How can I get the smell and colour out of a silicone spatula?

Question

I used it with spaghetti sauce and it now smells like tomatoes. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Answer 1

I soak my spatulas in Bleach. Simply mix bleach with warm water to cover the spatula. Let soak for as long as it take for the stain to disappear. It works every time. After the stain is gone, simply wash with dish detergent and hot water, and rinse well.

Answer 2

Put a 1/4 cup of bleach and one cup water in a container and soak the spatula for a few minutes in it.

Answer 3

RETURN IT! Silicone utensils are not supposed to stain or harbor odors. That is one of the things that makes them so awesome.

You probably paid a bit for these over regular utensils, they tend to be higher end even in budget stores. You might as well hold them accountable for their claims...and get your money back, replace with same, or replace with something else.
