If you store clothing or other items inside those large plastic tubs/bins...

did you ever notice the while powdery film inside sides of them when you take them out of storage? I have various brand name bins and they almost all have this white dusty film on the interior insides. I tried to find out what the white film is, but not much luck. has anyone noticed this? what do you suspect it is?

Probably a by product of production.
I don't think anything about it, just wipe out the bins.

Maybe leftover cocaine from the Limelight days?

I never noticed this.

This is a plastic coating byproduct from injection molding to permit the extruded plastic to adhere to the mold and then be dislodged from the mold. It is plastic. You should wash out or wipe out the container prior to using. i would not assume a storage container is food safe though. I line my plastic storage bin with tissue paper prior to storing clothing. Before wearing, I would also wash the clothing.

Do you think washing the clothing will sufficiently remove this powder? I ask from a concern about the endocrine system and BPA, etc.
