Silicone itself does not harbor bacteria. Because silica gel is an inorganic material with stable chemical properties and does not contain any organic matter, it does not have the conditions for bacterial growth and reproduction.
In addition, silica gel has hygroscopic and dry properties, which can absorb moisture in the air and reduce the humidity of the surrounding environment, thereby reducing the environment for bacterial growth. Therefore, under normal circumstances, silica gel does not breed bacteria. However, if the silicone is used for a long time or stored in a humid environment, it may absorb bacteria, so it still needs to be replaced or cleaned regularly.
Silicone itself will not breed bacteria, but silicone toys used for a long time, will breed a lot of harmful bacteria.
Silicone is non-toxic and tasteless, and the reason for the growth of bacteria in silicone toys may be that the daily cleaning is not clean, or the silicone toys and the lid are washed with water to cause the silicone toys to mold and breed bacteria.
Silicone toys have been used for a long time, breeding bacteria, and you can choose the right antibacterial material to combine with silicone toys to antibacterial silicone toys.
