The color-changing silicone products will change color when temperatures reach 100 degrees fahrenheit. This might sound hot, but the FDA recommends that the internal temperature of hot foods be at 140 degrees fahrenheit. 

Although the color-change begins at 100 degrees, there may be certain external factors such as weather, temperature changes and other factors that may differ from customer to customer. 

Never rely on the color-change as a thermometer to test food. Always use your best parental judgment on if foods are the appropriate temperature to serve to your little ones.

All color-changing silicone products are microwave safe. The bib, bowl and plate are also dishwasher safe, but handwashing is recommended as frequent exposure to heat may weaken the pigment. Handwashing only is recommended for the spork and spoon to avoid tarnishing the beech wood handles. 

Color-changing products should avoid exposure to UV rays as they will make the color of the silicone unstable. Frequent exposure to sunlight will cause the products to lose their color-changing effect.

The bib has 4 different slots to allow up to 8 different adjustments in size!

The spoon and spork should be hand washed to avoid tarnishing of the beechwood handles.

The results of the suction may vary depending on the type of surface that you’re using. The best surfaces for good suction are glass, granite, marble or plastic. Surfaces with texture such as wood or matte plastic can cause the suction to work less effectively. 

You can also try applying a small drop of water under the suction cup before pressing down, which eliminates extra gas and creates a tighter seal.

Each Paperclip feeding product comes with a reusable snack stash bag that can be repurposed for snacks, toys or other essentials. While the silicone products are dishwasher and microwave safe, the snack stash bags arenot. These bags should be hand washed with a gentle soap and air dried after each use.

Strong dish detergents and soaps are often absorbed into silicone and can affect the taste of whatever you are storing. Using a detergent with a neutral pH will help prevent this problem from happening. Stay away from strong dish soaps like ones that have essential oils in them.

To get rid of any unwanted tastes or smells, we’d suggest the following care routine: 

• Dampen your silicone product with water and scrub a generous amount of baking soda onto the product to form a paste.
• Leave the paste to dry for a few hours.
• Rinse the product with hot water.
