The perfect hack to get the stains out of plastic containers

However, one TikTok angel, Adi Kempler, has shared with everyone a handy trick to dissolve the stains without any soaking and the whole thing takes less than a minute. Adi captioned the video:

So, I never post on here but I really wanted to share this trick for getting greasy stains out of Tupperware. This hack has saved so many of my Tupperware friends. Try it!!!!

The trick

First, Adi squirts a little dishwashing liquid into the container and adds in some warm water like usual. But then, she tears up a few sheets of kitchen roll and pops them in with the soapy water.

Then, she puts the lid on and shakes the container for about 45 seconds. After that, she pours the contents out into the sink and the stains have magically disappeared. But, remember to grab the paper from the sink before it clogs up your drain!
