Q: How do I keep my Durbl product looking its best?
A: Wash with warm soapy water, rinse well, and let it air dry completely before storing. For best appearance, we recommend avoiding long-term storage of strongly colored or oily foods.
Q: Why does my Durbl look cloudy or less clear after washing?
A: Silicone may look slightly cloudy or show light water marks after washing, especially if it is air-dried or used with oily foods. This is common for silicone kitchenware and does not affect food safety or everyday use.
Q: Will Durbl stay completely clear over time?
A: Durbl is made for daily reuse, so it may naturally show signs of everyday use over time. It may not stay crystal-clear like glass, but it remains safe, flexible, and fully functional.
Q: Are there any foods I should avoid storing in Durbl?
A: To help maintain the best appearance, we do not recommend using Durbl for long-term storage of strongly colored or oily foods, such as tomato sauce, curry, coffee, berries, or oil-based dressings. If used with these foods, rinse soon after use.
Q: Is Durbl leak-proof?
A: Durbl products are designed to help prevent spills when properly closed and used as intended. For best results, make sure the seal is fully pressed closed, avoid overfilling, and keep liquids upright when carrying.
