I purchased this from Nitori about 5 years ago and used it with gel balls. I am selling it because I switched to liquid detergent. I have wiped down the entire item with alcohol, but the smell of the gel balls remains. There are stains on both sides that cannot be removed (see photos 4 and 5). There are also small stains and scratches on the bottom (see photo 6). Please understand the above points before purchasing.
