Caring for Duralex Freshbox Lids

Quick answer

To keep Duralex Freshbox lids airtight and durable, hand-wash them with mild soap, avoid high heat, and store them loosely attached to the container.

How to care for your Freshbox lids

1. Clean with mild soap and warm water: Hand-wash the lid using a soft sponge, mild dish soap, and warm (not hot) water. Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue. Avoid abrasive scrubbers that can scratch the plastic or silicone. Do not put Freshbox lids in the dishwasher; the high heat and harsh detergents can warp the plastic and degrade the silicone gasket over time.
2. Dry completely before closing: After washing, shake off excess water and let the lid air-dry on a clean towel. Do not snap the lid onto a wet container or store it while damp, as trapped moisture can lead to mold or odors. Check the silicone gasket for any food particles or moisture after drying, especially around the edges.
3. Store lids loosely on containers: When not in use, place the lid loosely on top of the container without pressing the tabs down. This prevents the gasket from compressing permanently and keeps the lid's shape. Alternatively, store lids separately in a drawer. Avoid stacking lids under heavy objects, which can distort the plastic tabs and compromise the airtight seal.
