For those faced with stubborn red sauce stains in plastic containers, a few simple steps can make the cleaning process a breeze.

A key ingredient in this cleaning hack is a humble piece of paper towel. Tear off a small section and place it inside the container, ensuring it covers the stained areas.

Begin by running the affected container under warm water, allowing the force to dislodge any remaining sauce residue. Next, add a few drops of dish soap to the container to help break down the stain. Then, securely close the lid to prevent any spills.

With the lid tightly secured, shake the container vigorously for a few seconds. This motion allows the paper towel to act as a scrubbing agent, effectively loosening and removing the stubborn stains from the plastic surface.

After shaking, open the lid and remove the paper towel. Rinse the container thoroughly under warm water to wash away any remaining soap residue and inspect for cleanliness.

All you have to do is put water, soap and most importantly a piece of paper towel in the container. Put the lid on and shake it up!
