WMBT - cleaning tips

food odour
dishwashing liquid, strong smelling foods i.e. onion & garlic etc may cause silicone tableware to hold on to certain smells
placing them in boiling water for about 15 minutes or baking it in the oven at 100°C for about an hour should remove any smell
adding a dash of white vinegar in washing cycle would help to fix the smell of dishwashing liquid too

food stains
natural food colouring (tomato, carrot, mango, strawberries etc) could somehow stain silicone
soak with warm soapy water (preferably mild dishwashing liquid), repeat it for several good washes
may also place them in direct sunlight for a day
generally food stains fade over time & will disappear eventually

white residues
minerals that naturally occur in hard water can leave a powdery white residue on silicone products
this residue is not harmful & shouldn’t alarm you
a simple trick to keep your we might be tiny squeaky clean is to wipe them down rather than letting them drip-dry
if you need to remove any existing residue, simply pop them in boiling water
