How should I clean the lids?
The lids can be washed by hand with warm, soapy water or placed on the top rack of a dishwasher. Ensure they are completely dry before use or storage to maintain a good seal.

Troubleshooting
Lid does not seal tightly
Ensure the rim of the container and the edge of the lid are clean and dry. Press down firmly around the entire perimeter of the lid to secure the snap-on closure. Check for any warping or damage to the lid or container rim.
Container leaks despite lid being on
Verify that the container is not overfilled. Ensure the lid is fully and evenly sealed. Check for any cracks or damage on the container itself. For very liquid items, consider placing the container upright during transport.
Plastic has stained or retained odor
Soak the container in a mixture of baking soda and water for a few hours. Alternatively, wash with a mild bleach solution (1 part bleach to 10 parts water), rinse thoroughly, and air dry. Avoid storing highly colored or strongly scented foods for extended periods without proper sealing.
Container feels brittle after freezing
While freezer-safe, plastic can become more rigid at very low temperatures. Handle with care when frozen and allow to thaw slightly before attempting to unstack or open.
