Brilio.net - Plastic jars are one of the household appliances that are often used. This container functions to store various food ingredients to keep them hygienic and free from contamination by dirt and bacteria.
In addition to storing snacks, some people also use plastic jars as drink containers. As seen in the upload of YouTube user @TentangRumah, where a plastic jar is used to pour a turmeric drink.
After the drink is finished, the color change occurs on the entire surface of the jar. The container that was originally clear turns yellowish, leaving stains that are difficult to remove.
This phenomenon is caused by the curcumin content in turmeric. This natural compound has a strong pigment that easily adheres to the plastic surface, causing a distinctive color change.
How to remove it is also difficult and easy. Yes, because the yellow stain will remain even after repeated washing. Some people even deliberately sprinkle baking soda into plastic jars.
But if you experience a similar incident and don't have a stock of baking soda at home, don't panic. Because YouTube @TentangRumah provides a tutorial on cleaning the plastic jar.
Put enough water in a pan. Turn on the heat and boil the water for a few minutes until it boils.

Once it boils, immediately pour the water into the plastic jar . Make sure the water reaches the entire surface of the yellowing jar.
"Soak the container in hot water for 3-5 minutes," he said, quoted by brilio.net from YouTube @TentangRumah, Thursday (27/2).

Discard the soaking water after it has been left for 3-5 minutes. Then apply the entire surface of the jar with toothpaste. Don't forget to scrub thoroughly, okay?
"Once it has been applied, soak it again in hot water for 10-15 minutes," he explained further.

Next, discard the soaking water after it has been left for 10-15 minutes. That way the yellow stains on the surface of the jar will appear to fade.
For maximum results, wash the jar with regular dish soap. Rub the entire surface with a wire sponge. Finally, rinse the entire surface of the jar with running water. As a result, the plastic jar becomes clean and shiny again like new.
