How to Deal with Grease on Silicone Plate

Silicone baby plates have become a staple in many families because they are safe, durable, and eco-friendly. However, one common concern is that silicone plates often “hang with oil” — meaning they retain a greasy film even after cleaning. At LYA Silicone, we specialize in manufacturing silicone baby products, and we want to share why this happens, what risks it can bring, and how to deal with grease on silicone plates.

1. Why Do Silicone Plates Hang with Oil?

Silicone has a unique structure with tiny molecular gaps that can easily hold onto oil molecules. Foods rich in fat, such as meat, cheese, or fried snacks, leave residues that may remain even after washing. Over time, this can make the plate appear less clean.

This phenomenon is natural and does not indicate poor quality. Even high-quality food grade silicone can retain grease due to its material properties.

2. What Are the Hazards of Not Properly Handling the Grease?

Ignoring grease on silicone plates may lead to several problems:

Bacterial growth, as leftover oil can trap dirt and germs
Unpleasant odors, which affect appetite and dining experience
Dull or cloudy surface, making the plate look old
Reduced confidence from parents who expect clean, safe baby products

3. How to Deal with the Grease on the Baby’s Silicone Plate

There are effective and safe ways to remove grease from silicone plates:

Soak in hot water with mild detergent to loosen oil.
Use a paste of baking soda and water to scrub gently.
Rinse with vinegar water to remove odor and restore freshness.
Air dry completely to prevent bacteria growth.
