How often should baby silicone tableware be replaced?

During the growth of babies, safe and hygienic eating utensils are essential. Silicone tableware has become the first choice of many mothers because of its softness, drop resistance, high temperature resistance, and easy cleaning. But many parents are confused: How often do baby's silicone tableware need to be replaced? How to judge whether it needs to be replaced? Today, we will answer these questions in detail and provide scientific maintenance suggestions to help you choose safer and more durable tableware for your baby.

1. Professional advice: Scientific replacement cycle of baby silicone tableware
Through long-term tracking tests, the Dibo Silicone R&D Center found that the service life of high-quality silicone tableware mainly depends on three key factors:
Material grade: Ordinary silicone tableware is recommended to be replaced every 1-1.5 years, while tableware produced by Dibo using medical-grade silicone raw materials can be used for 2-3 years.
Frequency of use: For tableware used more than 3 times a day, it is recommended to replace it within 1 year; occasional users can extend it to 2 years.
Disinfection method: The service life of tableware disinfected with high-temperature steam (>100℃) will be shortened by 30% compared with that of tableware cleaned at room temperature.
Dibo Silicone Special Reminder: Even if the tableware with a good appearance is in good condition, its physical properties and safety performance will be significantly reduced after 2 years of use. It is recommended to replace it in time.
2. Four major replacement signals: Dibo silicone professional identification guide
1. Changes in physical properties:
Rebound elasticity decreases (Dibo laboratory test standard: after stretching, the rebound rate <80% needs to be replaced)
Cracks or obvious scratches appear on the surface
Suction cup adsorption force decreases by more than 30%
2. Changes in chemical properties:
Color changes by more than 20% (Dibo uses a professional colorimeter for testing)
The appearance of difficult-to-remove odors
The surface is sticky or precipitates
3. Changes in hygienic properties:
After repeated cleaning, there are still obvious stains remaining
Mold spots or excessive colonies appear (Dibo recommends microbial testing every quarter)
4. Functional changes:
Deformation of tableware affects normal use
Degradation of sealing performance leads to leakage
3. Five quality assurance technologies of Dibo silicone
1. Raw material selection:
Use medical-grade silicone raw materials imported from Germany, pass FDA, LFGB and other international certifications to ensure raw material safety.
2. Process innovation:
The original "triple vulcanization" process increases the durability of the product by 50% and extends the service life to twice that of ordinary products.
3. Antibacterial treatment:
Silver ion antibacterial layer is implanted on the surface, with an antibacterial rate of up to 99.9%, effectively preventing bacterial growth.
4. Temperature resistance test:
Passed 200℃ high temperature test to ensure that repeated high temperature disinfection will not deform or release harmful substances.
5. Safety testing:
Each batch of products undergoes strict physical, chemical and microbial testing.
IV. Dibo professional advice on extending service life
1. Cleaning and maintenance:
Wash with warm water immediately after use
Deep clean with edible baking soda once a week
Avoid using chlorine-containing disinfectants
2. Disinfection method:
Ultraviolet disinfection is preferred (least damage to silicone)
Steam disinfection is controlled within 100℃
Boiling disinfection does not exceed 5 minutes
3. Storage method:
Dry thoroughly after cleaning
Avoid deformation caused by stacking
Store in a ventilated and dry place
V. Dibo silicone after-sales service commitment
1. Quality tracking:
Provide 2 years of quality tracking service, and regularly remind inspection and replacement.
2. Professional consultation:
24-hour expert hotline to answer various questions during use.
3. Exchange old for new:
Introducing the "Healthy Exchange" plan, old tableware can be deducted from the cost of new tableware.
4. Testing service:
Provide free tableware safety testing for VIP customers.
It is recommended to replace baby's silicone tableware every 1-2 years, but if cracks, hardening, odor absorption, etc. occur, they should be stopped immediately. Proper cleaning, avoiding high temperature exposure, and regular inspection can effectively extend the life of tableware.
When purchasing, look for food-grade certification, and give priority to platinum vulcanized silicone materials to ensure safer baby meals! I hope this guide can help parents take care of their baby's tableware scientifically, so that every meal can be worry-free!
