sulfur smell in my new demijohn

[fcamastro]

I purchased two new demijohn containers today, the store owner burned sulfur sticks in them and they now have an odor. Any suggestions on how I can get the odor out ?

Soak them in oxy-clean over night. Why did he do that?

Welcome aboard!!

I would wash it with dawn - and then let it soak in warm water with oxy clean as Dan suggested.

I've heard of them doing that with oak barrels but never heard of it being done with a demijohn. Why would they do that?

Yup,

No need for sulfur sticks in a glass demi. Glass is non-poreous so any bacteria simply lays on the surface.

Also, the heat from the stick can crack the glass.

Just use a brush and some k-meta.
