Do yours have black marks? Mine are 2 years old, use them every load, love them, but now have black spots (more each load). Anyone else?

haven't had that happen. They are just wool, have you tried running them through the washing machine, (cold water of course!)?

I didn't use mine very long because the static was terrible. I found them to be useless and a huge waist of money. The time I used them though they never changes color.

I can't imagine what would cause that. I too have had mine for 2 years without problems of any kind. I contacted the owner of The Willow Store and she is baffled as well but suggests you send her a picture. Hope that helps.
1706624
yes, I have them too. I think it is caused by the essential oil I put on the balls.

I have had mine for a little less than a year, only thing they get is lint sometimes on them but that can come off. Is yours black lint or staining the actual wool?

No, I have not had that happen. I would send them back or exchange them. They are definately worth it. I swear by these after many years of problems.

I purchased mine in November of 2014 and just recently i noticed a pretty good amount of condensation starting to form on both. I looked for cracks in the lights but didn't see any. I contacted the Manufacturer and they offered to sell me another set at full price since i was past my warranty by a month. So don't drag your feet, if you have any condensation contact them right away. Good Luck.

I tried to find some too- but have not - I just wrote the company today. I bought 2 sets last year and in one of the two, I had a black mold grow almost over night- 99% of it come out but I havent used it since. SO your question got me thinking so I wrote the company- Ill let u know what they tell me.

I have ordered 2 batches and never had this issue. My father also uses them. Maybe you got a bad batch. I would ask the seller to exchange the rest if possible.

We just bought ours and washed it for first time tonight. Before packing her first lunch, we noticed the black smudges, mostly in grooves and near edges though also some on flatter portions of the pieces. After scrubbing and scraping, it mostly is coming off. It looks like something burned or remnants from manufacturing (since ours is brand new). I emailed the company for information; we'll see if they replace.

I've had mine since the beginning of December and love them! So far no issues. I use pinsol in one, peroxide and dawn detergent mixture in another, and vinegar in the third one. I hope this helps!

I've had no problems with mine. I would suggest to send them back for a replacement; I am extremely pleased with the quality.

I'm using them in my WF-2540 now. The black I installed worked fine and the color looks black, not dark charcoal. However, my first set of color did not work. Only the red emitted ink, but it looked more like it was leaking ink out while the head was moving back and forth (it was not actually leaking). The 2nd set of color I'm using now and are working fine. For the price, it's still a good deal for me.

Mine have not left black marks and I have a cream colored carpet that would have shown any type of mark.

We've had ours for quite a while now and they haven't. Maybe the little cap on them are stripped and you need new ones.

I didn't realize you have black. Ours is white and we sometimes get drip marks from either food (we might put our colander in the rack when the counter is crowded or fresh vegetable after we have rinsed them) or from soap residue when I get to quick in the rinsing process.

2 of mine are over 15 years old and show no sign of quality degradation. I recently bought a new one and did not see any info sheet requiring visual or hydro testing. I recommend you give Worthington a call or email. Capt. Bill

Brian,They have a Simi-gloss finish. We just released the same part with a textured black finish, take a look at 11210.17.Thank you!

No, mine haven't and I've had them for months. The only thing I have noticed is if knock them off a shelf sometimes the lid will loosen and drip a bit. Either tightening them more in the first place or doing it after knocking them over should resolve that though.

Yes. Mine get covered in lint/fuzz and I have wiped them with a damp cloth to remove fuzz/refresh adhesive. After one or two times of this, they need to be replaced.
