Plastic containers are ideal for storing many types of food.
In addition, such containers with food are convenient to take with you to work: a person has the opportunity to have a snack at any time.
However, plastic containers have a serious drawback: the material quickly absorbs odors.
So it is not surprising that the food has long been eaten, but the container continues to smell of food residue.
You can, of course, wash the container. But it is far from certain that detergents will cope with removing the excess smell: the plastic is very strongly saturated with it.
Therefore, you will need a material that has even more pronounced “absorbent” properties.
What to put in the container
Do you have a stash of old newspapers in your apartment? You are very lucky!
The fact is that newsprint is an ideal product not only for washing windows, but also for removing excess odors from plastic.
The newspaper needs to be crumpled and placed in a food container.
In addition, it is advisable to wrap the container in newspaper. After some time, the material will absorb excess "aromas", and the plastic container will begin to smell neutral.
To ensure that the problem never makes itself known, it is advisable to initially wrap all plastic containers in newspaper and store them in this form at all times.
