tomato stains on gladware

What is it you're supposed to use to get that orange tomato sauce stain off gladware and that type of plastic?  

I feel like I can remember it being something really simple, like vinegar or baking soda or something.  I am guessing it's not vinegar since that's an acid and so is tomato juice...

Anyone know?

  • Just saw this on RealSimple.com

    To bleach stains from tomato soup and other acidic foods on dishwasher-safe plastic food-storage containers, rub lemon juice on the spots, let dry in a sunny place, then wash as usual.

  • Ditch the gladware altogether.  Get yourself some Rubbermaid "premiere" tupperware.  It is 100% completely stain resistant.  I have had mine for years and they wash very nice & I haven't had to replace them yet.  I used to have to replace my old tupperware 1-2x a year just because it was so pourous and prone to stains. I've tossed my premiere ware in the dishwasher and the lids haven't deformed and hold up just fine.  Bed Bath & Beyond & Walmart sell them.
  • I have had success with a paste of baking soda and water.

  • I have filled them with water and a little vinegar and then set them in a sunny place to get rid of the stains. It worked well.
