I have both and so far have no stains on either. I really like the lekue containers and have Four. I only use in the Microwave Oven

I have the mint green case. The color is great, but it does have a bit of a shimmer.

Shantel's answer is for the Cell Food, not the silica forumula. Heads up that there is a chemical in the cell food that's been identified as toxic- so be forwarned on buying cell food.

No I cook all types of gravys in mine all the time and nothing has stained it, it cleans very easy. I'm very pleased with my purchase!

Same issue with the mint case. So sad, because I love the colour, but it's turning all brownish around the bumper edges... sigh. Might have to get the black one, so that stains won't show. Have not tried cleaning it yet, but if I find a good solution I will post it.

I have the black version of the case and I haven't have any problems with it or any of the people I call has say anything about it. I'll recommend you to contact the vender and see if they can help you with your problem. Sorry for not having another solution to your problem

Does the silicone lid stain? YES.Hold old flavors? YES -- and the flavor of the silicone.

I find when I use these containers for sweet potatoes or carrots or anything with a dark color that they do stain a little-they turn a little yellow is all.. But, the majority of foods I make are not dark, so it's not a big deal.

Mine doesn't have any stains. The finish does appear to wear off, however that really doesn't matter. The bamboo is just like wood...a wood cutting board loses its finish. I love it. Works really well with a pizza stone.

Get the gronomics stain/varnish. It is food friendly. Just out gronomics varnish into amazon search.

Click on it. See if there is a choice for a clear case because when I bought mine there were other selections for the color.

We use a damp cloth with warm light sudsy (with dish detergent) water, then wipe dry It has worked very well, although since this case is white, I can't be sure if it would affect the color of one of the colored cases. My daughter also used a soft cloth with a small amount of Goo-Gone on it for a tougher stain, but again, if the case is colored and not white, it could spot or fade the color. Maybe try a very small area first.

I have the same problem, I've tried to remove the stains with acetone and even a Magic Eraser, but nothing work. SO disappointing because I love the case!

Mine have not stained at all yet; I have used them to cool chocolate covered nuts, and to bake biscuits. Maybe the generic brand is the problem?

I've experienced the staining. Recommend wiping the face of the pads wit mineral spirits before using.

Unfortunately, I live in CA and have hard water with quite a few minerals. I have a white residue around the lid where it steams and also running down from the spout tha drips a bit. That is the biggest drawback. I have to wipe it with vinegar pretty occasionally to keep it wiped away.

I can't accurately answer that question since I bought the black case. If my hands are moist, then they leave finger marks on my case. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase a lighter case though since I wouldn't expose my mac to a dirty environment or near where we eat or have beverages.
