That would stop the odor (although create a new one for a few days) and may also have the effect of making it waterproof.

Got two boxes from my amazing local Polish deli and washed them out with bicarbonate of soda and lemon juice. One of them still absolutely reeks. Any other suggestions?

Simply paint the boxes, and glue them ontop of one another (sticking the base of one box to the lid of the other) This will lead to a tower of boxes which can be used to give away sweets, or to store jewellery etc.. :D We had a load of cheeseboxes when i was young..
