Do your plastic food storage containers show some tell-tale signs of wear and tear? Any type of food storage containers are likely to stain with continued use. Washing them with ordinary dishwashing soap and water will keep them clean but may not remove food stain that have accumulated over time. If you have observed that these containers are starting to show some discoloration, it is time to change your old cleaning method and use a more effective one. Here are some helpful tips on different ways to clean them, so that you can get rid of those stubborn stains and get more out of your food storage containers. Still, it is such a waste to see a lot of people throwing their food containers away once they are dirty, when it would only take a few minutes to clean them up.
Usually, plastic containers can easily be cleaned just by scrubbing them with a piece of cloth or scrubbing sponge with soap and warm water. Thoroughly rinse them to remove all soapy particles. When doing this, do not use a steel wool pad or metal scraper as these can scratch the surface of your food storage containers and leave traces of metal particles. As soon as you have finished, pat them dry using a dry cloth or place them in a dish drainer to air dry. Of course, your storage container would only be as clean as the towel you dry it with, so make sure that your towels are clean to begin with.
Dishwashing Soap:
Stains on plastic food containers can be removed by coating the stain with dishwashing soap and leave it like that for about 30 minutes. This allows the soap to seep into the pores of the plastic and eliminate the stain. As soon as it is done, scrub the stain away using a soft cloth and rinse it out thoroughly.
