Mold in silicone

Silicone is a unique material that has a feel that is similar to plastic. Silicone is strong, safe for food, easy to clean, and forms the perfect medium for a number of different household items from baking mats to cooking utensils. But the weird thing is that if we do not maintain our silicone products properly, it can give place for mold to grow. Fungi, and mold in particular, are the most common indoor species that also affects health. In this article, we are going to show you how to identify mold, avoid them from growing, as well as the reason why, using a moldy silicone can be harmful. You'll also learn how to properly clean silicone to keep it right. Mold, which most often comes in the form of black, green, and white patches, can have a surface to propagate on almost all types of materials, including silicone. Mold loves warm and wet environment which is exactly why silicone kitchen items are very prone to mold. Look for discoloration or fuzzy patches for mold growing on your silicone. It is important to take immediate action when you notice any signs of the outbreak, so it does not harm the home.


How to Identify and Prevent Mold Growth in Silicone

The easiest way to mold-proof your silicone is by maintaining cleanliness and dryness. Your silicone products should be washed after each use with warm, soapy water. So, make sure you scrub the heck out of them until there is no food particles of residue. It is essential to dry them completely after washing before putting them. If you keep silicone items in wet territory, whether in the sink or dishwasher, the dampness promotes mold growing. So, it is also best practice to inspect your silicone products frequently for any trace of mold, and when one appears, consider tossing that baby out if it looks too moldy or damaged. Your kitchen is one of the most important places in your house. The kitchen is where you prepare and eat your meals, thus it is a very important area in your home and needs much sanitation for everyone. If your kitchen contains silicone that got moldy, you could get sick. This can release tiny spores and chemicals that can trigger allergic reactions, breathing problems, and other health issues. That is why you should take care of your kitchen products.
