Food-grade silicone rubber sheets are widely used in food processing and kitchen equipment because of their safety, durability and easy-to-clean properties. However, regular maintenance and proper cleaning are essential to ensure that they maintain optimal performance for a long time.

First of all, regular cleaning is a basic step in maintaining food-grade silicone rubber sheets. Cleaning silicone rubber sheets with mild soapy water and a soft brush or sponge can effectively remove food residues and dirt on the surface. Avoid using strong acid or alkaline detergents, as these chemicals may damage the structure and performance of silicone rubber. After cleaning, be sure to rinse thoroughly with clean water to ensure that no detergent remains.

Secondly, the drying process is equally important. After cleaning, the silicone rubber sheet should be placed in a well-ventilated place to dry naturally, avoiding the use of high-temperature drying equipment or direct exposure to sunlight, which may cause aging and discoloration of the silicone rubber. If the silicone rubber sheet has too many wrinkles or deformations, it can be soaked in warm water for a few minutes and then carefully flattened.

In addition, to avoid scratches and other mechanical damage, it is recommended to use soft tools and equipment on the silicone rubber sheet. Try to avoid using sharp knives or hard objects when cutting or operating to reduce scratches and wear on the surface.

Finally, check the integrity of the silicone rubber sheet regularly to see if there are cracks, tears or other damage. If any damage is found, replace it in time to avoid affecting the safety of food and the use of the silicone rubber sheet.

Through these simple maintenance measures, the service life of the food-grade silicone rubber sheet can be extended and its good performance can be maintained, ensuring its safety and hygiene in food processing.
