How to remove smell from silicone tableware

Particular attention should be paid to caring for the lids and silicone straws of the 4-in-1 cup, the cutlery handles and the silicone inserts of the bowls (if you use them as separate bowls).

If you find that the silicone starts picking up an odour, you can neutralise it like this:

1. Mix equal amounts of vinegar and baking soda in a bowl of warm water.
2. Soak the silicone parts for 20–30 minutes.
3. After soaking, scrub well with a soft brush or sponge.
4. Rinse thoroughly under running water.
5. Boil the silicone parts for 5–10 minutes in clean water.
6. Leave them to dry fully before using or reassembling the product.

Additional recommendations

For daily washing, use a mild, neutral detergent and rinse thoroughly. Strong, perfumed detergents can leave an odour in the silicone, especially if the parts are soaked for a long time in detergent water.

After washing, always leave silicone straws, lids and attachments to dry completely. Moisture trapped in a straw, lid or joint can intensify unpleasant odours.
