Quick answer
Hand wash your SiliPint with mild soap and warm water, or place it on the top rack of the dishwasher for easy care. The 100% food-grade silicone is microwave and freezer safe, but avoid direct flame and abrasive scrubbers.
Why proper care matters for silicone cups
Silicone is durable and flexible, but it can absorb odors or show stains from strongly colored drinks like coffee or berry smoothies if not rinsed promptly. The Kanga Care SiliPint Family Tree Arctic Swirl cup is made of BPA-free silicone that stays flexible and unbreakable, making it a great travel companion.
One trade-off: silicone's non-porous surface is easy to clean, but it may retain a faint soapy taste if not rinsed thoroughly. A quick vinegar rinse once a month helps neutralize any lingering smells.
SiliPint care FAQ
Can I put the SiliPint in the dishwasher?
Yes, place it on the top rack of the dishwasher. The silicone is heat-resistant and won't warp, but the top rack keeps it away from the heating element for extra safety.
What about the microwave and freezer?
The cup is both microwave and freezer safe, so you can reheat coffee or use it for frozen treats. Just remove the lid before microwaving and leave headspace if freezing liquids to allow for expansion.
How do I remove stains or odors?
For stubborn stains, make a paste of baking soda and water, rub gently with a soft sponge, and rinse. For odors, soak in a 1:1 vinegar-water solution for an hour, then wash with soapy water. Avoid bleach or abrasive scrubbers; they can damage the silicone surface over time.
Can I use the SiliPint for hot drinks?
Yes, it's microwave safe up to typical beverage temperatures. However, the silicone walls will get hot, so hold the cup by the bottom or use a sleeve for comfort.
Is the cup truly unbreakable?
The silicone material is highly durable and won't shatter like glass or crack like plastic, but it can be punctured by sharp objects. Avoid contact with knives or sharp utensils.
How should I store the cup?
Stack multiple SiliPints without lid to save space, or nest them with the lid on if you want to keep lint out. The flexible shape allows it to flatten slightly, which is handy for travel or compact storage.
