Troubleshooting

Cloth is difficult to clean

Rinse immediately after use to prevent food particles from drying and setting. For stubborn stains, try a pre-soak with baking soda or white vinegar.

Liquid is not straining effectively

Ensure the cloth is not overloaded. You may need to strain in batches. Check that the weave is not clogged; rinse and gently agitate the cloth.

Cloth retains odors

Ensure the cloth is thoroughly rinsed and dried completely after each use. A soak in a diluted vinegar solution followed by a good rinse can help neutralize odors.

Pulp or small particles still present in strained liquid

The fine weave is designed for high filtration, but for extremely fine results, a second straining pass might be beneficial. Ensure ingredients were blended adequately before straining.
