Melamine Or Plastic Ware Soaking Solution

Photo of plastic food containers soaking in a sink

A baking soda soak lifts stains and odors from plastic and melamine dishware — the kind that lingers in tomato-sauce containers no matter how many times you wash them.

What you'll need

Steps

  1. Dissolve baking soda in warm water in a basin or sink.
  2. Submerge the dishware and let soak 30 minutes.
  3. Wash as usual and rinse.
Tip: Sun-drying stained plastic after washing helps fade any remaining discoloration naturally.
