Love these, too! But do you have good way to clean outside of the lid? Still going strong but look dirty/dingy - want to clean vs repurchase. Thx!

I have sled diagnosed OCD, so I feel your pain! I use Ultra Palmolive Oxy Power Degreaser dish detergent, and scrub with the rough side of a Scotch Brite dish pad. That has done great for me, and all stains come out (even spaghetti sauce!). Hope this helps, and good luck!

I like them much better than Tupperware , just don't put it in the dishwasher because the lid warps. Otherwise I love mine, I have all the sizes!

I have not put them in the dishwasher. I think the best way to clean them would be to use a baby bottle cleaner. They might hold up to the extreme heat of the dishwasher.

Hi Elise, to be honest, I haven't tried yet, because I haven't used them much, I would suggest looking at the little directions on the package, but I am going to try a little liquid soap and warm water; I believe that will clean them properly. Hope that helps!

I use the dishwasher... Those straws are a pain in the butt to get clean any other way. I can't even be sure they are all that clean after the dishwasher but I'd think that'd be the best solution. Good luck! PS-I use one of those top rack dishwasher container thingys that you put smaller stuff in (ie. Straws, bottle nipples, small bottle parts) for the straws.

Ok, thoes Playdoh after like 10 times of use, or if you don't close the lid all the way they will get dry and then they will be every where in the room, some people recommend to add some cooking oil or water, but then it could get more messier!!

I clean mine by hand but, they seem pretty sturdy. I'd think it shouldn't be an issue.

I noticed that the inside of the lid is corroding too, but I still use it because no rust is present. However, the corroding can be reduced by washing the lid at least once a week by hand, not in the dishwasher. Yes, it is safe to use them.

Sorry, but I haven't tried. I always wash them by hand, which I feel is far better when dealing with smaller items. Based on the apparent quality, it should be OK, but this is speculation.

I have had my set for a couple of years now and I only hand wash them. They say you can put them in the dishwasher but I'm not so sure that they would look as good if you do. I have also found that they clean up very easily by hand so why risk it. Just a side note: I have discovered that to get off any "staining" to the inside of the pan you can soak the pan in a 50/50 mix of vinegar and water for about five minutes and they look good as new.

I hand wash mine and found no residue on my lid. This is the perfect size for casserole dishes and works perfectly. Hope this helps.

I don't know of any similar products that are easier to clean. These can be used for leftover meals, however I find they are pain to clean after one use because you have to remove 3 pieces under the lid and hand wash and dry everything. The rubber edge is the only piece dishwasher safe. The other reply with the Locktop containers is a great solution. I might buy those myself.

I don't have a brush, but I basically just run them under hot water with a drop of dish detergent on the inside and they clean out fine. I fill about half of the straw with hot water, cover both ends, and shake a bit, then rinse. I think the trick is to keep them wet until you can wash them, so if you're in a rush, just stick them in water until you have time to do the cleaning. I've used them for milkshakes & other thick things & as long as they don't dry out they clean easily. Enjoy :)

I have washed the lids on the top rack of my dishwasher and they have done just fine. However, it should be noted that we rarely used the heat dry cycle and let our dishes air dry. The stainless steel mug is just fine in the dishwasher also. I have placed the colored versions in the dishwasher and some of the coating has peeled. I would buy them again and again and again though, regardless. I love these mugs. They never spill and my car stays clean. I do suggest that if you buy them you wash them on the top rack only and don't use the heat dry cycle on them. I've had mine for almost one year and they are great.

I'm sorry, but I haven't had to clean the bottoms yet. Someone in my household put the little frying pan in the dishwasher, and that was a VERY BAD thing to do. The bottom of it now looks awful! Make sure you don't put them in the dishwasher!

Sorry, we haven't tried this yet either. I can tell you that they are run through the dishwasher routinely (which runs on a hot water cycle) and there have been no signs of wear or separation. Overall these bowls have held up since December 2013 when they were purchased. I can say if you use a mixer on them they do scratch, and the lids are by no means water tight, they just sit on the bowl.

I only use these for water so I wash the lid, the mouthpiece & outside with soap & warm water. I swish the inside with soapy water as well & rinse well. I suppose you could use a baby bottle brush.
