4. Maintenance and Care

Proper care will ensure the longevity and clarity of your mDesign storage container.

• Cleaning: This container is Hand Wash Only. Do not place it in a dishwasher, as high temperatures can cause warping or damage to the plastic.
• Washing Procedure: Wash with mild soap and warm water. Use a soft cloth or sponge to clean. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can scratch the surface.
• Drying: Rinse thoroughly and dry completely with a soft towel or allow to air dry before storing or refilling.
• Temperature: Avoid exposing the container to extreme temperatures, such as direct heat sources or boiling water, as this may deform the plastic.

5. Troubleshooting & Considerations

While the mDesign container is designed for simplicity, here are a few points to consider:

• Lid Fit: The lid is designed to rest securely on top, providing coverage and stackability. It is not designed to be airtight or watertight.
• Space Constraints: Before purchasing multiple units, measure your refrigerator or cabinet space to ensure the container's dimensions (14.5"L x 6"W x 4.25"H) are suitable for your needs. Some users with counter-depth refrigerators may find the length requires specific placement.
• Scratches: To prevent scratches, avoid dragging the container across rough surfaces and use soft cleaning materials as mentioned in the maintenance section.
