My automatic dishwasher easily removes tomato sauce stains from
plastic storage containers so long as they're not branded in from
microwave cooking... once plastic is heat damaged the food stain is
pretty much a permanent tattoo. I freeze tomato sauce in plastic
storage containers all the time, usually those meant for single use
but I use them dozens of times with no problem... I'm careful to allow
all foods to cool some before placing in the plastic containers. It's
not wise to use plastic storage containers as microwave cookware...
the stains won't harm you but they sure look ugli.
