You can prevent the red stains by using a non-stick spray before putting the red stuff in the bowl. I actually always spray regardless of the color of the food. Now that saves time!
Hi Andrea Jean, For the past 30 years or so I've been using a few drops of Dawn dish soap, and a sprinkle up to a teaspoon full of baking soda, last 10 or so years I've added a microfiber cloth (instead of a paper towel, or dishcloth). I wipe the container out with the baking soda, that works as an abrasive, and the Dawn as a lubricating degreaser, the microfiber cloth just grabs onto anything missed by the baking soda. I let that sit for about 15 minutes, then wash in a sink of scalding hot dish soap water, then rinse it off in scalding hot water as well. I've gotten off stains for friends that had been on for over a year. If you cooked spaghetti sauce in the plastic container long enough to scar the side walls, there is nothing that can get those pock scars out, sorry. Hope this helps. Good luck. Take care, stay safe, have a nice day. 👵☺️✌️☮️🖖 😷 🙉🙈🙊
Never ever heat any tomato based item in plastic. The acid in the tomato pits the plastic. Plastic is fine for food storage but should never be used to heat any food. With that said, if there are stain from storing tomato based item, use a paper towel to wipe out as much of the residue first. Then use lemon juice on a paper towel to wipe out the stain. Then use dawn dish soap straight on any remaining stains. Let sit for a few minutes and then wash it out.
Thank you Janet for your cleaning tip. I have a Tupperware bowl that's the perfect size for heating my tomato soup. But it's so hard to clean & it's probably stained for life. But after tonight's meal, I'll try cleaning with the lemon juice & then the Dawn.
@@nrlshhr_yaya nope, I think it’s stained for life. I eat tomato & vegetable soup often & it’s the only bowl I ever use, because of the stains. I think the actual stains are cooked into the Tupperware & there’s nothing on Earth that could clean it.
Oh wow. I am trying at this minutes peroxide and baking soda on French white casserole corningware with plastic lid. The lid is like Tupperware? Next time I use foil.
I think the best thing to do is to store any type of red sauce in a glass container. I have tried a bit of Clorox in my plasticware and that worked, but the easiest thing is to store in ceramic or glass.
I love the new Dawn PowerWash Spray. The Citrus scent is my favorite but is hard to find. It is awesome for dishes and pots & pans. It works as a stovetop cleaner too
I use bleech and a little Dawn and let it set. When you microwave and the plastic get crusty then it very difficult if not impossible to remove. Any advice?
Hi Thomas Pinter, Please read the back of your Dawn dish soap bottle, down in the warnings. Where it says: “DO NOT MIX WITH CHLORINE BLEACH!”. When the two mix together a toxic gas forms that could kill you. I know I nearly killed myself. If my in-laws would not have come home when they did I would be dead. It took about 6 hours to air the house out with all windows and doors open and fans on. Please don't ever mix Bleach and any dish soap together. From someone that did it, but lived to tell the tale, because of loving in-laws. Take care, stay safe, have a nice day. 👵☺️✌️☮️🖖 😷 🙉🙈🙊 BTW, use a few drops of Dawn dish soap, and a sprinkle to a teaspoon full of Baking Soda, and a microfiber cloth to wipe out the container. Let it sit for 15 minutes, then wash in scalding hot dish water, rince in scalding hot water as well. Should come completely clean, from spaghetti sauce stains. Good luck.
@@thomaspinter5352 Hi! You are most welcome! If I can prevent what happened to me from happening to someone else, it's worth reading tons of comments. You can mix a few drops of Dawn and white distilled vinegar to clean with, with a little water. Or you can mix few drops of Dawn and peroxide to clean with. My mother has asthma and COPD, and she cleans with these without it triggering an attack like most store bought cleaners do to her. Either one of those cleaners I mentioned, only mix up what you can use on the same day. They don't keep well, they loose effectiveness. I just use small spray bottles, like 12 ounce ones. Try the Dollar Tree for small spray bottles. One bottle for each kind of mix, and label well, no cross contamination. Hope this helps. Take care, stay safe, have a nice day. 👵☺️✌️☮️🖖 😷 🙉🙈🙊
Well that wasn’t Tupperware. But any stains I have with plastic is bleach and water works perfectly. On another note I had a little dog got into some TAR I used Dawn took it completely off
Hi Andrea Jean! I’ve been in a cleaning rut lately so I searched TH-cam for a person that can help me. Luckily I’ve discovered your channel about a couple week’s ago and I love it! Why, not just because a ton of your hacks work, but because you’re honest, personable and down to earth!!! In addition, if something you tried or come up with doesn’t work, you’re honest and you advise us to “skip it”. Thank you for all the work you put into your hacks and the videos you produce, I truly appreciate it! Sincerely Donnababy 🤗👍🤪
I store anything with red sauce in a cheap container, because those stains are more certain than death and taxes. I used to laugh at my mom for storing spaghetti in a ziploc freezer bag, but I get it now.
So true, but so many people are brought up to call things by different names, Kleenex for facial tissue, Chapstick for lip balm, crock pot for slow cooker, google for search engine. But life still goes on......
Sorry, I use Dawn and hot water on my Tupperware that had red stains for years and it worked. I believe you didn't shake it hard enough and side to side. Try it again my friend.
The plastic products you are using are not TUPPERWARE! You should do your homework before you do another video using plastic products! What you have are cheap plastic products and there is no comparison with Tupperware.
This is ridiculous. Before putting food in your containers either spray the inside with Pam, or if you don't have Pam put some margarine or butter on a paper towel and wipe a thin film on the inner surface.
Thanks for debunking this. I hate plastic containers. I only have glass containers. My husband's glass containers (for work) have a plastic lid I just use bleach on them.
I’m late but I totally agree. My hubby has the glass Tupperware for work too and even something as small as a plastic lid drives me mad. 😂 but bleach is my best friend when it comes to those.
Patricia G: When a person is going to experiment with a substance that’ll effectively ruin the good Tupperware or dehydrator trays or whatever else, why would she go right ahead and ruin her good stuff instead of just experimenting on the cheap stuff? She’s doing it exactly right. This way she hasn’t ruined anything on which she had to spend money to get her experimentation out of the way. After all, she didn’t even know if any of it would work at the outset.

