There are many silicone rubber items, each with different effects. Generally speaking, the standard ones are safe, but strict chemicals can cause the rubber to crack, lose elasticity, or degrade. For some particularly dirty items, you can follow the steps below.

Silicone Product Cleaning:

1. Wash with soap and water. Fill a bucket with approximately 3.8 liters of warm water, add 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of soap solution, and stir the mixture with a clean hand or utensil, such as a wooden spoon, until the soap is evenly distributed and forms a complete foam.

2. Wipe the surface with a damp cloth. Remove any excess solution from the cloth and pour it into the bucket. Use a clean cloth to scrub the dirty rubber thoroughly; the cloth will absorb the dirt, then rinse. Remove the solution and foam distributed in the bucket, and avoid using abrasive cleaners and tools, as these can deform the surface of your rubber.

3. Rinse away any remaining solution on the surface of rubber items. Once resolved, wash off all soap from the rubber using water. The leftover solution can be used for other purposes or disposed of down the drain.

4. Allow silicone products to dry in the air. Choose a sunny day for drying as the sun will decompose the rubber over time. Avoid using direct heat to dry the rubber as it can also damage it. To speed up the drying process, in some cases, it may appear clean and moist, but the stickiness will remain when it dries. Wash away the remaining stickiness with soap and water, then use alcohol in the following steps.

5. Utilize alcohol. Although alcohol is an effective adhesive for various cleaning agents, you should only occasionally use this cleaning agent to wash rubber. In humid and wet areas, inhibit the use of alcohol-dampened cloths until they are removed, as alcohol can cause rubber to degrade faster than usual after cleaning.
