Why have my silicone handles become 'sticky'?
Silicone and rubberized handles can become sticky over time when grease and other oils are absorbed into the handle surface. This can leave a residue that feels sticky to the touch, even after regular washing.
We recommend the following tips to help remove the sticky residue:
1. Wash the handle thoroughly with a grease-cutting liquid dish soap and warm water.
2. Dry the handle completely, then use rubbing alcohol and a clean cloth to gently wipe down its surface.
3. If the sticky feeling persists, mix together baking soda and water to create a thick paste that is about the same consistency as toothpaste. Rub the paste over the surface of the handle with a cloth, then rinse clean.
If the handle of your cookware still feels sticky after following the steps above, please contact our Consumer Relations department for further assistance by calling 800-888-3883. Our agents will be happy to assist you Monday through Friday, 7:30 am – 4:00 pm Pacific Time, excluding holidays.
