How to Clean Your Full Strength Ice Pop Molds

Quick answer

Hand wash your Full Strength Ice Pop Molds with warm, soapy water after each use to prevent coffee oils from building up and staining the silicone.

Step-by-step cleaning guide

1. Rinse immediately after unmolding: As soon as you remove the popsicles, rinse each mold cavity with warm water to loosen any remaining coffee. Do not let the mold sit with dried coffee residue. Coffee dries fast on silicone; a quick rinse prevents staining.
2. Wash with mild soap and a soft sponge: Fill a sink or bowl with warm water and a drop of mild dish soap. Use a soft sponge or cloth to gently scrub each cavity. Avoid abrasive scrubbers—they can scratch the silicone and create hiding spots for bacteria. A soft sponge is all you need; scratches reduce the mold's non-stick quality.
3. Rinse and air dry completely: Rinse each cavity thoroughly under running water to remove all soap. Shake off excess water and place the mold upside down on a drying rack. Make sure it's fully dry before storing to prevent mold growth. Trapped moisture can lead to mildew; store only when bone-dry.
