cleaning fermenting/bottling bucket

i bottled my brew. after i bottled i was in hurry to leave, so i just washed out my fermenting and bottling buckets/equipment with hot water. the next day i cleaned it with "easy clean" and let in sit for about an hour before i dumped. "easy clean" is a cleanser that came with my equipment kit. so now about 5 days later i smelled the bucket and it still smells like beer. should i clean it again with something like oxiclean or b-brite? is there any good cleaning instructions i can get that will help completely clean my equip.?

If you've cleaned it don't sweat it, many folk's fermenters smell after several years of brewing, and yet it doesn't impart anything to the other beers.

The plastic buckets are going to have a lingering smell. 99% of the time its not a problem. Just make sure you get it as clean as you can without using abrasives and keep the sanitation up and you wont have a problem.

My local homebrew club recommends baking soda with little water to form a slurry. That takes out the odor, b ut make sure you rinse really well with bhot water a few times

I like to sniff my plastic fermenter every time I walk past it.
