My mom taught me this trick to get red stains out of plastic containers with 0 effort. Here’s how it works

8. Common Mistakes That Make Red Stains Even Worse

One common mistake is using harsh scrubbers or abrasive cleaners that can scratch the surface of the plastic, making future stains even more difficult to remove. Another mistake is using hot water or dishwashers with high temperatures that can warp the plastic and open up the pores further.

Additionally, using acidic cleaners like vinegar or lemon juice can sometimes set the stain further, especially if not rinsed properly. It’s best to avoid these methods and stick to baking soda for a gentle yet effective cleaning.

9. What to Do If the Stain Still Won’t Budge

If the stain persists despite using baking soda, try repeating the process. Sometimes, a second application is necessary for deeply ingrained stains. You can also try combining baking soda with a few drops of dish soap to enhance its cleaning power.

If all else fails, consider filling the container with warm water and adding a few tablespoons of baking soda, letting it soak overnight. This extended exposure can help to lift even the most stubborn stains.
