I've read that the metal grommet tends to rust rather quickly. Has anyone found a solution to that problem?

No. I believe I have had mine for two months almost. It is a standard ball jar lid they just put a hole it in for a straw. Just hand wash and leave the two parts out to dry separately. If someone has had issues with their lids rusting they just don't know how to clean the product properly.

I have not had an issue with rusting. As with any metal you want to wipe them dry before putting them away. I wash mine in the dishwasher and love them.

I have 6 of these jars, and I have had 4 of them for 2 years now. I use them practically everyday. Don't put the metal in the dishwasher b/c I found that to cause the rust. Hand wash and dry it. Honestly, the rust after all this time is so minimal. It's not even an issue, and it easily scrubs right off. It definitely hasn't stopped me from buying another set b/c the benefits of these bottles far outweigh the negatives for me.

Hand washing and drying the item is highly recommended to prevent any issues.

I couldn't, I love my jar but unfortunately the quality of the metal used on the top and grommet is not galvanized or painted.

Clean it well and then store with a slight film of oil to prevent the rust. Should be just fine, this is common. bone appetit

I use it quite often and then clean and dry it by hand and have had no problem with rust as of this date. Care in washing and drying it well is the Key

I'm not sure if we've had that issue with these mops, but other similar mops we've used in the past have gotten rusty. Maybe put some CLR on it to loosen any rust?

It is not supposed to rust, and I haven't had it long enough to see for myself.We've had se pretty severe storms with lots of wind lately (gusts up to 40mph) but it didn't topple over.

So far the bag is holding up fine after 7 months of off and on travel. What I don't like is that the metal grommets are rusting. I have seen other Swiss bags where the grommets were of a non rusting material.

I live in indy and I've had it for 3 month or so. o have seen any rust yet. And its rained a lot so I would say no. plus I've got a friend who's got the same one and he's had it 2 years. his also has no rust.

I've encountered no rust problems as yet. I've had mine for several months and it's been under the patio the entire time.

I have not had any problems with rust. After I use it, I rinse it under the faucet and throw it in the drain rack. I had my first one for 15 years and have had this one for 9 months. I love it!

Mine is not doing that. I live in a very humid climate and I don't wipe my down very often and when I do I use a organic cleanser and disinfectant. Moisture I thought was the main cause for rust.Sorry.

I haven't experienced any problems with my liner grommets. I would talk directly to manufacture especially since you just bought it.

Any hardware store will have rubber grommet type o-rings that should help I have never had a problem with mine but I think that would be the easiest cheapest solution! Hope that helps.

Hi. I've answered this before so will be brief. This strainer is really great and highly recommended. Water contact breaks down the metal .. this can cause rust .. so prevent it. Go to one of the "box stores" and by a can of "clear gloss" Polyurethane (about $7). As soon as you get strainer, take off the rubber feet and wipe it down (don't get it wet). Now, give it a couple of coats of that clear poly. Let completely dry (like overnight if possible). Lightly wash and dry, put on rubber feet and use. It will never rust (mine hasn't after a long time).

The surface of the heated plate on our unit appears to have started discoloring. I'm not sure it's rust;could be lime build-up. We've only had the unit about six months, so this is a little unexpected. The unit works great in all other respects.

I have owned this towel rack less than a month, so it would be too early for rust x but the metal has a finish that would likely resist corrosion for a good long while. It looks decent and is quite practical. And...is not as expensive as others I have compared. I hope that is helpful.

I suspect that is a treatment of some sort. After firing mine and leaving it outside, the grates rusted, removing the material. A steel brush took it down to the base material, which is a cast iron, at least to my eye.
