Only had this a couple weeks and only used 3 or 4 times. What is the Black that is in the grooves around the edges? Washed &amp; washed but still there

I've had ours for 6 months used everyday and never had that happen. I hand wash them. I would think if you took a nail brush to the edges it would come off... It may be from sitting water in the cut edges if the metal??

You could wash it in the machine on gentle or just spot clean with a wash cloth or wet wipe. I have it in black and it never looks dirty. I've seen a few cream ones and they look good, too. The material has some sheen to it, so it cleans and dries well.

Good news I tried something I took mine and rinsed it a few times under warm water then washed the whole thing in warm soapy water now it's nice and clean and good to go, it's all dry now so washing didn't ruin it. I couldn't get the filter out of mine either my friend has one same thing

I believe the small tag (which I cut off) says to spot clean it. I washed it on delicate with cold water with no major issues. The colors after awhile will fade if you wash it frequently and maybe the rings will lose a bit of shape as the stuffing might settle. Again, I have washed mine with no trouble.

The only issue I had was with the top part connected to the motor. It can't really be washed, just wiped. I've only used it twice and food has gotten stick both times in two little areas - one near the side where there's a screw/hole and the part that connects to the blades. I've tried q-tips, paper towels, etc. but I can't get the stuff out! I hope it doesn't mold...

I have spot cleaned it and the stain came right out. For the price, I would try to wash it in a front load washer on the gentle cycle.

Always happen the same. It doesn't matter. Just try to wash it as better as you can.

It could be several things. We'd need a little more info before troubleshooting this. However, my top 3 guesses would be:1. You used the wrong cleaners on it (anything chemical heavy or abrasive is a no-go)2. It is a layer of paint after all, items can ding it, chip it, etc causing this.3. Especially if it's around the sides or corners it very well could be improper application or top coating.

I washed mine and it was never the same. Couldn't use it after that. Recommend hanging it or laying it out in the sun, brushing with a brush. If that doesn't work, pitch it and get a new one! Then, check your bananas every day or so and towel-wipe any moisture away.

Robert, are you talking about the area that is silver (the sharpened area)? Because I looked at mine closely just now and what I didn't notice when I first got it was that on mine the silver part seems to have a clear coating on it. I'm not sure of what, but it seems like tiny bubbles or debris in the clear coating. The black metal part of mine has one or two tiny pits but thats about it. Maybe contact the seller and swap it out?

I've just spot cleaned it. It is primarily decorative. I would recommend doing the dryer with spot cleaning rather than puttting it in a washing machine.

I'm in agreement most likely mold. Soaking in bleach my clear it up. I had a cup with a form of clear plastic lining that developed mold like that. I tried bleach with didn't seem to work. It might be in your best interest to just replace like you should replace cleaning towels. If this happen to me I will probably replace the thing if bleaching it doesn't work.

Hi Sara, I re-sprayed my fabric after washing it, just to be on the safe side, two out of three times...my fabric is black with white print...I didn't notice any problems/lack of protection when I neglected to spray it, but that might be due to the main color being black. If in doubt, spray it again! ;)

Yep -- stuck it in the washer then air dried just a few days ago. Or I sometimes take a kitchen brush to it if it's not too dirty. Works great!

Have had it since end of August and use it very regularly. It is uniformly black and has not stained anything of mine, though at first the dyes were very stinky...a few days out on my deck, turned inside out, took care of thatHope that helps.

I have unbuttoned it and cleaned it with a wet rag and soap then line dried it seemed to be ok. Would not recommend putting it in wash machine the bottom is made of plywood but I do love it
