Does anyone who has had these for a while notice staining or discoloration in the plastic?

No I haven't, but I only use mine for staples like sugar, nuts, etc..Have had mine for about 7 months or so and love them!

I have had six of them for a bit less than a year without any discoloration. If anyone has noticed discoloration after a longer period, I'll be curious to know.

I have not had any issues with staining or discoloration and I have had them for a few years. I have only had dry baking ingredients ex. flour in all of them.

Yes, they stain. Very quickly. They still get clean and continue to work great. Mine look like they have been through a lot but cookies come off cleanly and melted cheese slides right off.

I would return them. They should not stain. Ours did but we had them unite a while and I think it happened because we put them in the microwave.

No. I have had my set over 3 years with no problems...they look like new. I recently added a second set and you can't even notice the difference between the two sets. I use mine everyday and and they go through the dishwasher many times a week.

I havent experienced it yet with the clear one I got, and I've had it for 2 months. I have had 2 cases that were each half the price of this case bought at walmart or something and they turned yellowish although it was a longer span of time. So this type of material must discolor. I wonder if there is any way to prevent it "

Mine have not stained at all yet; I have used them to cool chocolate covered nuts, and to bake biscuits. Maybe the generic brand is the problem?

Mine have not but have had about a year and they are tan, not fading and do not appear dirty at all.

I've had mine for years. The container does not get stained. The mesh filter does a little, as it is harder to clean.

Mine have not discolored if immediately kept clean after use /gently dried and turned upside down. I drink from mine all the time and I have had no ill effect

I have had mine for almost a year and they haven't discolored, but I have them on drawers that do not get daily use.

I've had mine for months and haven't noticed any discolor. Best case I've bought so far.

I've had mine for 1-2 months and have not had any stains. I do empty and rinse after every potty, though:)

Mine has become slightly discolored but i wont say dirty. I wipe it regularly and it still looks very good.

No they haven't rusted or stained at all. I have had them for many months now and no problems. Still love them!

I have not had those issues with my set, but I want to point out I rarely get to use my set due to only being home occasionally. My toddler nieces enjoy them when they visit. No visible chrome scratches so far from them climbing up and down the stools. When I do use them, they never disappoint as far as performance. They look just as good today as they did upon coming out of the box.

No, I don't recall them staining. Or if they do, only a little and they clean up well. They will sustain tiny scratches from sharp knives. I consider these plates to be my "every day plates", to be used and abused by my family. I do not stress about tiny imperfections. I am happy that they don't shatter, don't get as hot in the microwave, and are basically indestructible. Good luck with your decision!

I've not had any permanent stains. They come off with hot water / soap or in the dishwasher.
