Hello,
Anyone happen to know what, if anything, will remove tomato sauce discoloring of the typical Rubbermaid (semi-rigid) plastic food containers ? Are there any particularly good stain removal sites ? Thanks, B. |

If the stains are relatively new **AND** if they're not the result of microwaving tomato products in those containers, placing them in the sun often helps get rid of the stains. |

Grabbed a pack, came home & tossed most of the others out. Did keep a few for nuts/bolts. The real disgusting ones are gone anyways. For $10, it's not worth messing around with the old ones. |

What can I say- I have poor depth perception and am a bit of a klutz, besides. I use thickwall coffee mugs for drinking, and plastic plates and salad bowls. My Corning ware soup bowls have handles. Stuff in fridge tends to be more of a problem than elsewhere, since the condensation on the glass makes it slippery, but small condiment/olive jars are rather hard to break- they usually bounce on the vinyl floor. Can't drink beer anymore, but when I did, I preferred cans. I do have normal drinking glasses and pretty china plates and stuff, but other than the very occasional times company comes over, they basically sit in the cabinet. -- aem sends, blurrily.... |

I have my peccadillos as well, but I don't know that I would give other "normal" people adviced based on my peccadillos. In a way, you're accepting ingesting something you can't do anything about and forgoing something you can prevent by being reasonably careful. Besides, everyone knows the bathroom is the most dangerous room in the house. Keep the glassware out of the bathroom and you're good to go. R |

No haven't noticed their effect on you, but we have. excuse l/c; typing one-handed; broke wrist. glass vs plastic, i have converted to glass. too many toxic probs with plastic. keep a few plastic containers for inert items; no cooking. bed, bath and beyond has good glass containers w/ very tight-fitting pastic lids that need not touch food, but do keep contents fresh. they are rectangular, which makes for economy of space, and come in several sizes. i have no connection w/store other than as customer. |

Are there any particularly good stain removal sites ? Thanks, B. Better this: Rubbermaid makes food-storage covered-box things -- tomatoes RUIN them. But they have a (sub)-brand "StainShield", and by golly, it is IMMUNE to tomato stuff. They're in the plastic-storage-things aisle of the supermarket. David |

Have you kept this anger bottled up for the 6+ years it took you to respond? You should have let it out sooner. You probably have an ulcer by now. |

BWAHAHAHAHAAAAAA, Norma just woke up from a coma, I'm suspecting. Amazing people never look at the dates of posts they are reading but will jump in with both feet to give them a piece of their mind. PSST Norma, the original post was made on OCTOBER 02, 2009. Btw, I didn't see any 'four letter words' other than what the Colonel shared with us. |
