I have used these for a 1.5 year now, and suddenly realize that they are leaving very sticky crumbs (their own) behind in every shelf. how to get rid?

I purchased this product in July. I have no crumbling as of yet, but I will keep an eye out. One of the products I really love is Warp Bros. Plast-O-Mat Ribbed Shelf Liner. I have used it for over 10 years with wonderful success. My husband ordered the Duck Brand for his garage. I didn't care for the texture and went back to my Plast-O-Mat to line my kitchen and bathroom cupboards.

I have found that the first time it is hard to get them to stay, try running them thru the dishwasher on the to rack, and see it if it easier. I was super frustrated with them trying to use them the first coupe of times. But they seem to get better after a couple of uses. Hope this helps u.

They come off from time to time, it is only from pulling them out of a "bag target". As long as you can find them it's easy to just glue them back on, I use super glue and it seems to work just fine. If you can't find them you can always just get new tips on Amazon they are about $5 a box.

My wife actually got them apart. Try soaking them in hot, then cold water. Particularly cold (icy) water on the inside and very hot on the outside bowl. Be patient and repeat. Use a thin knife. Plastic or something flimsyer than the bowls, and work to pry them apart. Really have to be patient or you'll break them. Wife said she spent all day working on them. I think the detergent idea from the other poster is good too. That stuff is slippery and should loosen them up.

Sprinkle them with tiny bit of water and microwave them a few seconds until soft- they'll stick better!

I haven't noticed sticky residue on dishes... and used for several years. Can't get locally anymore...

I'm thinking for a week or until they look dirty. You have to take them out in the morning and put them back in the case. Don't just put them on your night table to collect dust.

I haven't had that problem, nor has my daughter who uses them. If I were having that issue, I think I would perhaps think about lowering the oven temperature and then, if that didn't work, I'd consider altering the time. One or the other of these should address the problem...but I would find a way to keep using the mats...I LOVE the easy clean up!

Mine were dry with white frosty spots and didn't stick as well. Probably depends on expiration date, dunno

I think putting them in the dishwasher would probably be a bad idea, due to the heat of the water. You might try using a paste of baking soda and water, and scrub them with an old toothbrush. Other than that, soaking in a mild detergent and water overnight could help. I'm afraid bleach would have a bad effect on the plastic, causing deterioration over time. Just my opinion! I haven't tried any of this on this item in particular.

Have you test them to see if they are absorbing liquid like pouring water on them and see how fast they soak up? Have you tried stripping them? Like boiling them in water? I have used mine for about 9 months now and so far ok.

Did you use a dishwasher to clean them? If so that's probably why they slit. If not, I'd contact Amazon to get them exchanged

It was a pain.... I couldn't believe the location of them! I used veggie oil and let sit in the sink. Then used old fashioned elbow grease to be totally rid of them. They are awesome. Years ago I had a plastic set, but lost them in the divorce. The stainless steel are much better! Good Luck

I've found that crumbs are best swept off with a hand held broom. If a liquid spill happens just a damp rag will do. :)

Try using rubbing alcohol. I use it for a lot of stuff and I have also used it to clean off the sticky stuff from the back of things. Hope this works for ya.

I suppose you would have to contact the company. I don't like them and give them to others to take home. They do nothing for keeping food fresh.

I have not experienced that happening. Actually my experience is the opposite; I have to throw them out before they deteriorate.
