Hey guys. Don't know if this was/is a problem for anyone else, but I have had issues with my 1 piece silicone STP starting to smell like urine even after cleaning it. Then someone recommended dish soap! It works great to keep your packer smelling/looking good. Just thought I'd pass along that handy tip!

thanks for the tip, man!

What do you mean by dish soap? What you wash plates with or something different?

Boiling is also a good method but for those who are careful about their packers yes dish soap is a good way to clean it. Just make sure the specific silicone stp is dish-soap safe.

Yeah like the stuff you'd use in your sink.

Okay thanks, here that's "washing up liquid" so thought I'd check. I'll give it a try when I need it.
