A viral hack circulating on social media claims there is a simple way to remove stains in seconds .

According to videos posted on TikTok , all you need to do is add water, dish soap, and a paper towel to Tupperware .

Jason Tetro , a microbiologist and host of the Super Awesome Science Show , says the trick works because it combines two effective techniques in one.

'The sooner you can clean stains, the better the process will be,' says Mr Tetro . Likewise, when a Tupperware container is heated, the plastic softens and the porous surface expands slightly, allowing oils to penetrate even further. Ms D'Apolito says this can be caused by microwaving a container with food inside or by the residual heat from warm food. So, if you want to ensure your containers are easy to clean, don't use them in the microwave and allow food to cool completely before storing it..
