Spaghetti sauce

[KrisRV]

Help! I put some spaghetti sauce in a tupperware container and you all know what happen it stain my tupperware, how do I get it out so the bowl doesn't look so nasty anymore?

I've done:

Mix equal parts table salt and baking soda...add just a tiny bit of water to make a paste.

Add vinegar (yes it will bubble up).

Let soak.

Wash in hot soapy water.

I haven't had to do this in a long time b/c we use Cascade Plus (recommended by our dishwasher installation guy when we lived in Phoenix). Usually, we don't get stains that get past that anymore. Not sure if you have a DW in your RV or not... :D

Good luck!

OH...BTW...nexttime, before adding the sauce to the container - spray with a coating of cooking spray (like Pam) then put it in. The oil creates a barrier so that the tomato cannot stain the plastic. I don't do this. But I used to (before cascade) and it works pretty well. It stains but not as bad.

ALSO...DON'T cook spag sauce in a plastic container in a micro...sets stain in the molecules.

I didn't know tupperwear could go in the microwave? I only have the old vintage stuff though. (and love it btw)

Have you ever used Plastic Booster? It is for the dishwasher, it comes in a small tube, but you can also use it with reg dishwashing. I would put a drop of it in the bowl with water and let it sit.

For future reference, they have containers called stain shield in the store. I forget who makes them, but they don't hold the stain.

I hope it comes out for you.
