    Question Staining on microwave containers

    Any ideas on how to remove stubborn food stains from microwave containers?

    DH is a shocker for letting them sit at work, bringing them home days later, stained to the hilt .

    I've tried the "can you please wash the container when you've finished" line but "he's too busy".....

    They aren't tupperware containers (but funnily enough the one tupperware dish I do own doesn't have this problem).....I feel a shopping spree coming on .

    Its the heat that stains them so you may not be able to

    Try those pyrex glass containers with lids, it's what i've brought for DH and being glass they dont stain, also can use them in oven and micrwave plus diswasher. sorry dont think theres a solution to cleaning the stained plastic.
