Make sure you don't use bleach on anything stainless steel. It will damage it. I'm so if you do this it should be in a plastic tub and/or in a plastic/enameled paint sink/bathtub, etc.
Here’s a hack that my Italian friends taught me. If you have tomato sauce in a container, take a piece of paper towel, fold it, and place it into the container. Fill it up with water about just a quarter so the paper towel is soaked and there’s a fair amount of water. Squeeze out maybe 5-10 drops of dish detergent on the paper towel. Close it and shake it well. It should remove the red stains.
I thought this was going to be one of those long winded answers that would end with "close it and shake well, then throw it out and buy a new one" lol.
Tomato sauce is quite acidic and eats into the plastic. Just rub on the inside of your container. It will feel rougher. This means 2 things: it will be hard to clean and you've eaten quite some dissolved microplastic.
I think heat is also a factor. I always make sure tomato sauce has cooled before putting it in plastic containers and transfer it to a ceramic bowl for reheating. Cleans up nicely every time.
I have never had any sauce stain a plastic bowl in like 15 years. When I was kid/teen I remember having some in the house, but as an adult that has eaten plenty of spaghetti out of these, it washes right out.

Bowls aren’t ducks duh
unless they are made of wood
BURN HER!
Who are you who are so wise in the ways of science?
She turned me into a newt
Yes, but i got better.
😆 glad you got the reference !!
Haha yes, bowls =/= ducks, who knew? 😂
So what you are saying is that I should stop eating out of my duck.
It just said 50% less scrubbing
ang half of 80 scrubs is still 40 scrubs you still need to do.
False equivalency, gotta spill spaghetti on a duck to draw a proper conclusion
or put crude oil in the bowl to see if it is easier to remove
Spaghetti on duck sounds way more fun
The staining is from the lycopene in tomatoes, and can be removed with bleach.
I leaned something new, thank you kind redditor

Steel wool and dawn still works. The aggressiveness of the scrubber I guess 🤣

This 100% ⬆️ works EVERY time
Soap is a bridge between oil and water
Why is this on r/technicallythetruth ?

Tomato sauce best in glass containers.
I think heat is also a factor. I always make sure tomato sauce has cooled before putting it in plastic containers and transfer it to a ceramic bowl for reheating. Cleans up nicely every time.
Correct! Heat speeds up chemical process, like acidity effects. Neat trick.
Just leave it out in the sun/UV light for an extended amount of time. Works for kimchi and tomato stained containers.
Use the duck, dude.
Spaghetti sauce is one of the most staining substances known to man. Only chili can compare to its abilities to turn things to that unique orange/red.
Not 100% so please fact check me but I vaguely recall reading a dawn bottle and it said it shouldn't be used on animals either.
The implication here is that ducks are either unstoppable objects or immovable forces... 🤔

they should have tested on spagetti bowl, not ducks
Rub a duck through the bowl and then clean the duck with Dawn, duh.
“I’m an agent of chaos.”
Do bowls have feathers
You cant put red in plastic Tupperware, that's the rule!
They put the duck in the washing machine. The bowl has to go into the washing machine.
Why oil in spaghetti?
If there’s this much food getting into your plastic, it should be obvious to realize how much plastic there must be in your food.
Because it’s plastic. So chemically similar to cooking oil that they bond together. You cannot completely remove fat from plastic. Ever.
Plastic is made of oil. It may surprise you, but ducks are not
