Don't put it in the dishwasher.
Thoroughly dissolve dishwasher detergent in a bucket of very hot water. Allow the sticky Tupperware to soak for several hours.
After cleanibg, set the Tupperware in the sun for several hours.

I would wipe each piece down with lemon juice to not only take out the stickiness but to help bleach any discoloration.
Actually, sometimes you have to fight fire with fire... so to speak. The stickiness may be caused from old oils on the tupperware. Just like some labels that don't come off with water soluble cleaner, oil is the key to cleaning it off. Here is a post showing the way I clean those sticky labels off.
If you are referring to the "rubbery" parts, you probably will not be able to, but if the warranty is still the same, you can get them replaced.
Soak it in hot water with a little bleach. Should remove all and any residue.
Ammonia is the perfect sticky-remover...it gets rid of grease really fast!
