The best way to remove Silly Putty from silicone trivets is to freeze the trivet for a few hours. Once the Silly Putty is frozen, it will become brittle and can be easily scraped off with a plastic spatula or your fingernail.
Using heat is not recommended as it can cause the Silly Putty to melt and spread further into the silicone. Instead, freezing is a more effective method for removal without damaging the trivet.
Yes, you can use rubbing alcohol or a mixture of dish soap and warm water to help break down any remaining residue after scraping off the bulk of the Silly Putty. Apply the solution with a soft cloth and gently scrub the area.
If done carefully, removing Silly Putty should not damage your silicone trivet. Avoid using sharp objects that could cut or tear the silicone, and opt for gentle scraping methods instead.
If there is a stain left after removing the Silly Putty, try cleaning the area with a paste made from baking soda and water. Apply it to the stain, let it sit for a few minutes, and then scrub gently with a soft cloth before rinsing thoroughly.
