*Do not put Tightvacs in the dishwasher:  *HAND WASH ONLY* ---
Always thoroughly dry your Tightvac immediately. This will prevent the clouding effect that a lot of soaps and chemicals have on clear plastic.

*Keep the Interior of the cap & the top of the container clean.
This is very important – *neglecting the cleaning where the cap and body meet may cause the cap to become difficult to put on & off.

*Also storing sticky products may cause this effect as well. If this does occur - clean these areas thoroughly with alcohol or a strong soap. Make sure you have wiped clean all surfaces and then have dried them properly. There are now several methods to make your Tightvac work properly:

*We recommend WAX. Food grade wax – Candle wax – Wax paper – You can even use car wax if you are not eating out of the container. Simply apply wax to the inside of the cap & the body of the container where the cap & body meet. Let the wax dry, and then thoroughly rub wax off with a clean cloth until you have a smooth slick surface. Now you can put the cap back on your Tightvac -- This should make it alot easier to open & close your container. If your Tightvac has been neglected -  Please look at the Extreme Care Instructions.
