I used my Easy Adjustable Measuring Spoon for chili powder the other day and then I put it in the dishwasher. Even after washing, there is a slight orange discoloration around the edge of the gray silicone seal. I tried soaking it in vinegar and handwashing it, but it's still there. Does anyone have any suggestions to help me get this off? I would feel bad using it to demonstrate with at shows with a stained appearance. Thanks!

No ideas anyone?
 
Have you tried plastic booster, it's sold with the dish washer detergent. I think there is a way to soak it in just that with some water. Read the back of the bottle for help.
