Simple Steps to Keep Your Containers Looking Like New

Let’s be honest—life’s busy enough without struggling to clean up after meals. Whether it’s leftover spaghetti sauce or sticky toddler snacks, silicone containers can take a beating. The good news? Cleaning Dreamroo containers is easy—and with a little care, they’ll stay fresh and functional for years.

🧼 1. Dishwasher Safe (Yes, Really!)

The easiest option? Just toss them on the top rack of your dishwasher.
Dreamroo containers are made from premium food-grade silicone that can handle the heat, pressure, and detergent of your typical wash cycle—no warping, no fading, no weird smells.


Pro Tip: Place lids in the utensil basket or secure them so they don’t flip and trap water.

🧽 2. Hand Wash for Quick Cleanups

For a quick rinse, warm water and mild dish soap do the trick. Use a soft sponge or cloth—no abrasive scrubbers needed. Silicone naturally resists odors and stains, so cleanup is usually a breeze.


🍅 3. Dealing with Stubborn Stains or Odors?

Sometimes, tomato sauce or curry can leave behind a tint or smell. Here’s how to fix it:

  • Baking Soda Paste: Mix baking soda with a splash of water, spread it over the stained area, and let it sit for 15–20 minutes. Rinse clean.
  • Lemon Juice + Sunlight: Rub with lemon juice and let the container sit in direct sunlight for a few hours. It naturally fades discoloration and freshens the silicone.

💨 4. Let Them Air Dry

Silicone dries quickly, but it’s best to leave lids off until fully dry to avoid trapped moisture. Store them in a cool, dry place so they’re ready when you are.

💚 Built to Last, Easy to Love

Dreamroo containers are designed to simplify your day—from prepping and storing to serving and cleaning. With a little love, they’ll stay stain-free, odor-free, and endlessly reusable.
