Does the cartoon design fade or
come off after washing or brushing?
Short answer: No — when it's from FromRubber. Our electric toothbrush silicone sleeve colors are molded in, not painted on. Here's why your cute cover stays vibrant wash after wash.
Molded-in color
FromRubber uses pre-colored silicone pellets — the pigment is mixed into the raw material before molding. This means the color goes all the way through. No surface layer to scratch, peel, or fade. Even if the cover gets tiny scuffs, the color underneath is identical.
No cheap printing
Some low-quality covers use surface printing or stickers. Those will peel. FromRubber never does that. Our cartoon designs are either molded-in (multi-shot) or made with high-durability silicone ink that bonds at a molecular level — tested to survive 500+ dishwasher cycles.
What our lab tests reveal
We put our cartoon silicone covers through rigorous accelerated aging tests: 500 dishwasher cycles (top rack, heated dry), 1,000 brush strokes with electric toothbrush vibration, and 200 hours of UV light exposure. Result? Zero visible fading, zero peeling, zero color transfer. The little panda still looks as bright as day one.
Compare that to painted or printed covers — they often fade within 2-3 months. FromRubber covers are built to last the life of your toothbrush (and beyond).
Test results
- ✓ 500+ dishwasher cycles → no fade
- ✓ 1,000+ brushing hours → no wear
- ✓ 200h UV exposure → color stable
- ✓ 0 peeling complaints (real customers)
Common questions about fading & peeling
Q: Will toothpaste or mouthwash stain or fade the design?
A: No. Silicone is chemically resistant to toothpaste, fluoride, and mouthwash. Our molded-in colors won't react or stain. Just rinse normally.
Q: What about hot water in the dishwasher?
A: FromRubber covers are heat-stable up to 200°C (392°F). Dishwasher hot water cycles (typically 60-75°C) are completely safe — no warping, no color loss.
Q: If I scratch it with my fingernail, will the color come off?
A: Try it. Because the color runs through the entire thickness, a scratch won't reveal a different color underneath. No white streaks, no ugly marks.
Q: How do I clean it without damaging the design?
A: Any way you like! Dishwasher, soap and water, or antibacterial wipes. The design is sealed inside the silicone — nothing can wash it off.

“I bought the little fox cover for my daughter's toothbrush 9 months ago. She brushes twice a day, and I toss it in the dishwasher weekly. The colors are still bright — no fading, no peeling. I was skeptical at first, but FromRubber really delivers.”
