Troubleshooting
Lid doesn't seal properly
Ensure the silicone gasket is clean, free of debris, and seated correctly within the lid's groove. Check for any warping or damage to the gasket or canister rim.
Canister appears dull or dirty after washing
Use a soft sponge or cloth with mild dish soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the glaze. Ensure all soap residue is rinsed off completely.
Food items feel slightly damp inside
Verify the silicone seal is creating an airtight closure. Make sure the contents themselves are completely dry before storing, and that the canister was thoroughly dried after its last cleaning.
