Plastic containers are so useful for storage. Since we started our kitchen collections, we’ve all had plastic containers and Tupperware! But be honest, you’ve thrown out some containers because they’ve lost their shine, haven’t you?

Well, with this simple two-step tip you won’t need to throw out containers until they’re broken.

All you need is a lemon and a little salt.

Cut your lemon in half and wipe it all around your container. For more stubborn stains, add some salt onto the half and scrub in.

Then all you need to do is rinse with hot water and done! If you have a dishwasher, pop it in there.
