So, got this silicon bakingmat and its amazing - does the job well. However its well used and I'd like to see it better cleaned than its current state, e.g. not brown. Tried the washing machine and manual cleaning with different sops and brushes. Is there a secret sauce to clean this kinda mat?
Appriciate any tips or recommendations.
If the silicone is oozing, i e. feels oily no matter how much you wash it, make a thick slurry of baking soda and water. Scrub with a gentle brush and the slurry. Allow the slurry to dry, and rinse with very warm water. Wash with basic soap or dish detergent.
If your stains are just polymerized lipids, soak for an hour in boiling water with dish soap and washing soda (sodium carbonate). Silicone isn't completely inert, so you may have some staining.
That said, these methods worked in my galley for my silicone kitchenware.
Thanks for the reply, ill do my best see how it works out!
