Quick Answer
Hand wash your OKC Comets silicone drinkware with mild soap and warm water, then air dry completely before storing. Avoid dishwashers, bleach, and abrasive scrubbers to prevent damage.
Why Silicone Needs Special Care
Silicone is flexible and durable, but it can absorb odors and stains if not cleaned properly. The OKC Comets Silicone Shot Glass Icicle and Silicone Road Pint Glass are made for repeated use, but harsh detergents or high heat can degrade the material over time.
Because silicone is non-porous, it resists bacteria better than plastic or glass, but it also means oils and residue can cling to the surface if you don't rinse thoroughly. A quick rinse after each use prevents buildup.
Step-by-Step Care Routine
- Rinse Immediately After Use: Pour out any remaining liquid and rinse the glass with warm water. This prevents residue from drying and sticking to the silicone. For the shot glass, use your finger or a soft brush to reach the bottom of the icicle shape. Don't let sticky drinks sit; a quick rinse saves scrubbing later.
- Hand Wash with Mild Soap: Fill a sink or bowl with warm water and a few drops of mild dish soap. Submerge the drinkware and gently scrub the inside and outside with a soft sponge or cloth. Avoid abrasive pads, steel wool, or bleach-based cleaners, as they can scratch or discolor the silicone. Check for hidden spots inside the shot glass icicle where soap might linger.
- Rinse Thoroughly and Air Dry: Rinse all soap off with warm water. Shake out excess water and place the drinkware upside down on a clean dish rack or towel. Let it air dry completely before storing. Do not use a dishwasher or microwave, as high heat can warp or weaken silicone over time. Make sure the interior is fully dry to avoid musty odors, especially in the shot glass.
