Silicone rings are popular for a reason. They’re durable, work well for those in a variety of careers and lifestyles and they stay on trend. However, a silicone ring can only be as durable as it is clean — and, yes, your silicone ring can get dirty. Here’s how to clean it! How to Tell if Your Ring Needs to Be Cleaned While our silicone rings do not absorb any chemicals or smells, surface contact between your ring, the chemicals and your skin can cause a rash. While you might at first think you’re allergic to silicone, it’s important to take note of any prior contact with harsh chemicals and skin irritants prior to coming to the conclusion that you’re allergic to silicone. Many times, your ring just needs to be cleaned, and doing so is very simple! If your ring needs to be cleaned, you might also notice that there are small specks of dirt and grime buildup on the edges of your ring. This is a big indicator that your ring needs to be cleaned, but it doesn’t take much to get your ring back into tip-top shape. How to Clean Your Silicone Ring Cleaning your silicone ring is as easy as a few simple steps! You have a few options, and any are perfectly capable of getting your ring looking fresh and clean. Put it in the dishwasher. Putting your silicone ring in the dishwasher is one of the fastest and most efficient ways to clean your ring. Simply put it in the cutlery holder of your dishwasher and let the machine do the rest. This option is perfect for when you need to wash multiple rings at once, such as our stackable silicone rings. While washing your rings by hand is certainly an option, many couples have found that washing your rings in the dishwasher is simply the easier option. Stackable Silicone Rings Pair Beautifully with an Engagement Ring Washing by hand. Washing by hand is great for when you need to wash your ring quickly but thoroughly. Simply fill a small bowl with warm, soapy water and dip your ring into the water a few times. If you have 15 minutes, let your rings soak in the warm water. If your ring has recently been in contact with harsh chemicals longer than a few seconds, then you’ll definitely want to soak it to be sure that all the chemicals get soaked out of your ring. After letting the ring soak for a bit, you can either rinse it under running water or use a toothbrush to scrub off any leftover grime. This is especially if you haven’t washed your ring in months and there’s a lot of buildup on your ring from sweat and bacteria. Even though our rings won’t get destroyed from a little sweat, too much of anything is a bad thing. Your dead skin cells can clump together and rest on your silicone band, causing it to smell or have a filmy texture from the oils on your skin. Wiping with a damp cloth or paper towel. For quick cleans or for those who frequently clean their silicone rings, sometimes wiping your ring down with a damp cloth or paper towel is all your ring needs to keep it in tip-top shape. Of course, if you typically do heavy lifting for your workouts or your hands are constantly coming into contact with motor oil or other chemicals, it’s important to do a daily wipe down of your silicone ring to ensure it stays in great form and then do a bi-weekly soak to get all the other chemicals and buildup off. However, those who wipe their rings once a day don’t have to worry as much about potentially warping or ruining their silicone rings. Silicone is a durable material, after all!
