Troubleshooting
Stains on the silicone
For stubborn stains, particularly from tomato-based sauces or turmeric, try soaking the spatula in a mixture of baking soda and water for a few hours, or wash with a mild bleach solution (ensure thorough rinsing afterward).
Spatula feels too flexible for a task
This spatula is designed for flexibility to aid in detailed work. For tasks requiring a stiffer tool, consider a larger or more rigid spatula.
Silicone has a faint odor
Wash thoroughly with warm, soapy water. If the odor persists, a soak in vinegar and water solution can help neutralize smells. Ensure it is rinsed very well.
