Miacup Smell.

Hello All,
I looked through previous posts about smelly cups, but could not find anything about the miacup specifically. I'm wondering, is there going to be any difference between alternate cleaning methods? The miacup is part silicone and rubber, so I was curious and wanted to make sure I wouldn't damage my cup.
I went a long time without really cleaning it because I was so busy with school and there weren't the facilities there to do a good cleaning, so it was just soap and warm water, rinse, dry for quite a while until I could get home permanently. I took some isopropyl rubbing alcohol wipes (which miacup website advised to do), but it still stinks. Really badly. I have no vinegar or tree oil, and not a spare pot to boil it in. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I could do to get rid of the smell? Would soaking it in hydrogen peroxide harm anything? Thanks a bunch :)

Thanks much,
ALC
