"Silicone kitchenware is naturally nonstick, can handle extreme temperatures, and is incredibly flexible and easy to store. But without proper cleaning, it can develop odors and become moldy, which will affect food safety and quality. Fortunately, there's no need to toss moldy silicone ice cube trays, molds, mats, or bakeware. The best way to remove mold from silicone is to soak it in a clean tub of hot water and distilled white vinegar for a few hours."
"Soak items in a tub of hydrogen peroxide and warm water to remove stubborn mold stains. When using peroxide, rinse all items in clean water afterward. After cleaning, dry carefully with a soft microfiber cloth to remove all traces of water from every nook and cranny. Letting water (or other liquids) sit on the silicone is what makes them moldy in the first place, so items should always be fully dried after cleaning and before storing."
Silicone kitchenware is nonstick, heat-resistant, flexible, and easy to store but can develop odors and mold without proper cleaning. To remove mold, soak items in hot water mixed with distilled white vinegar for several hours, then gently scrub with a soft-bristled toothbrush or small kitchen brush. For stubborn stains, soak in hydrogen peroxide and warm water, then rinse. Boiling water, sometimes with baking soda, can sanitize and deodorize. Check manufacturer instructions before using a dishwasher and use the top rack if dishwasher-safe. Fully dry all silicone pieces before storing to prevent mold recurrence.
