How do I clean my Tupperware?Updated 2 months ago
Every time you empty a Tupperware container, rinse it in cold water first. Then, hand-wash in warm soapy water with a soft cloth or sponge, then towel or air dry. Avoid abrasives, even baking soda, as they may dull the finish. Removing Mild Odors: Rub the inside of the container with a paste made of baking soda and water using a cloth or sponge. Wash thoroughly with warm, soapy water. Removing Persistent Odors: Place pieces of charcoal or crumpled black-and-white newspaper inside the container to absorb the odor. Seal the container and let it sit for at least 12 hours. Remove the charcoal or newspaper and wash the container in warm, soapy water. Preventing Odors: Clean containers promptly after use by rinsing with cold water, then washing with warm, soapy water using a soft cloth or sponge. Dry thoroughly. Removing Stickiness: Rub the surface with a paste made of baking soda and water using a damp cloth or sponge. Repeat if necessary until the stickiness is gone. Preventing Stickiness: After emptying a container, rinse it with cold water before washing with warm, soapy water. Store containers without their seals when not in use to allow fresh air to circulate.
