My dishwasher turned all the bottles and nipples orange :(

I guess there was some tomato sauce on something that wasn't rinsed off all the way. Do any of you have any suggestions on how to get this stain off the bottles/nipples? It looks really nasty and washing them with dish soap again isn't doing the trick

*Caress*

I don't think that comes off, that always happens to our tupperware.

I've never been able to get it off. We have some spatulas and Tupperware that are perma pink.

FML! This was like, ALL of our bottles and nipples

Happened to mine too. Its faded a bunch because I wash them so often.  Someone on 3-6 recommended bleach and Tng (weird I know but supposedly its an acid thing) I would have tried it but I can't find Tang.

I have 3 that didn't turn orange that I've been comparing them to and the orange ones are definitely getting better.

Oh ok, maybe I can try to run them through again tonight. I know cascade has some dish soap for plastic so maybe I can try that. Oh! Or maybe I will try soaking in some vinegar, hot water and baking soda or something for a bit

I did the same exact thing a few months ago. Cascade makes something called "plastic booster". It has directions on how to use it on the package. It didn't take off the orange completely(if I saw one that was orange next to one that wasn't washed in the dishwasher, you could tell) but did a pretty good job. I had a hard time finding it when someone told me about it, and could only find it at walmart. Its right next to the dishwasher stuff. Good luck!

Yeah that's what I was thinking of, plastic booster! Thanks!
