Troubleshooting

Lid not sealing properly

Ensure the jar rim and the inside of the lid are clean and free from debris. Check that the lid is centered and screwed on straight. For stubborn lids, slightly warming the lid in warm water may help create a better seal.

Cloudy glass after washing

This can sometimes occur with dishwasher use. Try using a dishwasher cleaner or a vinegar rinse cycle. For handwashing, ensure you rinse thoroughly with clean water.

Jar cracked or chipped

Inspect jars for any damage before use. If a jar is cracked or chipped, it should be discarded for safety reasons, especially if intended for food storage.
