All plastic containers (especially transparent ones) have one common problem: after the first use, it stops looking clean.
Neither a dishwasher nor expensive dishwashing detergents can restore the product to its original appearance.
But the housewives are not going to give up: they have found an effective method that helps them clean plastic containers.
Soaking with hand sanitizer
It may seem surprising, but the most common hand sanitizer can restore the color of plastic containers.
It is enough to apply the product to the stain and leave it there for an hour.
After 60 minutes, the remaining disinfectant should be poured out and the plastic should be wiped with a paper towel.
The main condition for the successful completion of the procedure is the presence of alcohol in the sanitizer.
How to Extend the Life of Plastic Containers
Avoid using abrasive powders and metal sponges to wash containers - they leave scratches in which dirt accumulates.
Do not place hot food in containers. Instead, wait until it cools down.
Do not microwave food containing tomato paste or ketchup in plastic containers. Glass containers should be used for this purpose.
When washing containers in the dishwasher, place them on the top rack to avoid deformation of the plastic due to proximity to the heating element.
