My Nana Was a Smart Lady: The Secret Trick for Removing Stubborn Tupperware Stains
We all know that Tupperware is a kitchen essential. It’s durable, versatile, and perfect for storing leftovers. But, if you’re anything like me, you’ve probably struggled with those stubborn stains that seem to permanently cling to the inside of your plastic containers. Whether it’s pasta sauce, curry, or even tomato soup, certain foods leave behind stubborn stains that don’t come off easily. But as it turns out, my Nana had a smart trick up her sleeve for getting rid of these stains, and today I’m sharing her secret with you!
Why Do Tupperware Containers Get Stained?
The main culprit behind Tupperware stains is the chemical compounds in foods, especially acidic foods like tomatoes or curry. When these foods are stored in plastic containers, they can seep into the material, leaving behind unsightly discoloration. Over time, these stains become harder to remove with regular washing.
Additionally, the porous surface of plastic can trap oils and pigments from the food, making it feel like the stains are there to stay.
But here’s the good news: with the right techniques and ingredients, you can bring your Tupperware back to its original, clean state without resorting to harsh chemicals.
