Plastic containers are essential in any kitchen, but cleaning food stains can be a challenge. Tomatoes, oil, meat, spices, or fish often stain plastic and leave residue that's hard to remove. At La Corberana, leaders in professional cleaning , we'll tell you a simple method to restore them to their original appearance.
Step by step to remove stains from Tupperware
What you will need:
-
Kitchen paper or napkins
-
Warm water
Procedure:
-
Put a little dish soap inside the Tupperware.
-
Add several sheets of kitchen paper or napkins to absorb grease and residue.
-
Close the lid tightly and shake the container for a few minutes to allow the soap and paper to work against the stains.
-
Remove the paper and rinse the Tupperware with warm water.
-
If any residue remains, repeat the process or soak it in warm, soapy water for about 20 minutes before gently scrubbing.
This method helps remove even the most stubborn tomato, oil, and sauce stains without damaging the plastic.
Another alternative is to use lemon and salt , where you squeeze the juice of a lemon into the Tupperware, sprinkle salt on it, and rub it with the peel to remove stains.
And if I have leftover meat and fatty foods in my Tupperware:
Soak the Tupperware in hot water with degreasing detergent for 20-30 minutes. Then, scrub with a soft brush to remove any residue.
How to eliminate persistent odors
Even if the dirt disappears, Tupperware sometimes retains strong odors, especially if it has contained fish, meat, or strong spices. To neutralize them, try the following:
-
Fill the container with warm water and add a tablespoon of baking soda. Let it sit for several hours or overnight before washing with soap.
-
You can also use a mixture of equal parts water and white vinegar, letting it sit for an hour to eliminate tough odors.
- If there is a strong fishy smell, we recommend ventilating and using an air freshener.
How to prevent Tupperware from spoiling quickly?
-
Avoid storing highly acidic or fatty foods for long periods of time in plastic containers to prevent stains and odors.
- Avoid microwaving them when they contain high-fat foods, as this can set stains and make them difficult to clean.
-
For very stubborn stains, a small amount of baking soda and water can be used as a gentle scrub for the plastic.
-
Always dry the Tupperware well after washing it to avoid unpleasant odors.
