Quick answer
Wash the Extra Tray Liner by hand or in the dishwasher using warm, soapy water. Avoid abrasive scrubbers to prevent scratches.
Why regular cleaning matters
The Tray Liner catches spills and crumbs directly, so it sees the most mess during meals. If you skip cleaning, dried-on food can stick and become harder to remove. A quick rinse after each use keeps it ready for the next feeding.
Dishwasher vs. hand washing
Both methods work well, but the dishwasher is more convenient for busy parents. Place the liner on the top rack to avoid warping from high heat. Hand washing gives you more control over scrubbing stubborn spots.
Step-by-step cleaning guide
- 1. Remove the liner from the tray: Lift the Tray Liner off the High Chair tray. It snaps on and off without tools. A common mistake is leaving the liner on the tray while wiping; removing it lets you clean both surfaces thoroughly.
- 2. Rinse loose food off the liner: Hold the liner under warm running water to wash away crumbs and residue. Use your fingers or a soft sponge. Avoid using a metal scrubber—it can leave scratches that trap bacteria.
- 3. Apply mild dish soap and scrub gently: Add a drop of mild dish soap to a soft sponge or cloth. Scrub the entire liner surface, focusing on corners where food sticks. If you use the dishwasher, place the liner on the top rack and skip the heated dry cycle to prevent warping.
- 4. Rinse thoroughly with clean water: Rinse the liner under warm water until all soap suds are gone. Residual soap can leave a film that affects taste. Check the underside of the liner—food can hide in the crevices that sit against the tray.
- 5. Air dry completely before storing: Set the liner on a dish rack or clean towel to air dry. Do not stack it with other dishes until it's fully dry. Storing a damp liner can lead to mildew. If you're in a hurry, pat it dry with a lint-free cloth.
