Troubleshooting
Lid is difficult to screw on tightly
Ensure the jar rim is clean and dry. Place the lid on straight and screw firmly. If the issue persists, check the lid for any deformities.
Jars seem cloudy after washing
Cloudiness can sometimes occur due to mineral deposits from water. Try washing with distilled water or adding a bit of vinegar to your wash water. Ensure jars are rinsed thoroughly.
Contents do not remain fresh
