What should I do if silicone products become moldy?

With the continuous development and upgrading of silicone products, many daily necessities choose silicone materials, and silicone products have entered our homes, kitchens, and dining tables. But in today‘s humid and hot weather, it is easy to develop mold. Today, the editor will share how to clean silicone products that have mold.

Silicone products are mainly affected by humid and hot weather, and mold will rapidly grow and multiply in this environment, forming mold spots and black spots that affect our physical health. To avoid this situation, we should place silicone products in a dry and ventilated place, which can prevent mold from occurring at the source.

The presence of mold and stains on the surface does not affect the functional use of silicone products themselves, but it can have adverse effects on the body and affect the appearance. For lightly moldy silicone products, we can use dishwashing detergent, toothpaste, or alcohol to apply and scrub the surface. Generally speaking, it can be cleaned thoroughly. Because silicone can withstand high temperatures of 230 ℃, many silicone dishes, bowls, and other products can be disinfected with high temperature in a disinfection cabinet or soaked in hot water. After cleaning and high-temperature disinfection, the silicone products can be restored to their original state and continue to be used. The silicone sealing ring is also present in the lunch boxes that I usually use. If used for a long time but not thoroughly cleaned, it is easy to retain dirt. It can be removed and cleaned irregularly without affecting use or causing deformation.
