In recent years, with the improvement of the quality of life, people have higher requirements for the details of life. As one of the essential household appliances in every household, the refrigerator's functionality and aesthetics have been concerned by people. As a new type of refrigerator storage tool, silicone ice box is loved by people because of its unique characteristics. However, in the process of using the silicone ice grid to make ice, some people found that the ice grid into the water will appear some white floating objects, which makes people wonder, what is this floating object? Is it harmful to the human body? Today, we will explore this topic in depth.

First, the cause of silica gel ice lattice white floating matter

1. Mineral salt in mineral water is extracted

As we know, mineral water is rich in mineral salts, such as calcium, magnesium, potassium and so on. When the silicone ice tray is put into the water to make ice, the mineral salt in the mineral water will gradually precipitate at low temperatures, forming a white float. To some extent, this phenomenon indicates that the water you use may contain a high mineral salt content.

2. Silicone ice grid quality problem

If the quality of silicone ice grid is not up to standard, some harmful substances may be released during use, such as plasticizers, heavy metals, etc. After these harmful substances are dissolved in water, they may also form white floaters. Therefore, when buying silicone ice grids, be sure to choose products with guaranteed quality and relevant certifications.

Second, the harm of silica gel ice lattice white float

1. Affect food hygiene

The refrigerator is used to store food, and if the white floating matter produced after the silicone ice tray is made of ice contains harmful substances, these substances are likely to contaminate other foods in the refrigerator, thereby affecting the dietary hygiene of family members.

2. It causes physical discomfort

If the white floater produced during the ice making process contains substances harmful to the human body, long-term consumption may cause physical discomfort and even lead to disease. For example, plasticizers have certain hazards to the reproductive system and endocrine system of the human body.

Third, how to avoid the production of silica gel ice grid white floaters

1. Choose a silicone ice tray with guaranteed quality

When buying silicone ice bars, be sure to choose products produced by regular manufacturers and certified. This can ensure the quality of the silicone ice box and avoid white floaters caused by quality problems.

2. Use pure water to make ice

If conditions permit, it is recommended to use pure water to make ice. The mineral content of pure water is lower, which can reduce the chance of white floaters.

3. Clean your refrigerator regularly

The refrigerator is a place where bacteria can easily breed in the family, so it is necessary to clean the refrigerator regularly to ensure a healthy environment inside the refrigerator. At the same time, for the silicone ice grid, it is also necessary to regularly clean to avoid breeding bacteria.

Summary: Silica gel ice grid ice water, there are some white floating objects is a normal phenomenon. However, this floating matter may be mineral salt out of mineral water, or it may be caused by the quality problem of silicone ice lattice. In order to avoid unnecessary risks, we recommend buying silicone ice bars with guaranteed quality, using purified water to make ice, and cleaning the refrigerator regularly. This ensures a healthy environment inside the refrigerator and avoids potential health risks caused by white floaters.
