I've tried scrubbing, soaking - nothing works! The plastic container is still stained with the tomato sauce. How can I get it out? Thanks for all replies!

Try bleach. But I know sometimes when plastic gets stained there is no getting it out. It looks gross but it won't hurt to reuse the container.

in case you kept a tomato depending product, mutually with pasta, in a plastic field, possibilities are extreme your Tupperware is stained. in case you heated the pasta interior the microwave utilising an same field, possibilities are extreme your plasticware is stained permanantly. Washing the dishes might want to help, yet your bins will be stained previous restore. to stay away from this, spray your bowls or bins with a no stick cooking spray earlier each and each and every use to save your plastic bins from getting stained from purple sauces.besides, one shouldn't in any respect position a tomato depending product interior the microwave if one is utilising a plastic field. because the plastic is so pourous, the tomato receives embedded interior the pores. If a field is already stained, you may want to get slightly imaginative even as washing the dishes. Your first option is to fill the bowl with warm water and drop in some denture pills. leave for some hours and once you come back back the stains will with any success be bumped off. you could also attempt soaking the sector in a unmarried area bleach to 2 aspects of water. make positive you provide the bowls an intensive rinse, even perchance a run by skill of interior the microwave, earlier utilising back.

Easy; the combination of oil and tomato coloring chemicals (e.g. lycopenes) produces a very powerful staining dye. Bleach might work or help fade the stain peroxide probably will not (the 2 are water based). You may have to experiment with different types of plastic,or be stuck with using glass containers.

Try soaking it in bleach, or soaking it overnight with white vinegar. Have you tried scrubbing with a Brillo pad? Soak first, then scrub the next morning.
It is true that you can re-use the container, even though it doesn't look so good.

After you wash it, leave the container out in direct sunlight for approx. 3 hours. Something about the detergent you used and the direct sunlight hitting the plastic make the stains evaporate. I know this sounds crazy, but a friend told me about it and it worked! I look wacko leaving it in the sun, but I have clean containers.

Try Cascade. Rub a bit of gel directly on the stain and let it sit a bit. Then, add the hottest water the container can stand. It should come out.

Sit the container outside in the sun. The sun will bleach the stain out!

My Mom uses efferdent to clean tomatoe sauce stains from her plastic bowls and it works great. Fill the bowl to the top with hot water, drop in two tabs and let sit overnight.

It probably won't come out. Next time spray the plastic container with Pam before you put any kind of tomato sauce in it.
