My new favorite sweatshirt has a black magic marker stain at the pocket. Is there anything I can use to remove it?

Rubbing alcohol removes almost any marker.

The best product I've found is the Cascade - Plastic Booster for the dishwasher. It's the best! I Love it.

Well, whatever you do, DON'T use bleach to remove the tomato sauce stains from your Tupperware! It may remove the stains "like magic" but your container is porous and the will suck in the bleach, which doesn't rinse off easily! It also ruins the finish of the container, so next time you do the same, it will REALLY discolor. (I don't know about you, but I don't like to eat bleach with my food!!) I recommend using baking soda and water in hot water (make a paste). If this doesn't work, does it really matter that your container is orange?

Clean tomato sauce stains from your plastic containers using hot water filled to the top and plopping a couple denture tablets in.

To remove tomato stains or any other stains from plastic containers use the following method:

Take about 1 cup of bleach & add 3 cups of water. Place this solution into the container that is discolored. Leave in place for about 2 hours. Rinse well with plain water being especially careful not to let the solution touch or splash on your clothes. Happy bleaching.

Instead of buying cleaner for colored stains on plastic, like tomato sauce, etc. I submerge the item in really hot water for several seconds before I put on the soap and then I wash and rinse in hot water again. It comes out like magic!

To restore stained plastic food containers, wash them and place in direct sunlight. The sunlight removes the discoloration.

Rub some liquid dishwasher gel on spaghetti sauce stains on plastic containers, high chair trays, plastic plates, etc. Let it sit for a while. The bleach in the gel lifts the stains.

One of the best things I have found to remove most stains is a paste of water and powder cleanser - let it sit for awhile and then rinse - works like a charm. The cream cleansers, such as Vim, etc., don't work at all, though. I recently had some indelibile marker come off a package of thawing frozen food onto my light counter-top and it even worked on that.

If using bleach doesn't help and the pan is white, you can put the pan in the sun for a few days. Seems to work like a charm. Next time, rinse your plastic ware in cold water first as plastic is porous.

You can rub a light coating of liquid dishWASHER soap in the plastic container and let it sit. Product contains bleach so stains will come right out.

I fill my plastic containers with half and half of water and bleach overnight and then wash thru the dishwasher and they come out spotless.
