Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wash the pitcher and lid by hand with warm, soapy water. A bottle brush may be useful for reaching the bottom of the pitcher.
- Dishwasher Use: Tupperware products are generally top-rack dishwasher safe. However, hand washing is recommended for longevity, especially for vintage items.
- Stain Removal: For stubborn stains or odors, create a paste of baking soda and water, apply it to the affected area, let it sit for a few hours, then scrub and rinse.
- Drying: Allow all parts to air dry completely before reassembling or storing to prevent moisture buildup and odors.
- Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the plastic surface.
