Cleaning plastic bowls properly is important to ensure they remain safe for food use and to extend their lifespan. Here are some steps to properly clean plastic bowls:
Empty the bowl: If there is any leftover food or liquid in the bowl, empty it out into the compost or trash.
Rinse the bowl: Rinse the bowl with warm water to remove any remaining food particles or residue.
Add dish soap: Apply a small amount of dish soap to the sponge or brush.
Scrub the bowl: Use the sponge or brush to scrub the inside and outside of the bowl, making sure to reach all the corners and crevices.
Pay special attention to any stubborn stains or residue: If there are any stubborn stains or residue, let the dish soap sit on the bowl for a few minutes before scrubbing again.
Rinse thoroughly: Thoroughly rinse the bowl with warm water to remove all soap residue.
Dry the bowl: Use a clean towel or dishcloth to dry the plastic bowl completely before storing or using it again.
Clean the lid: If the plastic bowl has a lid, make sure to clean it in the same manner as the bowl itself.
