If you've recently added Kitchen Curated's square air fryer liners to your kitchen routine, you've already made a smart move towards cleaner, faster, and more efficient cooking. To keep your liner performing at its best, a little ongoing care will go a long way.

This guide will walk you through how to clean, maintain, and store your silicone liners to help them stay in peak condition-supporting your everyday meals for hundreds of uses.


Square Air Fryer Liners: Why Our Square Silicone Liners Are Built to Last

Crafted for modern drawer-style and dual-zone air fryers, Kitchen Curated's square liners are reusable, flexible, and designed to simplify your cooking routine. They reduce waste, cut down cleaning time, and prevent sticking-while being kind to the planet.

Just like any well-used kitchen essential, giving them a bit of regular TLC will ensure they continue to deliver reliable results with every use-whether you're air-frying crisp potatoes, saucy midweek dinners, or prepping batch-cooked family meals.


How to Clean Your Air Fryer Liner (Step by Step)

1. Allow It to Cool Completely

Always let your liner cool before handling. It protects your hands and makes cleaning more effective.

2. Rinse Away Food Debris

Hold the liner under warm running water. Thanks to its non-stick surface, most food residue-like cheese, oil, or marinades-will slide off with minimal effort.

3. Use Mild Soap and a Soft Sponge

For deeper cleaning, add a drop of gentle washing-up liquid and lightly scrub with a soft, non-abrasive cloth or sponge. Avoid harsh brushes or steel wool.

4. Tackle Stains with a Baking Soda Paste

If any stains remain-often from tomato-based sauces or oils-sprinkle a little baking soda, add a few drops of water, and gently scrub. Rinse thoroughly.

5. Dishwasher Safe (Top Rack Only)

Our liners are fully dishwasher safe. For best results, place them on the top rack to avoid heat damage from lower elements.


Tips for Drying and Storing Your Liner


Air Dry Fully Before Storage

Allow the liner to dry completely to avoid trapping moisture, which could lead to mould if stored damp.

Store Flat or Loosely Rolled

Place your liner flat inside the air fryer basket or roll it gently for drawer storage. Avoid tight folds or creasing.

Keep Away from Sharp Edges

Avoid contact with knives, skewers, or sharp utensils, as they can puncture or tear the silicone.


How to Keep Your Kitchen Curated Liner Looking Like New

Skip aerosol sprays: Use a pure oil mister instead. Many sprays contain additives that can discolour silicone over time.

Rotate for even wear: If you own more than one liner, rotate use for even wear.

Avoid direct sunlight: Prolonged exposure can cause silicone to fade or degrade. Store in a cupboard or drawer.


The Long-Term Payoff of Proper Care

Caring for your Kitchen Curated square air fryer liner doesn't take much time, but it does make a big difference. Regular cleaning and correct storage will keep it looking fresh and functioning flawlessly, helping you make the most of your air fryer-meal after meal.
