Am I supposed to leave the clear plastic on these?

I had the same question... it seems like it's a protective cover that should be removed or something, and rather than forming to the body at all, it makes them just slip around. Does anyone have suggestions on HOW to use these? They seem to move around a lot. Do you have to use tape or glue?

Yes, there is a tight plastic film over them, and that stays on. I can't remember if there was also a peel-off clear plastic, but I don't think there was.

Yes keep that on! You don't want to make any slits in it at all or the silicone leaks out.

Goo Gone works well and should not harm the plastic. Sometimes, scrubbing with a Scotch Brite sponge, dish soap, and hot water will remove it.

Not according to the guy who imports them. The instructions say NOT to put aluminum foil on the glass top.

I think putting them in the dishwasher would probably be a bad idea, due to the heat of the water. You might try using a paste of baking soda and water, and scrub them with an old toothbrush. Other than that, soaking in a mild detergent and water overnight could help. I'm afraid bleach would have a bad effect on the plastic, causing deterioration over time. Just my opinion! I haven't tried any of this on this item in particular.

They are plastic, and i have had no issues boiling them either. That is how i sanitize them.

Hi, a little bit.. I normally use packaging tape over the label if I know I have to leave them on the porch for pick up on a rainy/humid day.

I think you could leave these out for months in sunlight. All plastics degrade due to sunlight, temperature, etc. Google: high density structural foam degradation

You can leave them in or take them out. I take mine out so water doesn't stagnate. Very pleased with them.

Yes I think they should be ok, these are very soft and shouldn't damage the glass. When I cleaned my windows with Invisible Glass window cleaner, I just used a micro cleaning towel,

I just wipe mine down. Occasional I have to break it completely apart and clean the inside/outside of the plastic, but not a big deal. Overall I have been very please with this purchase.

You can wash them with a little soapy water. I have kept the plastic guard covers and put them back on after cleaning

Sorry. ;) I'm keeping them outside, and i've used about half of them, and they still seem OK. Maybe just put them in a cool, dry place?

Yes, pull the flexible plastic part off the bottom. I often wash them separately, may be better to hand wash.

That's funny because I've heard just the opposite...do not wash them and use them afterwards because you can never get all the detergent out of them and they will smear your TV screen. It would be interesting to find out if someone knows for sure what to do.

They need to be removed. They are just protective for rocks, etc., while you're not using them. They are very easy to take on and off. They are a rigid white plastic.

No,here you do not have to peel off the plastic. If they are not working,you need to check the printer.

You should not gave a problem. I took mine off when I reorganized them on my wall. Keep in mind they were not on the wall for very long. In my opinion I don't think they will harm the wall no matter how long they are on there.
