With the acceleration of people's pace of life, convenient and fast silicone folding cups have become the heart of many consumers. However, many consumers in the process of use have encountered the problem of silicone folding cups emitting odor, which is troubling. So where do these odors come from? How do we deal with it effectively? Today, let's explore this hot topic.
First, the source of the odor of the silicone folding cup

Silicone folding cups need to use some chemicals in the production process, such as vulcanizing agents, catalysts, etc. If the production process is not perfect, these chemicals may remain in the product, and then volatilize when in contact with water, causing odor.
2. Quality problems cause odors
In order to reduce costs, some low-cost silicone folding cups use lower-quality raw materials, which may contain excessive impurities, resulting in odors during use.
Second, how to remove the odor of silicone folding cups
1. Wash thoroughly
After purchasing the silicone folding cup, it should be thoroughly cleaned first. You can use hot water to add an appropriate amount of dishwashing liquid, soak the cup for a period of time, wash it, and then put it in the boiling water to iron it to ensure that the cup is clean inside and outside.
2. Sun disinfection
The cleaned silicone folding cup is exposed to the sun, and the ultraviolet rays in the sun have a disinfection effect, which can effectively eliminate the odor in the cup.
3. Use activated charcoal
Put the activated carbon into a silicone folding cup, pour in a small amount of hot water, soak for a while, and then pour out. Activated carbon has good adsorption properties and can effectively remove the odor in the cup.

Pour in a small amount of vinegar, let the vinegar react with the odorous substances in the cup, and then rinse with water. The acetic acid in vinegar can neutralize odorous substances and achieve the effect of deodorization.
