Food-contact silicone molds should be cleaned and stored in a way that preserves both hygiene and mold geometry.
The correct method depends on:
- selected silicone material
- food residue
- operating temperature
- cleaning chemistry
- mold size
- support structure
- equipment/customer procedures
Do not apply one universal detergent, sanitizer, dishwasher or storage rule to every product.