Does toothpaste work to clean a toilet? I just watched a video of someone doing it. They left it on for 2 hours.
Doesnt work cap
WILL. TRY. PEROXIDE. AND. BAKING. SODA. THANKS. !!!
When you put tomato-based foods in a container put some pam spray first to keep it from staining.
does it keep all of it off permanently? my bento box has chili residue that refuses to leave.
Learned that just today from mom. Mother’s always know best ❤️. Haha. Is there an index full or verified life-hacks?
@@Neobelmont1 have you tried the Pam? If so, did it work? I'm trying to figure out how to not ruin my daughters bento box
@@Neobelmont1 cooking oil will remove the stains.

Vinegar works!
Yes!!
I did mine on fairly new containers. This is why I use glass tupperware like dishes.

Do not put plastic in the microwave!! Heat in glass containers only!

@@jwwj30 ya I tried this yesterday and it doesn't work 😂 the worst thing is that I borrowed my friends tupperware😭
I've seen the paper towel one on tiktok. It works!!
I always put a little bleach when I clean mine, then let them sit for a while.
Please use the term plastic wear that is NOT Tupperware!
Relax
Yup, Tupperware is a brand of containers. This is a toss away plastic container. Looks like food take out container from the Chinese food restaurants
Tupperware is a brand name of plastic container, and not the material it's made of.
U lie u lie u lie! Hahaha love your commentary! I found myself looking forward to shaky shakes! 👍
Try putting the Dawn dish soap in without water 1st....rub it in, then add the warm or hot water......works much better!
Done that a 100 times. Doesn't work.
NEVER. HEARD. OF. PINK. STUFF. THANKS. !!!
Lol I love how u say... You all.. I'm lazy.. YAL🖤🤣🤣
Haha that made me laugh. I live in TX but I'm not from TX and I still struggle with saying "y'all". I'm def the "you all" girl 🤣
Everyone it is common to call all plastic TUPPERWARE but it is a brand name like Rubbermaid or Gladware or Ziplock etc. Which all make plasticware.
Thanks for the hack. Your nails are gorgeous 💕
Oh wow. I am trying at this minutes peroxide and baking soda on French white casserole corningware with plastic lid. The lid is like Tupperware? Next time I use foil.
That is not Tupperware. It is cheap plastic ware.

