Troubleshooting
Lid is difficult to close or open
Ensure there is no food residue around the rim of the bowl or the lid. Make sure the silicone strap is properly aligned and not twisted. If it feels stiff, try flexing it gently.
Container leaks slightly
Verify that the lid is fully seated and the silicone strap is securely fastened. Check for any cracks or damage on the lid or bowl rim. Ensure the container is not overfilled.
Stains or odors persist after washing
For stubborn stains or odors, try a paste of baking soda and water applied to the affected area, let it sit for a few hours, then wash thoroughly. Dishwasher cleaning on a higher heat setting may also help.
Plastic appears cloudy after microwaving
This can sometimes occur with certain foods at high temperatures. Ensure you are not overheating food for extended periods. Thorough washing should restore clarity.
