Each type of oven mitt is designed to meet a specific need and is characterised by its functionality while increasing safety in the kitchen. Silicone oven mitts are popular for their high heat resistance and flexibility. These gloves are also known for their waterproof properties and can be easily cleaned. The silicone material provides a secure grip thanks to its non-slip structure, which provides a safer working environment in the kitchen.

How to clean oven mitts?
Cleaning oven mitts is as important as using them. Start by wiping the inner and outer surface of the glove with a clean cloth after use. It is recommended to do this regularly to avoid permanent stains. Especially tea towels can be very useful in this process.
There are some tricks you should pay attention to during the cleaning process. For example, materials such as silicone oven mitts can be easily cleaned using hot water and soap. Since these gloves are resistant to high temperatures, they are sensitive to cleaning with hot water and no deformation of the material structure occurs.
Another important issue is the cleaning of the inside of the glove. This part, which is often overlooked, can cause bacteria and bad odour formation over time. For this reason, it is important to wipe the inside of the glove with a clean cloth and a gentle cleaning product at regular intervals, both for hygiene and to extend the life of the glove.
It is also important to determine the temperature during the washing process. Generally, while fabric and cotton blended gloves are washed at low temperatures, it will be effective to soak the glove in detergent water for a while for deep cleaning. In this way, permanent stains and oil residues are completely removed. However, it should be noted here that the glove should not be kept in boiling water because this may disrupt the structure of the glove.
On the other hand, when cleaning models such as thick oven mitts and long oven mitts, the inner filling material should also be considered. It should be ensured that the padding materials used in such gloves will not absorb water and should therefore be cleaned at lower temperatures and in more delicate washing programmes.
After washing your gloves, drying is another important step to be considered. It is recommended to dry your gloves in a place with good air flow and in an exhibition. Hanging your gloves to dry will prevent the deterioration of the inner padding and the overall structure of the glove. It is also important to avoid direct sunlight during the drying process so that the colour of the glove does not fade and the material structure is not damaged.
Are oven mitts machine washable?
Many oven mitts are machine washable. However, you should check whether your oven mitts are machine washable on the product label or in the product description. Especially models such as thick oven mitts and long oven mitts may require more care to clean.
Oven gloves that are machine washable generally provide ease of use. This type of gloves can be cleaned easily when machine washed and offer a hygienic use. However, not every model may be suitable for machine washing, so be sure to check the product instructions. Gloves made of particularly sensitive materials may be damaged in the machine and care should be taken.
Machine washing oven mitts saves time and energy; however, hand washing may be more suitable for some models. For example, machine washing is generally not recommended for models such as silicone oven mitts and plastic oven mitts. For these materials, hand washing gives better results and prolongs the life of the glove. Silicone and plastic oven mitts wear less when hand washed and retain their form.
When determining whether oven mitts are machine washable, it is important to avoid materials that are not heat resistant. Some gloves contain special coatings or padding, which can be damaged during the machine washing process. For example, specially coloured models such as red oven mitts may also be at risk of colour fading, in which case low temperature and delicate wash settings should be preferred.
The choice of detergent is also important during the machine washing process. The use of detergents for delicate fabrics and special materials can extend the life of the gloves. Especially for models such as fabric oven mitts, soft and detergent-rich cleaners should be preferred. In addition, low temperature should be used in the drying phase. Such gloves can remain clean and durable for longer by drying in the open air after washing.
Machine washability of oven gloves provides comfort, but it is ideal to wash the gloves by hand occasionally instead of washing them in the machine too often. Hand washing requires care and attention, especially for models such as thick oven mitts and long oven mitts. During the hand washing process, it is important to clean the glove gently, without rubbing, using hot water and a gentle detergent.
At what temperature to wash oven mitts?
Oven gloves are usually washed between 30-40 degrees and this temperature range is ideal to avoid damaging the fabric or material of the glove. However, since not all oven mitts are made of the same material, it is very important to pay attention to the washing instructions.
Models such as plastic oven mitts or silicone oven mitts should be washed at low temperatures and in delicate programmes. The materials used in such gloves may deform and lose their protective properties when exposed to high temperatures. For this reason, the product label should be carefully examined before washing and the specified temperature ranges should be adhered to.
Although models such as thick oven mitts and long oven mitts are generally made of more durable materials, it is still recommended to wash them at low temperatures. Gentle washing programmes should be preferred to maintain the structural integrity of such gloves and ensure their longevity.
Industrial oven mitts are designed for use in professional kitchens and are resistant to higher temperatures and corrosive substances. However, washing at washing temperatures recommended for home use will extend the life of the gloves.
Special attention should be paid to coloured gloves such as red oven mitts during the washing process. To prevent the colours from fading, it is recommended to use colour-protective detergents. Also, chemicals such as bleach or bleach should be avoided.
You can also wash your oven mitt sets at the same time as your kitchen aprons to ensure general cleanliness and hygiene in the kitchen. You can also browse IKEA's extensive collection of tablecloths and runners to maintain high quality and safety standards in your kitchen.
