Can silicone bowls still be used if they become moldy?

Silicone products are widely used, and in our daily lives, we often encounter some problems with silicone, especially in the south. When we return to the south, it becomes humid, and many things will become moldy, especially some silicone kitchenware. People are very concerned about whether those moldy silicone kitchenware can be used.

Taking silicone bowls as an example, if they become slightly moldy, they can be cleaned and disinfected before continuing to be used. For lightly moldy silicone bowls, you can use dishwashing detergent, toothpaste, or alcohol disinfectant to wipe and clean them, and then put them in a disinfection cabinet for sterilization. This treatment can effectively remove mold and restore the silicone bowl to use

However, if the silicone bowl is severely moldy, even after cleaning, it may not be possible to completely remove all mold and bacteria. In this case, for health reasons, it is best to replace the silicone bowl with a new one.

In the production process of our silicone products, in order to ensure product quality, we usually conduct inspections on the products. If there are defective products, they will be directly scrapped. So in the normal production process, in order to ensure product quality, silicone product production enterprises will strictly manage the production workshop. In general, silicone mold often occurs in humid environments. Because in such an environment, mold grows quickly and has strong reproductive ability. If not handled in a timely manner, it may lead to product mold, yellowing, and other situations.

Overall, if there is mold on the silicone bowl, we should consider the degree of mold and the method of handling it before deciding whether to continue using it. When dealing with moldy silicone bowls, priority should be given to maintaining personal health and food safety.
