Hello, did a Google search and found this. I took your advice and used the Lime Away. It worked great, but now I’m concerned that they may not be safe to use with food now. Do you know? Thank you.emiscookin said:It happens when customers put them in the dishwasher, no matter what soap you used. I noticed they got powder (turning them white) all over just after one wash! I had to soak them in Lime Away and that got the white out because soap and water wasn't doing it. NEVER AGAIN will I put those tools in the dishwasher! I would advise your customers not to do so either.
The white color on your basic nylon tools is most likely due to heat exposure. Nylon is a heat-sensitive material and can discolor when exposed to high temperatures, such as being left in a hot dishwasher or placed too close to a heat source.
Yes, you can still use your basic nylon tools even if they have turned white. The discoloration does not affect the functionality of the tools. However, if the discoloration bothers you, you can try using a nylon-safe cleaner or soaking the tools in a mixture of white vinegar and water to restore their original color.
To prevent your basic nylon tools from turning white, it is best to hand wash them with warm water and mild soap. Avoid using hot water or placing them in a dishwasher. Also, make sure to store them away from heat sources such as stovetops or ovens.
In addition to heat exposure, another possible reason for white discoloration on basic nylon tools is contact with acidic foods or ingredients. If you frequently use your tools for cooking or mixing acidic foods, it may cause the nylon material to change color.
Unfortunately, we cannot accept returns or exchanges for basic nylon tools that have turned white. The discoloration is a result of normal wear and tear and not a defect in the product. However, if you believe the discoloration is due to a manufacturing defect, please contact our customer service for assistance.
