1. Identify the exact product and care markings. This guide concerns the OXO Good Grips Ice Cube Tray (11284400); not all plastic or silicone ice trays tolerate the same washing method.
2. Discard old ice, separate the sliding lid, and check for ice fragments or debris around the tray and cover. Do not scrape with sharp tools.
3. Hand-wash the tray and lid with mild dish soap and a soft sponge. OXO also identifies this particular model as top-rack dishwasher safe, so that is an option for this model.
4. Rinse thoroughly to remove soap, drain, and allow the pieces to dry completely. Check for lingering odor, cracks or distortion.
5. Fill the clean, dry tray with drinkable water and place it level in the freezer. Close the sliding cover; OXO says it protects ice against freezer odors and allows stacking.
6. Release only the cubes you need gently. Wash the tray again if visibly soiled before refilling, and consider replacement if the tray or lid becomes cracked or misshapen.
