Homeowner Forum / Cleaning / April 2005lexan plastic bowel stain
i have a food processor--processor bowel is clear plasstic--i suspect lexan ran some dried chilli peppers through it to pulverize--what was left was a very superficial stain ( rd color of the petters0 tried, detergent, oxy stain dremover and dish waser powder and ver very fine pummice--bleach does not remove it any suggestions on how to remove it?--i suspect there are plastic polishing compound out there but not usee it would work as pummice did not tia peter > i have a food processor--processor bowel is clear plasstic--i suspect lexan > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > tia > peter Proctor and Gamble has a new product called Cascade Plastic Booster. It is designed to remove red lycopin stains from plastics. http://www.homemadesimple.com/cascade/products/booster.shtml Vox Humana i dont know if this went through so reposting it got the cascade plastic boost--seems to be mainly benzoyl peroide--smeared it on stain no results--mixed it with cascade powder and will see what is left in am incidently tried sodium hydroxide to no avial tia peter > Vox Humana > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > tia > peter I have to ask... Is it that earthshatteringly important to rid this workbowl of the stain? After all, it *is* a *work* bowl. For what you're paying in cleaning products, you'll soon be able to buy a replacement. As a long time user of food processors, I have to stay that while I've never had a stain, my bowls eventually turn almost frosted from the abrasion chopped hard foods like nuts, frozen cranberries, etc. It's an expected condition that I have no problem living with.

Sam Goldwyn, 1882-1974 Wayne i agree it is not a major problem other than understanding the chemistry i kind of aggravates me to have a bowel ( it is in front of a white refrigerator) that has a red strip similar to that of the titanic--also if the bowel is capable of being stained it also suggests that the bowel cannor bve disinfected--i would never process chicken in it now tia peter > Wayne > > i agree it is not a major problem other than understanding the chemistry > > i kind of aggravates me to have a bowel ( it is in front of a white ----- I think almost anyone would find this aggravating! (sorry, Peter, I couldn't resist) > refrigerator) that has a red strip similar to that of the titanic--also > if the bowel is capable of being stained it also suggests that the bowel > cannor bve disinfected--i would never process chicken in it now > > tia > peter FWIW, there may have been some kind of chemical reaction that caused the stain to set so indelibly. Not a matter of permeating below the surface of the plastic. If you wash your f/p parts in the dishwasher, I wouldn't think that processing raw meats would be much of a hazard. SignatureWayne Boatwright ____________________________________________ Give me a smart idiot over a stupid genius any day. Sam Goldwyn, 1882-1974 ilaboo read up on beta carotene--probably what is causing the problem--it reacts with oxygen to form a ...colorless compound--merck index planing on playing with high concxentraion of hydrogen peroxide so;utions found in hair bleaching products---some i believe can be over 30 % peroxide--i believe the Germans used something like this to fuel a submarine!! Vox Humana tried the plastic booster--benzoyl peroxide--made paste with cascade dishwashing powder--took most of it off overnight will repeat it looked up the chemistry of lucoprene--beta carotene--bonds look difficult to break--suspect alkalinety of powder releasted hydorgen peroxide from benzoly peroxide and that 's what did it interesting stain to remove tia peter > | i have a food processor--processor bowel is clear plasstic--i suspect lexan > | [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > | tia > | peter Try this. Don't know about chili pepper dust, but it works great on other stains and scratches on Lexan. http://www.novuspolish.com/polish-home-frameset.htm By the way, it's "bowl" not "bowel." Tom i tried pumice to no avail--i think what happened is that something got caught between the edge of the blade and the bowl and the pepper material actually got welded into the plastic from the heat i dont know if i posted what worked but plastic booster with paste made of it and cascade dishwasher soap took iot off after 2 attemps overnight--plastic booster says copntaions benzoyl peroxide--merch index for beta cartotene says it turns colorless when exposed to oxygen fwiw peter |
