How To Tell If Your Silicone Ring Needs Cleaning?

The most obvious sign your silicone ring needs cleaning is if it shows any kind of discoloration or buildup. Dirt, oils, and other debris can accumulate on your silicone ring and give it a dull, dingy look, so keep an eye out for that. You can check the inside and outside of your ring.

The next sign that says you need to clean your silicone ring is when you start noticing an odor coming from your ring. It may also feel less comfortable when worn or not the same as when you first got it, and in that case, it’ll need cleaning, too.

Basically, if your ring isn’t the same color as before or has some sort of odor, you should consider cleaning it.

How To Clean Your Silicone Ring?

Keeping your silicone ring in pristine condition is a breeze with these three tried-and-true methods: dishwasher, hand washing, or a quick wipe with a damp cloth. Simply pick the one that suits your convenience. If you're on the hunt for a silicone ring that can withstand daily cleaning, SA has a range of durable and stylish options.

Place It In The Dishwasher

If your ring is particularly dirty or has been exposed to a lot of dirt and grime, you can clean it using the dishwasher. This easily lets you get rid of built-up debris and oil. As long as your ring is not already damaged, this option is convenient. 

To clean your silicone ring in the dishwasher, empty your dishwasher and remove all dishes. Then, place your silicone ring in the top rack of the dishwasher and set it to the lowest setting. Using the lowest setting prevents ring damage, and once the cycle is complete, take the ring and let it air dry.

Hand Washing

Another method of cleaning silicone rings without damaging them is handwashing. If you have some time on your hands, you can easily handwash your silicone ring using a small bowl, warm water, and mild soap. 

All you need to do is fill a bowl with warm water, add a few drops of mild soap, and submerge the ring so it soaks there for a few minutes. After that, you can take the ring out and gently scrub it with a warm cloth. Once done, you can rinse the ring with clean water and let it air dry.

Remember to wash your hands before and after cleaning your ring! Also, avoid touching your face and other objects. 

Wiping With A Moist Cloth Or Paper Towel

Want an alternative way to hand washing your silicone ring? Clean your silicone ring with a paper towel or moist cloth. You don’t have to soak your ring using this method, but you’ll be more hands-on with removing dirt.

To clean your ring this way, you need a soft, damp cloth or paper towel and some mild soap. Lightly dampen the cloth or paper towel with warm water and add a few drops of mild soap. Then, gently wipe the ring with the damp cloth or paper towel and get into all the crevices and grooves. 

If the ring is very dirty, you can use a soft-bristled toothbrush to scrub stubborn dirt. You can rinse the ring with warm water and then dry it with a clean, dry cloth or paper towel if you think you got all the dirt out. However, remember not to use too much soap or scrub too hard! This could damage the silicone.

 

Make Sure You Practice Good Hygiene

If you want your silicone ring to last, make sure to practice good hygiene! Start with the basics: clean your hands before wearing your silicone ring, and always be mindful of where you put your ring.

If you just store your ring everywhere, you can’t expect it to stay clean! Store your ring in a clean container free of debris and other materials to lessen the chances of dirt sticking to it. You should also pick a cool and dry place to store your ring in.

Additionally, note that water and soap can cause damage over time. Soap, especially the stronger varieties, can leave a residue on the silicone that can cause discoloration, and discoloration can be difficult to remove.
