Bamboo baby plates with suction care

Bamboo baby plates are environmentally friendly and safe for babies. 

The plates are predominantly made from bamboo plants and do not contain artificial chemicals as plastic products do. 

The bamboo plates are durable, reusable and biodegradable. 

They are made from bamboo plants which are fast-growing and sustainable. 

Let’s dive in and find out how to take care of them.

 

Buy bamboo baby plates with suctions

The suctions are a great feature of the bamboo plates because the ‘cute little hands’ will not remove them from the table. 

They are firm on flat surfaces and can withstand the forces exerted on them. 

You can buy eco-friendly baby plates online or in-store. 

Here are some UK-leading sustainable product shops. The plates are fitted with silicone suction rings. Perfect for babies.

How to wash bamboo baby plates?

Handwashing bamboo plates in warm soapy water is the best way to clean them. 

Some parents tend to use vinegar or lemon instead of dishwashing liquid which is perfectly fine. 

Before washing, remove the silicone ring suctions and soak all the parts in warm soapy (lemon or vinegar) water. 

Wash and dry immediately as water will find its way through the bamboo fibres if left to soak for hours. This can cause cracks and splits.

Ensure that the storage area is dry and free of dust and dampness.

Some bamboo-based products are clearly indicated to be hand-wash only and not suitable for the dishwasher or microwave. Please read the item description prior to buying it.

Bamboo plates do not like hot water

The bamboo products are generally tough, but they will not last long if washed in hot water. 

Hot water can cause the bamboo plates to expand, crack and eventually split, damaging the plates completely. 

Therefore, it is better to always wash the plates in lukewarm water. (See below for more info on how to safely wash the plates)

Are baby bamboo plates dishwasher and microwave safe?

Generally, not all but some baby bamboo plates and other bamboo-based products can tolerate dishwasher and microwave temperatures up to 100 degrees Celsius.

Wash the baby bamboo plates and bamboo sets in warm soapy water, even though some bamboo-based products are dishwasher and microwave safe. 

Also, please avoid putting the baby plates in boiling water, oven and microwave oven. 

This will keep the plates in an immaculate condition and will also last longer.

How to clean bamboo baby plates?

Most bamboo baby plates are not dishwasher friendly. So wash immediately after use. 

Here are the steps for cleaning the baby plates.

• Remove the silicone suctions.
• Soak in soapy warm water for 5 minutes (use lemon juice or vinegar).
• Wash with the soft side of the sponge or cloth
• Rinse in warm water.
• Drain and dry immediately with a clean cloth.
• Keep in dry and well-aerated storage.

Avoid cracks and splits in bamboo baby plates

Bamboo baby plates are durable, they can last for 2 years or more. 

However, the common concerns of using bamboo products are the cracks and splits.

The use of silicone suctions stops bamboo plates from being knocked off the table.

Also, bamboo cracks and splits often happen when the bamboo products are washed with boiling hot water or soaked for too long. 

So, taking care of bamboo products is to the parents and caregivers. The hints will help you to look after the bamboo baby products.
