pesky iron red on plastics

What in the world should you do about the died in stains of iron red on
everything? Does anyone have any advice on that? I've thought I'd just
get a whole new set of plastics just for reds? Expensive! But, if it
leaches into other things, then I guess I have no choice?? Help!

Hi, Usually for me the cheaper plastics soak up the RIO real bad.
Tupperware seems to kick it off real well. I have old tupperware that I
use for all kinds of stuff including RIO. Also I use DAWN dish soap to
scrub out my plastics. It seems to really get in there and flush out the
RIO. You might want to switch to DAWN.
