Troubleshooting
Lid is difficult to screw on tightly.
Ensure the jar rim is clean and free of any food residue. Check that the lid is properly aligned with the jar's threads.
Seal does not seem to be airtight after closing.
Ensure the jar rim is clean and the lid is fully tightened. If the lid appears damaged, replace it. For optimal sealing, ensure the contents are not filled above the recommended level.
Glass appears cloudy after washing.
This is often due to mineral deposits from hard water. Try washing with distilled water or adding a tablespoon of white vinegar to the wash water. Ensure jars are dried thoroughly after washing.
