Dumb Dora here has been making iced tea in a set of 2 very rigid plastic
lidded pitchers for several years. Still, over time, the tea stains had
built up, even with frequent dishwashering.

Yesterday I had an "A Ha!" moment and poured in a few ounces of Clorox along
with filling the pitchers to the brim with very hot water. Five minues
later, not a trace of tea stain. Put them through a dishwasher cycle and
good as new. Whatever kind of plastic these are made of, they do not retain
odor or taste of any contents they've held, neither tea nor bleach.

But you probably already knew about this...


I have a Sterlite brand one-gallon plastic pitcher I use for iced tea.
It doesn't stain. Hasn't in 4 years. It rinses clean and....ta! da! it
was $1 at a local dollar store.

If it ever does get stained, I'll replace it.

The ice tea of choice here is, of course, one-quart "family-size"
Luzianne tea bags.
