Plastic containers are the bread and butter of food storage for many, but the cleanup is often less than desirable. If you find yourself with oily, greasy residue in your plastic containers, try this hack.
TikTok user exbrnd shows that setting and forgetting the container is part of the cleanup. After the remnants of food have been rinsed out of the container, squirt in some dish soap. Next, add a wet and folded paper towel, sudsy with dish soap, into the container as well.
Fill the container with hot water and close the lid. Shake the container to get the soap distributed throughout the interior, and then let it sit for a few minutes.
Shake it again and then scrub the container again with a soapy sponge. This soapy soak helps the grease release from the plastic and doesn’t require you to be scrubbing the interior for a marathon of minutes.
