Quick answer: Silicone trays sometimes retain odors from food, detergent, or freezer storage, which can transfer to the next batch of ice.
What to know
Wash with warm water and a mild fragrance-free dish soap, rinse thoroughly, and air-dry completely. Check the manufacturer’s instructions before using a dishwasher or heat treatment.
Practical tips
Store trays away from uncovered strong-smelling foods. Replace any tray that remains damaged, sticky, or persistently foul-smelling.
