Troubleshooting
Lid not sealing properly
Ensure the jar rim is clean and dry before screwing on the lid. Check that the lid is not bent or damaged. Overfilling the jar can also prevent a proper seal; ensure adequate headspace.
Glass appears cloudy after washing
This can be due to mineral deposits from hard water. Try using a vinegar rinse after washing or use distilled water for the final rinse. Ensure jars are dried thoroughly after washing.
Difficulty screwing the lid on tightly
Check for any debris on the jar's threading. Ensure the lid is aligned correctly before turning. If the lid is new, it might be slightly stiff; apply firm, even pressure.
