Kempler said in her video that the container should no longer have "that greasy feel" and should be completely clean afterward.
She told Insider that the trick came from her stepmother after Kempler complained to her about greasy containers and how every internet hack she found took too long or used bleach, which she prefers not to use in her kitchen.

Kempler told Insider that she hasn't tried this cleaning method on containers that have been heated in the microwave or dishwasher.
