Troubleshooting

Lid does not seal properly

Ensure the rim of the container and the lid are clean and dry. Press down firmly on all sides of the lid until you hear or feel a click, indicating a seal.

Container retains strong odors after washing

Soak the container overnight in a solution of water and baking soda, or white vinegar. Ensure thorough rinsing afterward.

Container appears clouded after dishwasher use

This can be due to hard water deposits. Use a dishwasher cleaner or a rinse aid. Handwashing with mild detergent can help maintain clarity.

Container cracked or damaged

Inspect for damage before use, especially after freezing or dropping. If damaged, discontinue use.
