How can I stop food colours staining silicone spatulas without damaging them?

Our answer

Wash promptly and use only material-approved cleaning; permanent pigment staining can be cosmetic rather than unsafe.

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.
