Stained my brace rubbers

#1 Post by fleur26 »

Today this afternoon I noticed My light grey elastics have gone kind of green/yellow, I know I stained them as I sucked on a coloured boiled sweet and had ketchup earlier. Anyway, any tips on making them look a little less yuk!! Help!!!!

Yuck, I had the problem too.

Even with brushing I couldn't get the stains out. Only thing is to get the replaced at the next appointment. Sorry.

Yeah, unfortunately, the only thing you can do is wait until your next appointment to get them replaced. Maybe try a different color (if you're that brave) that won't stain as easily. :)
