How To Get Stains Out Of Tupperware, According To TikTok

If you had perfectly-cooked pasta, but made too much, you'd likely put the leftovers in a container and tuck them in the fridge, right? The only downfall here is that red sauces, curries made with tumeric or rich brown beef stew will likely leave a stain if the vessel is plastic. Luckily, someone on TikTok shared a cleaning hack for erasing that hard-to-remove stain.

According to TikTok user @adikempler, all you need are three items to clean your Tupperware: soap, warm water and a few pieces of ripped up paper towel. First, squirt some soap into the container, then add just enough warm water to make it bubbly (she fills the container a little less than halfway) and place the paper towel pieces in the water.

Next, pop the lid on and shake vigorously for 45 seconds to a minute. Once you take the top off, remember to fish out the paper towel pieces, and then give your container a rinse. What once housed an orangey ghost of dinner's past should now be completely clean and free of grease.
