How to get smell out of tupperware?
My family bought huge "tupperware" containers made by Rubbermaid. The size is about 12 x 14 x 14 inches. I want to store clothes and bags in them but the containers smell… like plastic? and my stuff smells like the container now. I will regularly use the items I put in the container.
Q: How can I get rid of the smell of the containers? or prevent the containers from smelling like plastic? Any easy to do solutions out there that don't include putting in mothballs into the containers?
Fill your Tupperware bowls and containers with very hot water, drop in two Efferdent tablets, and let them sit overnight. Then wash as usual with detergent.

Soak ur Tupperware in hot soapy water with a bit of Clorox added, wash and rinse thoroughly, plastic smell should be gone.

Dryer sheets……..wipe down inside and stick a couple of them in the clothes.

I suggest fabric softener sheets inside the Tupperware when storing your clothes in them. Change the the fabric sheets often. I use them in my suitcases and drawers too. My husband is a nurse and they hang the fabric softener sheets in the patients rooms on the ICU floor.
