Silicon muffin cases all tacky after washing?

[wysiwyg]

I have some silicon muffin trays 6 per tray, most likely bought from target haven't used in prob a year as not much of a baker, got them out cupboard and they feel all tacky, I though maybe had put away not that clean as am certainly not a domestic goddess but after washing in jot soapy water they are the same - any ideas? Are they ruined? I think are probably still usable so will I just have to put up with the tacky feeling? How to avoid doing it to other silicon things?

Next time you use them put in paper cases then see how they are after a hot soapy wash.
I have one from Aldi and find it doesn't clean like tin pans but still cooks well. I clean mine with hot soapy water and use a green scrub pad as well to get off any food left on.

i bought one today, haven't undone packaging. Are they rubbish? If they are, i'll return mine. I bought a mini muffin tray. If you have to line them with patty pans, what's the point of them?????

Not sure of other brands but mine is used for zucchini slice and I find it stains but I can live with that.

I just got mine out today and found the same - tacky. It irritates me when I try to use it anyway so I think I'm going to chuck it out.

Mmmm - I will just live with the tackiness I think - sounds like it isn't my "user-error" which has caused it.

I haaaate silicone for baking! (except for my spatula) Something has to be said for going back to basics and using the tin ones.
