Love these, too! But do you have good way to clean outside of the lid? Still going strong but look dirty/dingy - want to clean vs repurchase. Thx!

I have sled diagnosed OCD, so I feel your pain! I use Ultra Palmolive Oxy Power Degreaser dish detergent, and scrub with the rough side of a Scotch Brite dish pad. That has done great for me, and all stains come out (even spaghetti sauce!). Hope this helps, and good luck!

I have had no problem with them staying clean . As soon as I am done using them I rinse them out . You can also use something flat and soak them in hot water with a little dish soap over night ...

Just got them today. they look great for spring and fall clean up with the leaves. i think i'll go to the hardware store a buy a huge piece in bulk and cut them to size to save money. in fact, i think i'll try to find some with microscopic pores like the pleated ones and use them as disposable units. cleaning the pleated ones doesn't take more than 10 minutes for everything but it would be easier to just toss them. will let everyone know if i find something that will work. thanks for the comments.

just rinse it well when you empty it, DONT wait. then when its time to wash, put about 4 inches of hot water in it and add a small squirt of dish soap. screw on the lid and shake hard for about 30 seconds. rinse well and done. no stains, no leftover smell. i've had my pair for over 3 years. i use them for iced tea and iced coffee year round.

I haven't put them in the dishwasher yet. I'm trying to keep them the best condition I can, as it will be my very Last set I ever buy. Though I wouldn't not nessitate at all putting the lids in. They wash up so easy and beautifully and if they are dishwasher safe, they'll take up too much room. If I recall, they are dishwasher safe. Sorry, I threw the directions away already. I do a lot of hand dish washing; only two of us.

Sorry, we haven't tried this yet either. I can tell you that they are run through the dishwasher routinely (which runs on a hot water cycle) and there have been no signs of wear or separation. Overall these bowls have held up since December 2013 when they were purchased. I can say if you use a mixer on them they do scratch, and the lids are by no means water tight, they just sit on the bowl.

Just cleaned mine today. Just wash in soapy water, rinse, and dry. Be careful not to break them.

I run them through the dishwasher with no issues, but I'm sure if you soaked them in hot soapy water for a few minutes they'd come clean just fine. They are just like ice-cream-scoops, so very simple to clean.

Hmmm...I wonder if your lids are unusually thick or oddly shaped. Have you put them in as the photo indicates, with the smallest on the bottom and getting larger as they go up? Are you able to post a photo of your predicament?

I do not put mine in the dishwasher. I prefer to wash them by hand and if the lids are kept on after the food is eaten, it will be easy to rinse out, using a bottle brush for anything stuck in a nook or cranny.

I'm not allowed in the kitchen for much, but my wife says she washes them by hand, and the only problem is that the outside bottom stains easily. The food that comes out of them here is always great! Hope this helped some.

I haven't gotten there yet! Have you asked wellnessmama? I'll bet she's done it...honestly, I'm not sure I'd wash them the first time through...will probably just pour some new over the old. But I keep them in the fridge before I use them, so they are less likely to get rancid. But if I were to clean them, I think hot (not boiling) water would be key.

Very. I have had no issues in cleaning the lid. The outside is actually more stain resistant than the plastic versions I have had in the past.

I haven't cleaned one yet but when I do I will put a small amount of dishsoap and enough water and then shake it. The other option would be to clean it like you would a coffee pot with ice, lemon juice or vinegar.

We never tried cleaning them. I thought they were considered disposable. If you have figured a way to clean them please let me know.

I'm sorry but I don't have the original box anymore. I have been looking at mine and thinking abouthand-washing them in something like Woolite, rinsing and wrapping in towel to squeeze excess liquid out. Then I guess I will air dry them. This is my best idea.

I, too, put hot water with a dab of dawn inside and screw the lid on, shake shake shake and open the button to pour out the sudsy water. I then unscrew the top and use q-tips to clean the grooves and bits of the lid. I have owned 2 of these mugs for a few years now and LOVE them. I tried using a bottle brush in the lid but couldn't reach the gunk well enough, hence the q-tips.
