Troubleshooting
Jar lid is difficult to screw on tightly.
Check the jar rim for any debris or imperfections. Ensure the lid is correctly aligned before screwing. If the issue persists, the lid or jar may be defective.
The seal does not seem to be airtight after closing.
Ensure the jar rim and lid are clean and dry. Tighten the lid firmly. If preserving, ensure the correct headspace has been left and the preserving process has been completed correctly to achieve a seal.
Glass appears cloudy after washing.
This can be due to mineral deposits from hard water. Try washing with a vinegar and water solution to remove cloudiness, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
Lid shows signs of rust.
Ensure the lid is completely dry after washing and before storage. For minor rust, it may be possible to gently scrub with a non-abrasive cleaner. Consider replacing the lid if rust is significant.
