It is not always possible to wash plastic containers manually the first time after storing fatty products, even with a good detergent.

To avoid wasting time on the same action, use a clever tip from advanced housewives. Results in a couple of minutes.

Food-grade plastic containers are very convenient for storing leftovers. They can also be used to prepare food for work, on a trip, etc.

In a word, an irreplaceable thing in the kitchen and around the house.

How to remove greasy deposits

Even the highest quality dishwashing detergent won't be able to cope with this task the first time. Another problem: environmentalists and healthy lifestyle advocates unanimously shout that detergents, or rather the surfactants included in their composition, are not washed off plastic and get into the body. This does not bode well for health.

The situation is different for owners of dishwashers – this problem is completely unknown to them. Technology and chemistry cope with the task 100%.

When washing plastic, not only the surface remains greasy – even the soapy sponge becomes saturated with fat. This can be avoided.

Fill the container with hot water, add a drop of dish soap, and then simply place a paper towel or napkin inside.

Close the container with the lid, shake vigorously several times for 10 seconds, then pour out the water and throw away the greasy napkin. The container will be cleaned the first time!
