Just fill them up with water, and add about two tablespoons of vinegar, and microwave them for one minute!! I'll bet the smell goes away!!! I do this procedure with my stinky sponges, (when they still look brand new), and the vinegar smell will dissipate, but the sponge smells nice & fresh afterwards!! I swear by vinegar, for many things!!! A gallon of water got knocked over & spilled in the car... And my kids & I were always joking about that AWEFUL smell, in the car!! We thought that perhaps an animal crawled-up under the car and died, or something!! But, it really got to be a Nuisanse!!! Well that's when I went to investigate one day!! I was determined to get rid of that smell..... That's when I saw my radiator water bottle, smashed and empty!!! I felt the floor, and it was wet!!! So, one of my kids knocked it over , without telling me!!! Or stepped on it, while getting in the car!!! However, I keep an Old shout bottle full of vinegar & water solvent in my house, for just this sort of thing.... well I went out to the car and mist sprayed all of the floor, and under the driver's seat!!! And it worked!!! That nasty smell, had been there for weeks, and the solvent completely got rid of it !!! It will also get wrinkles out of your clothes , from straight out of the dryer!!! But remember, the vinegar smell always dissipates!!! And this is as chemically safe, as if you were to use baking soda!!! Thank-God, and I swear by it !!!! Smile!!!

You used that Tupperware in the microwave didn't you? not a good idea unless it is specifically made for it...since you already have ...put a little water and lemon juice in and nuke it again... or make a paste of baking soda and water and rub into the stained areas... let set for seversl hours then rinse..most stains are NOT going to come out but the smells should

accessible paranoia, yet you're probable smelling feces. at evening set up a huge capture contained in the kitchen. fill a bucket a million/2 way with water, position a plank optimum as a lot because the bucket for the mice to climb. get a can with a string by it, and tie it by the bucket. smear peanut butter on the can. in the course of the evening, mice will attempt to leap for the PB, the can will spin and the mouse will fall contained in the water and drown. go away this out a million evening. if no mice flow for it, then you are mouse loose, and basically favor a good cleansing for feces. stumble on a drowned mouse, and make contact with the exterminator.

You can put some bleach in them (one part bleach to ten parts water) this also disinfects them. Afterwards, wash them out like you normally would.
Also, the trick to tomato stains is to place the container in sunlight if you are able, like on a window ledge or counter, and leave it there in the sun for a couple of days. My dad swears by this "trick" although I could care less about my tupperware!

Fill the container with water add fresh lemon juice and microwave. That will take care of the smells but nothing will take away the stains.

If you microwaved somethingin a tupperware that had spaghetti sauce on it, forget it. That will NEVER come out. Trust me, I tried.

I just use bi-carbonate of soda in hot water and let it soak for awhile
not for days...........just about an hour or so, it's always worked for me. I've even removed onion smells.
