How can you clean food stains from plastic microwave dishes?

Answer 1

bleach

Answer 2

All microwave-safe cookware can be washed in the dishwasher, but follow manufacturer's label or guide instructions on where to place it--top rack only, or either rack. Or wash by hand in regular mild dishwashing liquid. Never use heavy duty mesh cleaners. If food remains after washing, use a plastic scrub pad. Never use scouring powders, scouring pads, or other abrasives.
If stains are left by berries or tomato products, put into utensil solution of 1 tablespoon chlorine bleach in 1 cup water (never any stronger!) and soak 1-2 minutes. Rinse thoroughly.

Answer 3

My mother-in-law always marvels at how clean my reusable plastic microwave dishes (storage containers) are.

All I do is run them through with the regular dishes in the dishwasher (top rack only). They come out squeaky clean.

If you don't have a dishwasher ... then get yourself a small box of dishwasher detergent and use it in the kitchen sink. It's amazing how what a wonderful job it does. I believe it must have some bleaching agent in it.

Good luck!

Answer 4

Bleach and a green scratchy pad. If this doesn't work, nothing will. I have a set of glass bowls. I tell the kids not to heat things up in plastic because plastic is porous and will stain. The best way is prevention.

Answer 5

I certainly have used water with bleach to take out that pesky crimson stain from tomato sauce. I prefer ceramic dishes to plastic because of fact the plastic develops scratches and regularly seems dingy no count what you do.

Answer 6

A cleaner with Oxalic acid such as Barkeepers friend brand, then next time you use them with foods that contain tomatoe based sauces spray first with Pam cooking spray then you won't get any stains and they will wash easily. Good Luck !
