It is hard to get it out once it is in the plastic. In future if you have tomato sauce or fatty foods that can discolor your Tupperware rinse it in cold water first and then wash it in soapy water. If you soak it in hot water before rinsing it will set the stain in your Tupperware.
As a side note to a previous comment Tupperware doesn’t have any harmful chemicals in it so you don’t have to worry about toxins getting into your foods from it. NEVER use old margarine, yogurt ect containers for food storage though….once you wash them the protective film inside the container is gone and that plastic will deteriorate and leach into your foods.
BLEACH
If you find out tell me!
I usually rinse it well and then soak it with Lemon juice or Lemon scented(sunlight) dish soap.
It’s a good idea to take a paper towel with a little Olive oil on it and "wipe" the inside of the bowl, before you put sauce in it too.
i have heard of lemon juice working to.
You can try white vinegar. But please keep in mind that storing fatty foods or acidic foods like tomato sauces in plastic causes the chemicals in the plastic to leach into your food, and that is not good for your health. The same way your tomato sauce migrated into the plastic, compounds from the plastic migrated into your sauce.
Buy a cheapie brand of dishwasher detergent and use that… You can soak the Tupperware in the water and it should come out stain free..
Use bleach but only use a very weak solution and soak it for a while. Make sure that you wash it well after.
