Whiten tupperware??
Question:
Answers:
It absorbs grease from food, impurities in the air, etc. Depending on the type of plastic you can completely whiten it again. I know for sure that the older soft Tupperware can be completely transformed to looking new again by soaking it in a mixture of chlorine bleach and water. The softer the material the better the chance of the bleach working. I keep a tub of bleach water in my basement for just that purpose. Besides whitening it also takes out "stickies." You don't have to worry about it going bad because the bleach keeps it from getting foul.

SOAK THEM IN BLEACH OR BUY NEW ONES
I would recommend soaking them in hot bleach water for a few minutes. It should make them sparkle.
Vinegar and dish soap.
I have heard that you arent suposed to put bleach on plastic, but I have done it with no problems. Also, if it is the name brand tupperware, it has lifetime guarentee and can be replaced for free it it gets messed up. Good luck!
Cascade Plastic Booster has worked awesome for me. It is a dishwasher additive.
Plastic Container Stain Removal
If you stored a tomato based product, such as pasta, in a plastic container, chances are your Tupperware is stained. If you heated the pasta in the microwave using the same container, chances are your plasticware is stained permanantly. Washing the dishes will help, but your containers may be stained beyond repair. To avoid this, spray your bowls or containers with a no stick cooking spray before each use to keep your plastic containers from getting stained from red sauces.In addition, one should never place a tomato based product in the microwave if one is using a plastic container. Because the plastic is so pourous, the tomato gets embedded in the pores. If a container is already stained, you have to get a little creative when washing the dishes. Your first option is to fill the bowl with hot water and drop in a couple of denture tablets. Leave for a couple of hours and when you come back the stains will hopefully be removed. You can also try soaking the container in one part bleach to two parts of water. Make sure you give the bowls a thorough rinse, maybe even a run through in the microwave, before using again...=)
i know theyer expensive so im not going to say buy new ones but you can try to put them in the sink with baking soda and srub them. also you might want to put them in vinegar to help whiten them
