How is the seam between the glass and the silicone? Is it difficult to clean or could it harbor bacteria?

i find it very easy to clean. the material is flexible so you can shove a sponge in there and scrub the heck out of it. love these.

The seal is easy to clean (probably won't harbor bacteria if you clean it) but it isn't that strong. It bothers me that if I put anything with even a slight amount of liquid in it, I can't be sure that it won't leak when carrying the container to work for my lunch.

It's not at all difficult to clean, but bear in mind this is actually a pastry board. I use mine as a cutting board, but I'm starting to see pits in the surface. For the most part, you can just rinse it & stick it in the dishwasher. If the surface gets beat up, those areas may need some extra attention. I actually think its size is better suited to food prep, but as a pastry board it's a little small. I intended to use it for food prep, so I'm happy with it.

It is difficult to clean only if you don't rinse it immediately after using it... which has happened to me. I have kids, I get distracted :P

ive used it heavily and it's still clear for me, about two months now with semi-daily use. id say just avoid getting it too dirty and DONT submerge it in water to clean.

It isn't 100% clear like silicone - it is slightly hazy/cloudy. I would consider using a clear epoxy or DAP "all purpose adhesive sealant" which is 100% silicone and dishwasher safe. On the other hand, Marine Goop is very tenacious, and I have yet to compare it to the DAP product.

Thank you for asking! Our molds are easy to clean. You may wash by hand in hot soapy water or please feel free to place them on the top shelf of your dishwasher. Superior silicone material is flexible so that ice ball removal is a snap, yet won't loose it's shape and will withstand the high temperatures during the dishwashing cycle. Please let us know if we can answer any other questions regarding this product.

Not difficult at all, the is a tiny brush that is used for the screen which is probably the hardest thing to clean but if you really found it not useful you could probably just grab a small (and harder) brush at any store and scrub it that way. All of the other pieces are easy to clean.

I don't really know. However, I know many of my silicone kitchenware is not dishwasher safe. Still, being made of silicone they don't really need to be ran through a dishwasher. Nothing really sticks. Set in some warm soapy water then just rinse it off and it's clean. VERY easy to clean. Just a rinse even will get almost if not everything off it.

It may seep through the seems, it is a fairly firm plastic. Cleanup may be the biggest problem since the cut-outs are fragile. I have cleaned it only with a soft spray of water.

Should be easy. It is a hard plastic. I don't see any reason you'd have a problem cleaning it.

There are small ridges in the sides, but I haven't had a problem cleaning them. My kids drink juices out of them everyday. They wash well in the dishwasher.

Hi Anne, I normally just use dish washing soap and sponge to clean with water, next time use rube globes to prevent the membrane to adder it to you skin. ;)

I don't have a dishwasher, but having had my (various sizes) glasses for over a year now, I have noticed that the outer plastic and the inner glass expand and contract at different rates (i.e. if you close the lid too soon after pouring boiling water into the glass, it occasionally leaks). Besides, rinsing it works just fine, even after coffee.

I've dropped mine several times and so far no cracks although I wouldn't recommend making a habit of dropping it. : ) As far as cleaning goes, I run the bottom portion through the dishwasher but clean the top two pieces by hand to keep the seals working properly. If you rinse it after each use, cleaning is a breeze.

Hi. I've never had any problems with the screen protector. I recommend taking any case off of devices to give a break and to clean it (I do once every 3 to 4 months). The screen protector is part of the inner hard case and you cannot remove. Outer silicone cover will not fit without it.

I don't have a dishwasher either. It isn't awkward at all actually... even if you have excessively large hands! A dish scrubber can easily work the dirt off the 'saucer' area. Even if you don't have one too, a finger can work thru it with ease.

No it's not. It is actually why I got it because I wanted to use metal utensils. I thought they'd be hard to clean but they surprised me. Being able to use SOS pads helps. I hope this helps you.
