Why do I keep getting black streaks on my hands (that don't wash off) after using or washing them?

I haven't ever had this issue with mine. Are you sure they're coming from the bowls? Do you use them in a mixer?

I have the same issue. I will clean my with soap and hot water every couple of days. And about once a month, I will let it soak in hot soapy water and give it a good scrub to get the stains out. Most of it does come off but its hard to get it out of the tiny corners

They recommend a Clorox powder type cleanser. I have used it once since I own them. My wife got the stuff mixed with bleach and it makes my hands stink like bleach so I don't like using it. Anyhow. I typically use water and just wash them and you can see the metal wash away. Frequency? Well not very often. I guess this would depend on the amount of sharpening. When you see them turning from white to gray maybe its time, if the grey becomes black its definitely time.

May be something to do with the surface. I have had these strips up for several months now without any problem. All I did was clean the surface before pasting the strips.

I just know they need to be hand washed. If you put them in the dishwasher, that may be the reason. I have not had any problem with my glasses and I use them regularly.

Not sure what others have done, but I kept mine on my hand continuously for over a month, changing them or cleaning as necessary. I would assume that the more they are worn, the better the results.

The only time I ever had an issue was when I was using black clay and thought I had cleaned it completely before putting white clay in it. As far as the machine itself causing black streaks, I haven't experienced any problems. I bought another smaller (cheaper) pasta machine for my white and transparent clay. Hope this helps.

Hi Kathleen, Thanks for the question. If there are soiled spots or finger prints use a foam cleaner or fabric cleaner like Woolite or scotch guard, taking a damp sponge clean gently from side to side, not up and down. Be careful not to crush or crease the shade. Also, if it's minor cleaning, a hand-held vacuum should be useful, as well as regular dusting. This will help ensure long-lasting cleanliness of the fabric. We hope this helps Kathleen!

Hey Laura! I think this is normal if you wash them in the dishwasher, but if you wash them by hand it won't happen!

Agreed - hand wash and dry. I wouldn't use them frequently though, maybe just one more time.

I have never clean them, I am using them for baking bread, but I think I need to get other kind of gloves since I am burning my hands...

I suggest using a cloth or paper towel and putting some rubbing alcohol. Then have a dry cloth or towel to wipe any residue off. That is what I do.

My hands never do and I use it a lot. If there is blackness it will be aluminum and that is not good at any time on any skin parts, sucks right up into the blood system. A rubber glove will prevent this.

i think it voids the warranty...use a soft scrub or soak them and whatever comes right off...

Did you run them thru the dishwasher? Can't do that, wash them with a soapy scrub pad that will take the excess tarnish off but handels will remain discolored. Sorry

I put mine in the dishwasher all the time and have never had a residue. They can also be hand washed with dish soap and water. I wonder if your water needs softening? That might explain the chalky residue.

I just use a lightly damp cloth, rub them down and dry them right away. My never get "dirty" because I always wash my hands before using my needles. Hope this helps.
