use it like it is.

My plastic beer bucket smells like the last batch no matter what I do. It doesnt seem to affect the next batch however. I'M mostly using glass carboys now. When you clean them there's no smell after.

The easiest way to remedy that problem is... don't put you face in the bucket. It's going to get stained and retain smells, but as long as it's clean, scratch free and sanitized before use, you will be fine.

There are a couple things you could do to remove the smell if it really bothers you. As posted previously, I don't think there is a problem though. Try mixing a solution of about 1 part vinegar to 3 parts water and wipe down the inside of the bucket with it for a couple minutes. Let it sit wet for about 3-5 minutes and then fill the bucket with water. Let that sit for 30 minutes or so, dump it, and then rinse the bucket. I bet the smell will be gone.
