I leave mine overnight with boiling water and a couple of teaspoons of bicarbonate of soda in it then rinse it with boiling water again in the morning, seems to do the trick

Before you store a flask, put a couple of tablespoons of sugar in it - stops the smell everytime

Copy that, the same reslut if you leave a fridge unplugged and the door shut,it goes all fusty.

the smell is a build up of Bacteria in the flask, clean this using a neutralising cleaner then never store with the lid on.

I wouldnt advise bleach at all.

Have a wank in it, put the lid on and bake it for 8 minutes at 200C on the middle shelf.
Problem sorted
