PLATINUM SILICONE

• silicone is extremely durable, easy to care for and safe to use
• during creation, silicone can be "cured" with two types of curing agents
• bumkins uses the best one - platinum, when cured with platinum, there are no by products created, and the silicone's already fabulous qualities are amplified

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

• wash before use
• for best results, hand wash with natural unscented dish soap as some scented washing products may leave a residue odor or taste in the silicone items
• do not use abrasive cleaners
• do not use with sharp objects

REMOVING ODOUR FROM SILICONE

• they have found a few procedures that have been successful at removing the unwanted odours or tastes and refresh the silicone to stick better in the case of hard water or soap buildup

• try using a rinse agent in your dishwasher to reduce mineral build up
• submerge the item in a mixture of boiling hot water and white vinegar using the ratio of 1 cup of vinegar for every two cups of hot water, soak for 30 minutes and then scrub with a gentle cleaning sponge
  
• white vinegar is used to reduce mineral build up from hard water and can be used regularly without harming the dish
• coat the dish with a mixture of white vinegar and baking soda using the ratio of 1 tbsp of white vinegar to 2 tbsp of baking soda
• allow the coated dish to sit overnight
