How to remove odour from your beloved tupperwares~

You know what?

I found the best tip and am very excited to share it!

How to remove odour from your tupperware container

Those who have parted with their hard earned money to buy tupperware containers to store food and to keep drinking water will understand the woes I am talking about here.

Ever stored durian in your precious Tupperware? Terrible smell even after washing and soaking the container for a couple of days and nights right? I often loathe it when Fei or my mom used my tupperware to stored durian and I would wreck havoc for the whole day, as I hate the smell of overnight durian. Yep bitchy me~

Fish? Prawn? Soup? Even my tupperware to keep daily packed lunch for work is not spared. My tupperware reeks of nasi lemak and sambal even after washing with lots of detergents and blanched with hot water again and again.

Fret not!  Woes are solved. And guess what, it so convenient and economic!

Ok this is how it’s done:-

1. Wash your containers as usual, remove the dirt and oils. No need to dry it. Smell is still there but no worries

2. Pull out a piece of black and white newspaper, crumple it

3. Sumbat the crumpled newspaper in your container. Close it and leave it overnight

4. Next day (or when you want to use it, anytime after the next day) open your container and throw away the crumpled newspaper

5. Voila! No more smell. Tested and tried by yours truly! Don’t believe it? Do your own sniffing test.

6. Thank me for it.

Yay…..

P.s. I think this is another great tip to do with old newspaper as well. But I guess most people know it already. Cleaning windows with old newspaper dipped in water. Try it. No need wipe cloth and cleaning solution too. Save water as well. Window panes will come out sparkling clean~
