I don't think you will have any problems with plastic trays. Something I do is use the same tray for the same chemical each time it is used. I have used a permanent ink marker on the bottom to mark developer, stop bath, fixer etc. It may not be necessary but I feel better about it. A thorough cleaning after each use would just be common sense.
