Can liquids seep and get trapped underneath the silicone sleeve and cause mildew/mold around the openings? Thank you!

The lid does get mildew around it, after some time of use. Its very easy to clean. Every week or so, I thoroughly clean each part of bottle and lid, and have never had mildew resist cleaning, or not come off. I love these bottles. I've used many different kinds of glass drinking bottles over the years, and these are actually the easiest to clean.

I haven't had that happen. The sleeve is removable so it can be removed and washed separately. Also, the bottle with sleeve can go in the dishwasher. I LOVE this bottle.

No. I have had my Lifefactory bottle for a year and have never had a problem. I do hand wash the bottle and the lid.

I have not had any issues with that. I use it daily at work and hand wash and dry.

When you wash/rinse you can get in the corners, the sleeve has some give to it. I only put water in my bottles so I've not had to worry about other liquids getting trapped underneath the sleeve. I've never taken the cover off, it could get worn out but as I stated earlier it is loose enough to clean between the bottle and the sleeve, if need be

It won't stop the mold from continuing to damage the records. It sounds like you have a moisture issue. These would help keep the cover from getting damp. But I found these sleeves to be average at best. I would look for a different company. Their sizes are all over the place. Good luck

I have not tried. I was going to by a glass bottle with a silicone sleeve but decided not to cause it if breaks its a mess.. I got a glass bottle encased in a plastic bottle so if it breaks it all in the plastic. Less mess..

While my application was mostly to kill mold inside an interior wall where the air was part of this issue it worked in that application. It sounds like the air in you situation might not be as contained as what I had. If you could limit the air flow in the area for a day or two it should work, but you are really outside my knowledge and experience area.

plausible. Just cause mold is behind walls does not mean it is not airborne or spores ?toxins escaping. This is an air cell test wit h a tape lift included. What is your scenario?

Yes and No. There have been days when it has been a little moist but it did not affect my lunch. It didn't really moist until the very end of the day. I noticed it when i was taking the empty containers out to wash. It is not like that everyday, sometimes it is just barely moist. I am not sure what I do differently to make that happen. I have not paid close enough attention. I take wipe it out gently every day and have had no mold oder or anything. You might run into more moisture it the lunch sits for more than 4 to 5 hours. Not sure.

I never head of "avoid mold from water....". I just used the cheapest primer I could get, don't know the brand name or type of primer I used. I don't have any mold soaking through. Hope this helps.

I have not had any problem using my silicone holder. I do cook on a medium or low temperature setting.

No. It will cause problems like gumming up and attracting dirt. Best to use the Silicone.

It can be slipped off, but to be honest, I haven't had to do that yet. It is silicone and fits the bottle snugly. Not even a little condensation gets under the sleeve on my bottle. And the straw and mouth piece are easy to remove for cleaning as well.

I haven't had any trouble and i have been using glasslock products for years. I have never gotten mold on the lids. I run everything through the dishwasher between uses. Maybe they should practice safe food storage, you really shouldn't have anything stored long enough to grow mold....right??? Gross!! then you don't have to worry about it staining the container. Free advice >> Don't eat over their house ;)

Try and keep it away from the accessory input and any food that had garlic prior to use will leave a slight film. Cheers

I would try peroxide, Apple cider vinegar, or bleach with a squirt bottle. A magic eraser is helpful on mildew/mold issues on other products. Thats weird that mold occurred despite the chlorination... Mine is used in a lake on weekends then tossed on a screened porch to dry for the week. Fortunately, we havent experienced any mildew/mold issues. I hope these suggestions are beneficial. Goid luck!!

I have used the device continuously for over 6 months and did not have any mold problem. I changed the water every 2 months and cleaned the bucket and the device that sits in the water with soap and water before refilling the bucket. Also, I covered the bucket with black plastic garbage bag so no sunlight could get into the bucket filled with water.

Anything is removable with enough time and effort. However it's not made to be easily removed by the average user. Moisture issues are due to air intrusion (that in turn causes condensation), which points a failure in the sealing mechanism. Unless you did something to cause an air leak then I'd suggest contacting apple because that is a product defect.

We live in Utah where we have next to no mold problem so that is not an issue. However I was raised in the northeast where it is a big problem. I would suggest wiping it out every few weeks according to your humidity, which is the big factor. Sorry I can't help more. Have a good day.
