To clean stains and yellowness, it is best to use soap, a sponge and bleaching agents that are suitable for plastic.

Rubbing alcohol will also help you kill bacteria on the plastic.

You can also sanitize plastic using heat. You can use a microwave or dishwasher for this.

To sterilize, place the container or other plastic utensils in the microwave for 1-2 minutes.

Be careful as high temperatures can melt the plastic.

Polypropylene plastics are stronger than standard plastics and can withstand high temperatures.

For whitening, you can also use a solution of citric acid and water, baking soda, hard sponges and brushes.
