Cleaning sandwitch container water dishes with silicon too?

Post by LadyJinglyJones » Thu Sep 29, 2016 10:03 am

So I made SW & FW pools fer future crabbies, and they are covered in pebbles that I silicon-ed on. Suggestions as to cleaning them? I just realized that I don't know what chemicals will mess up silicon. It is 100%.

Can I just use boiled vinegar & a toothbrush??

For me, I just cleaned out my siliconed pools with a good scrub down in dechlorinated water. :) I sure everyone has their own way, but it was the best/easiest method for me. Vinegar could work, however I not sure that boiling would be necessary at all TBH. :) Just make sure you wash it out good!

I actually rinse mine out under the faucet... with a good scrub, dry them off, and back in they go. :)

I don't silicone my rocks, I prefer to "artfully" stack them. That way I can scrub away with a kitchen scrubber, bleach them if necessary, or pop them into the dishwasher. This includes the rocks and the containers.
