They are really sticky. Is there any way to fix this? Really gross.

These balls were sticky during the first couple of uses but eventually it wore off.

no they're not sticky on the top. I used them because the sticky on top ones are very expensive.

I did not have that problem but I would definitely return them. They could have been depressurized if they were sent to you via an airplane flying at high altitude. This is definitely not normal.

I did notice they were slightly sticky and the youngest kids had a hard time opening them. I may take your idea of freezing a few to see what happens. They would be refreshing that way too.

No. After two or three uses, the stickiness goes away. I then toss them in the trash and go on to use the next two.

It's a pain. I rinse them with lots of hot water, add soap and shake them and rinse again. I don't use them much for this reason.

since they are essentially balloons, I can't help but think that the latex is breaking down. The only suggestion I might have would be to put talcum powder or cornstarch on them. Corn starch is probably safer around an animal since its food grade. not sure if that will help extend the life to them or not but it might take some of the stickiness away.

They are very sticky. They stayed on the small canning jars I use for spices. I have not used them in the manner you requested but I have touch the jars with wet hands when cooking and the labels haven't come off.

Try scrubbing it with a dab of peanut butter. Best way to remove adhesive labels.

I don't know. I haven't had any problem with them not sticking. I have only been using it a week. there are replacement pads available to order though. I would think new pads would be safer. or perhaps you could try some adhesive tape over them?

I believe they are sticky. I cook them till the water is gone. And I don't rinse them like rice.

They are very hard to get off. Sometimes if I soak them for a while I can scratch them off and then there is a bit of glue left that I can get with alchohol.

I Don't have a solution for you. I wish they were removable, as you said. We clean it everyday with water in a sponge, inside and outside, and we keep it warm to be able to perform the cleaning

I would try rubbing in some baby oil and once it has mixed and lost its stickyness try rubbing in dishwashing liquid with a dash of water. If it comes away launder normally.Good luck.

Yep, I just got these and they leak all over the place when not upright. Going to try jtrumpio's solution.

Try lighter fluid (like Zippo, aka naphtha). This removes all kinds of sticky glue residue.
