Caring and Cleaning tips for your Tupperware

Tupperware products are tested to ensure that they are a safe, non-toxic, attractive and durable alternative to other home storage products. With a little care you can keep your Tupperware looking as good as new. 

Cleaning

Wash and rinse Tupperware with mild liquid soap and lukewarm water. Use soft scrub or sponge for cleaning. Do not use harsh scrub or objects to clean them. Do not soak polycarbonate range in detergent or soap. After cleaning dry them with a clean towel or keep them opened on a drying stand.
Soak your age-old Tupperware containers in diluted white vinegar solution over-night and rinse well in fresh water to give them a fresh look.

Storing

While storing cleaned empty TW products, make sure that you don’t seal the lids tightly. Leave some space for air-circulation.  

Hot food and Beverages
 

Beverage should be cooled well before sealing the lid air-tight. Hot food or liquid containing fat (cooking oil/ grease, curries, soups, sauces etc.) should be cooled before placing them in the container. Tupperware containers can withstand temperature upto 80° C. 

Tight Seals
 

If the seal is too tight and cannot be opened, then place the seal in warm water for few minutes. Dry it well and try to unseal when it is still warm. 

Stain Removal :

Baking soda paste is ideal for reducing stains and stickiness on the vessels.
Apply lemon juice on hard stains and keep it opened under the sun for few minutes. Rinse in luke warm water. Not only it removes the stain but also takes away the bad odour if any.

Lime and salt mixture, diluted white vinegar etc. can also be used for removing stains. 

Preventing Cuts, Scratches and other Damages

Avoid the use of abrasive scrubbers and washing powders. Do not use sharp fork or knife to take out the food from the container. Keep the container away from hot surfaces like gas stove, hot plate, steamer etc. 

Removing Unpleasant Odour

Place a piece of charcoal, lemon or a moist newspaper, in the container and leave it sealed for 12 hours in the fridge. These will absorb the bad smell from the container. Later wash with a mild soap and rinse well. 

 Liquid Storage

Only products with Classic Round Seal are liquid-tight and can be kept in any position. Place containers with any other type of seal in upright position.