Good to know ☺️
What does adding the paper towel do?
I used dawn power wash and let it sit with the lid on. It took off stain and curry smell.
I love the new Dawn PowerWash Spray. The Citrus scent is my favorite but is hard to find. It is awesome for dishes and pots & pans. It works as a stovetop cleaner too
great hack!
Thanks!
Try making a paste with slaked lime (calcium hydroxide). And seeing if that works. It gets grass stains out of sheep stomachs
I use Clorox spray and it takes the red out real quick with no effort. Then I wash real good with soap and water.
Using abrasives on plastics will create scratches on the surface that will make it more prone to chemical leaching and bacterial contamination.
I use bleech and a little Dawn and let it set. When you microwave and the plastic get crusty then it very difficult if not impossible to remove.
Any advice?

Thank you for sharing Andrea! I always use Dawn dish soap. 👍
I collect old bottles and use some rice in with the dawn and water.
Great for also cleaning vases as well
I use dawn works goo
good try. maybe vinegar will work better.
Well that wasn’t Tupperware. But any stains I have with plastic is bleach and water works perfectly.
On another note I had a little dog got into some TAR I used Dawn took it completely off
How about vinegar & baking soda?
It works okay....
Vinegar and baking soda neutralize the pH of each other. Kind of pointless to combine them.

I use a freezer bag too. 😂
Tomato based food always stains. Will use your tip, thanks Andrea 😊. Joan Bates
IT works for me.. Not sure why
works better with cold water dawn
Will anything work for a Rubbermaid "clear" container that's gotten stained over time storing cut up watermelon?
That is not Tupperware.
All Tupperware containers say “Tupperware “ on the containers, these do not!
You are 100% right. These are not Tupperware! I know I work at the headquarters.
It's what everyone calls plastic. We know it's not right but that's how it is.
So true, but so many people are brought up to call things by different names, Kleenex for facial tissue, Chapstick for lip balm, crock pot for slow cooker, google for search engine. But life still goes on......
The dawn spray n wash takes the red right off
Sorry, I use Dawn and hot water on my Tupperware that had red stains for years and it worked. I believe you didn't shake it hard enough and side to side. Try it again my friend.
Doesn't work for me. I've tried EVERYTHING

Relax. You are too uptight. 90% of Americans say Tupperware when speaking of plastic bowls. Not right, but that's how it is.
I wonder if denture cleaner would work?
Simple fix, just use glass containers, less plastic to recycle. Say no to plastics. 🚫
Baaaaa
This is NOT real Tupperware!
That is not Tupperware! Try it on a real Tupperware bowl!
Clean the containers like you did then place them outside in the sun. Completely natural👌
Put water in the bowl or no water in the bowl and set it out in the sun. The sun will bleach it clean... THEN you take it in the house and wash it.
This is ridiculous. Before putting food in your containers either spray the inside with Pam, or if you don't have Pam put some margarine or butter on a paper towel and wipe a thin film on the inner surface.

Vinegar and dawn
Well done
That is not tupperware.
Recycle and buy another container.
Bleach!
So basically, nothing works. I've come to that conclusion. Sighs.
Ummmm.... that's NOT TUPPERWARE.... lmao.... you're making a big to-do about cleaning crappy disposable plastic cups from the deli....

I thought it was tubberware
