Ny way to remove stains (e.g. from curries and pasta sauces) from plastic containers

I like using microwaveable plastic containers to bring my lunch in as they are my lighter than the Pyrex/glass versions. However, reheating my food up creates unsightly stains.

After washing them, fill them with a mild bleach solution (one tablespoon for each cup of water) and let them out in the sun exposing the stain for a whole day. Make sure children and animals cannot reach the containers with bleach.

There used to be a product called Cascade Plastic Booster that you could add to your dishwasher that would remove the stains. It's no longer sold but its main ingredient was benzoyl peroxide at 5%, which you may buy in most drugstores.
