Stubborn smells can linger in plastic containers.
Anyone who packs lunch for work or stores leftovers in plastic containers knows the frustration.
You wash the container thoroughly, leave it to dry, and the moment you open it again, yesterday’s curry, fish or tomato stew seems to come back to life.
Plastic is porous, which means oils and food particles can cling to the surface far more stubbornly than they do on glass or stainless steel.
The good news is that you do not need expensive cleaning products to deal with the problem.
