The methods for handling silicone mainly include cleaning, debonding, maintenance, etc. The following are some specific methods and steps:
1. Cleaning silicone
Warm water and detergent method:
Prepare a basin of warm water at about 30℃-40℃, add an appropriate amount of detergent and stir evenly.
Soak the silicone product in water for a few minutes, then gently wipe the surface of the silicone with a soft sponge or cloth to remove stains and dust.
For areas with gaps or difficult to clean, you can gently scrub with a soft-bristled toothbrush.
Finally, rinse with clean water, dry with a clean towel or let it dry naturally.
Soap water method:
Make a basin of soapy water with moderate concentration.
Soak the silicone product in soapy water for a while.
Gently rub the silicone product with your hands so that the soapy water fully contacts all parts.
For areas with heavy stains, you can rub it several times.
After rinsing with clean water, place it in a ventilated place to dry.
White vinegar method:
Mix white vinegar and water in a certain proportion (such as 1:2 or 1:3) to make a white vinegar solution.
Soak the silicone product in the solution for a while (such as 15-20 minutes). The acidity of white vinegar can decompose some stubborn stains.
After soaking, wipe the surface of the silicone with a soft cloth or sponge, then rinse with clean water and dry.
Toothpaste method:
Squeeze an appropriate amount of toothpaste on the surface of the silicone product.
Gently wipe with a soft cloth or toothbrush.
The abrasive in the toothpaste can help remove stains.
For areas with heavy stains, you can wipe it a little harder, but be careful not to scratch the surface of the silicone.
After rinsing with clean water, wipe or dry.
Neutral detergent method:
Soak the silicone product in warm water, and the water temperature should not be too high.
Add an appropriate amount of neutral detergent.
Gently wipe the surface with a soft cloth.
After cleaning, place it in a cool and ventilated place to dry naturally.
2. Remove the stickiness of silicone
Talcum powder method:
Apply talcum powder evenly on the surface of the silicone.
Wipe it clean with dry wipes or dry cloth.
Alcohol method:
Gently wipe the surface of the silicone with alcohol wipes or cotton pads.
Alcohol can remove sticky substances on the surface of silicone.
The surface of silicone will become dry after wiping.
Fume Cleaner Method:
Spray a little fume cleaner on the silicone.
Gently rub the silicone products.
Fume cleaner can remove the stickiness of silicone.
Be careful to wear gloves when operating to avoid hurting your hands.
