How do I best clean the silicone seal?

It is recommended to remove the silicone seal periodically and wash it separately with warm, soapy water. Ensure it is completely dry before reinserting it into the lid.

What are the dimensions of the container?

Troubleshooting

Lid is difficult to lock

Ensure the container and lid are completely dry, especially the silicone seal. Check for any obstructions or debris around the locking tabs.

Seal does not seem airtight

Verify the silicone seal is correctly seated within the lid groove. Ensure the seal is clean and free from any food particles or damage. Try re-inserting the seal.

Container retains odors

Wash thoroughly with warm, soapy water. For stubborn odors, try soaking the container (without the lid) in a mixture of water and baking soda or vinegar for a few hours. Ensure it is rinsed and dried completely.

Plastic appears foggy after microwave use

This can occur with prolonged microwave use. Ensure the lid is not fully sealed during heating to allow steam to escape, which can help mitigate this effect. The container remains food-safe.
