We take the sun for granted most of the time. It’s there, lighting and heating our whole planet, and sometimes we forget to give it credit where credit is due. But for this little DIY cleaning project, you can use the sun in all its blinding glory.
If you set your plastic containers out on a sunny day, and the sun will bleach those tomato stains away. The only problem with this method is that repeat exposure to sun and heat will eventually make your plastic containers brittle.

To get a little more direct focus on those stains, you have to give them all the concentrated power of your dishwasher detergent. The best way to do that is to make this paste, which uses dishwasher detergent to really break down stubborn stains.
Combine dishwasher detergent and hot water to make your paste. Rub this onto the stains and let it sit for a while. After about thirty minutes rinse off the paste and see clean, stain free plastic.
