Why does my reusable ice pack make lunch smell like plastic?
Our answer
Separate the silicone gasket, clean it with detergent and dry fully; replace a strongly odor-absorbing seal if it affects food.
Why this approach makes sense
Materials, cleaning instructions and equipment design vary. Pick a reversible approach that fits the exact surface or appliance.
Before you try it
Check the model instructions and test on a small area before committing to a permanent change.
