Water stains are showing on my bowl. Anyone have the same issues?

The bowls are stainless steel. Hard water will cause a calcium build up or hard water stain. You can clean that with vinegar or barkeepers friend cleanser. A baking soda paste also works well

I just wipe mine down with a damp cloth and it seems to work, but the directions that came with it said to use mayonnaise to polish it!

Not on the bowls themselves, but on the wooden holder. I remove them with elbow grease and furniture polish.

I like the fact that its stylish and looks good in a contempory setting. The wood is strong enough to withstand dog dripping food and water.THe bowls are stable and there are beads of silicone holding in the bowls so they do not make noise or move when dog is eating. The only thing you have to do is occassionally wax the wood so it repells stains. But if you want something stylish, you have to work a little for it. I am very happy with this purchase.

Did you use a cooking spray on it before you used it. That's not good. It can cause stains that are very difficult to remove and clean. A scouring pad should do the job with some soap. Barkeep's Friend should certainly help. If all fails use an SOS pad.

I he the same time. I'm using the second one I purchased and I'm making sure I clean it right away. The first one I soaked in hot water. I think it is more a stain then not being clean.

Yes as far as i have found the water runs off the cushion in droplets, and stains so far have done the same thing with a quick rub of a damp cloth. There must be a weatherproof/spillproof coating on the cushion already..

mine has stained horribly, and nothing I do seems to get it out. But it still works the same as when it looked clean.

Same as previous answer. We've had ours installed for about 2 years now. We rinse it out after each use and its not stained

No staining. I don't have a dishwasher but I think they would work. They stack but take up more space than most bowls. I got orange ones. Wish they offered mixed color sets.

We have very hard water at my home too, and it seems too. I've never let the water stains build up so that might help...

The bowl is easy to clean; however, if the tank has water and needs to be cleaned, the water will splash all over. The tank gets dirty inside in the water so that's my issue. Don't know how dirt gets up there???

We had the same problem. First i just dishwash soap and a brush to get it off. Didnt work. Then i out some hand soap on the stains, rubbed it in with my fingers, let it sit for an hour and then washed it off. All stains were gone!

i cleaned mine before i used... but its hard to clean inside out cuz its got a screw inside that has black lubricant around it..whenever leftover ice drips to the bowl, i could see little bit of lubricant drips along with ice water. that is the cons. other than that i love it.

I have actually started noticing mold a few weeks ago. I use both daily and it took a few months to show up & it's only in the water bowl. They've since stained so I stopped using them

I've not had any permanent stains. They come off with hot water / soap or in the dishwasher.

I don't have that problem but not thrilled with results of cleaning. Is dirty container in securely? Happy Thanksgiving!!

Fill the sink with a bit of bleach water, and let it soak. I have gotten all the stains off of mine that way!

I personally have not had any issue of residue on mine, so not really sure what to advise you except maybe try vinegar/water solution and wipe it down. Good luck and maybe another member can help.

Mine started discoloring also. I wish I could help you but I haven't been able to clean mine as well.
