Tips for Cleaning Oven Mitts

Oven mitts are vital for kitchen safety, but they can accumulate grime and bacteria. Here’s how to keep them clean and functional:

• Read the Care Label: Always check the manufacturer’s instructions before cleaning to avoid damaging the material.
• Machine Wash: Wash fabric mitts in the washing machine with similar colours on a gentle cycle.
• Spot Clean: For small stains, use a damp cloth with soap to spot clean the area, avoiding soaking if the mitt is not fully washable.
• Baking Soda for Odours: Sprinkle baking soda inside the mitts, let it sit for a few hours, and then shake it out to remove odours.
• Air Dry: Lay the mitts flat or hang them to air dry completely before the next use to prevent mildew.
• Regular Cleaning: Clean mitts regularly to prevent the buildup of food particles and grease, which can cause a fire hazard.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Use mild detergents and avoid bleach, which can degrade fabric and affect heat resistance.

FAQ on Oven Mitts

What materials are your oven mitts made from?

They are crafted from a variety of materials, including cotton, silicone, and neoprene, each offering different levels of heat resistance and comfort.

How much heat can they withstand?

The heat resistance varies by material, with some designs capable of withstanding temperatures up to 250°C (482°F). Please refer to the specific product details for exact ratings.

What is the smallest number of oven mitts I can order?

The minimum quantity we can supply is 50.

What is the difference between oven mitts and pot holders?

Oven mitts are mitten-shaped and offer full coverage of the hand and wrist. Potholders, on the other hand, are smaller in size. This is because they were originally designed to grip the handles on pots only. In addition, potholders generally come in the shape of square, rectangular or round, thus offering less skin coverage on the hand, making it easier to grab when you're in a hurry.

Can you make them in custom shapes?

Yes, with large enough orders, we can make oven mitts and pot holders in unique shapes to suit your marketing campaign. Production times and costs will vary depending on exactly what you're after so please speak to our customer care team for more information.
