Has anyone else had a problem with the silicone stopper growing mold within it?

No, I've only had mine about 3-4 months, but I use them every day. In addition to hand washing, I run them through the dishwasher once a week on a 'sanitize' cycle.

No. I have had them for a few months and have been washing them either by hand or in the dishwasher. No mold problem so far

Yes!! After about a year of use. I've tried scrubbing it clean, but it still has black discoloration. Any ideas about how to resolve this?

yes and unable to clean it off . I've had the bottle a few years . I also noticed the that the clear bottom part is no longer clear . I don't believe that there were any instructions on cleaning the product . I have used a baby bottle brush , believe it left fine scratches and these areas grew some kind of mold also . I did buy another because I like the design , the one handed use . I think you just need to replace every so often .

I had the same problem with a raw bar, but a different brand. Turns out it was mold starting to form. When I called customer service, they advised me to store the bars in the fridge in the future. Again, different brand, but hope I could help!

No problem with black mold. Just a problem with it not misting. I threw it away.

The interior parts may be leaking. They may be replaced. Check at the companies website. I keep it in the refrigerator, when it empties, I refill it. I don't worry about mold.

Yes, I have. I have to clean it out every couple of days.The rate that the water fills the bowl is not enough to clean the mold and the water does not circulate.

Never had that problem. It's simple. Just before removing the mold, run it under warm water at the faucet. It should slide right out.

I've not had issues with mold in this pail or the larger size of this pail. I try to let it air out during washings in order to prevent mold. I also put an arm and hammer baking soda diaper pail disc in the bottom which seems to help, too.

I purchased the clear version, which is the one in the picture. I simply rinsed it myself with cold water and let it air dry. Haven't had any problems with mold or any other issues. It works really well for me. If u place it in the dishwasher -which i haven't tried- I would take it out before the heating cycle for drying kicks in. That heat may be too strong for this item.

Have you tried running hot water over the mold? I have only frozen ice and juice mixed to beat the heat, but I have to take the individual pop and run the blue mold under hot water and rub it and then am able to remove it. I think leaving it out for a few minutes may help too.

I haven't had a problem but I live in Arizona and fungus and mold are not prevalent here. Sorry, I have no suggestions.

Mine seem to have grown some moldand I'm thinking of brushing a little hydrogen peroxide or spray spot remover before putting through the wash cycle.

I've had mine for 4 months now and have had no problem with the refreezing. I have a few different sizes and use them frequently. I would be curious to know if anyone has the same problem you have.

No. Had about six months and have not seen any mold. My husband thinks this is the best thing since sliced bread!

Not too sure but if it is sticking it may have something either stuck in it or soap build-up or some thing similar....maybe running some draino through it or a strong vinegar/water solution in very hot water...if that doesn't work I think the stopper can be unscrewed out of the assembly....I can't remember for sure though....sorry I wasn't more help...good luck.

No mold problems yet, but I've only had this for a few months. We leave it on all the time. If it were to get mold I'd put it in the dishwasher.
