I just received the Greenway 3 gallon water pitcher and cannot remove the plastic wrap. It is inside and unable to be removed? How can I get this off

If the twisting motions previously mentioned do not work I would try running water into the bottom hole or submerging it to allow the water to loosen the seal. I know I needed to do something like that to loosen mine but it's been so long that I can't remember if I ended up needing to actually submerge it.

I was in the same scenario too. That's really crazy how they pack it. You have to find someone who is strong to pull it out.

I had no problem with mine. The two parts are nested together but there's a hole in the base of each, so using these holes I gripped the base of one with my left hand and used my right hand to grip the base of the other and pulled. I could feel some resistance but they slipped apart fairly easily and I was good to go!

I did not have the difficulty you are having. I simply held it under my right arm tightly and twisted with my left hand. It came out right away. If you have already tried that, then I am not sure what will help. What about submerging it in water?

Just bring the whole thing to your sink and pour hot water from the bottom hole. After that, they should be very easy to separate.

Found this explanation on another website. I have not tried it, but offered for what it is worth: Take out the screen and black gasket out from the stem. You'll see a green plastic device and a small black rubber ring; they appear to be integrated into the base of the shower head and can't be removed. So what I did is use a common nail (I had some galvanized 10D 3 inch nails in the garage) and, using a hammer, gently punched a hole right into the center of the green plastic piece. Then, using a pair of tweezers, I was able to completely remove all of the green plastic pieces. Be careful that the pieces don't enter into the shower head itself. Put the screen back in place (this prevents particles in your water from entering and clogging the shower head) and screw the shower head back on.

Goo Gone works well and should not harm the plastic. Sometimes, scrubbing with a Scotch Brite sponge, dish soap, and hot water will remove it.

I wish I could help you but I can't. I purchased the decanters for gifts so I don't know whether or not the plastic stopper can be removed or not. Sorry

My pitcher cracked because I foolishly put it in the dishwasher a few times to remove unsightly tea stains. If your local housewares retailer no longer carries your model of Mr Coffee tea maker, I would check out some neighborhood garage or estate sales. A clorox and water soak should sanitize it sufficiently for safe use.

You can remove the plastic wrapping. It ships with the case to protect it from scuffs and scratches prior to reaching the customer.

I got the same issue at first. I managed to open it up this way: Hold the bottom plastic/clear at the point (the spout) with one finger in one hand, and your other hand is holding the the stainless/metal part, then pull the clear plastic part away from the stainless /metal part. Good luck. Hope it works for you.

I see your problem! I had to read the instructions. On the bottom there is a wavy piece of plastic, wavy for water, but it also makes a nice handle. Turn it counter-clockwise to open, remove, fill, turn clockwise to close. Easy, yes, once you know how!

I suppose you could try Goo Gone, but I don't know if it would harm the paint. I would try Un-du, a product you can get in crafting supply stores (even WalMart I think). It removes sticky without harming anything; I've used it on many different surfaces and never had any problem at all. It does need to reach the putty to loosen it -- perhaps you could lift the pitcher a tad, put un-du on the shelf, and push it underneath with a thin piece of acetate until it reaches the putty. You may need to repeat this, lifting the pitcher a little more each time it loosens a little more. Hope it works!

There is nothing to remove. Make sure the opening is slid open as that is that part you pull to close when disposing. You should be good to go from there. I hope this helped!

I've had the same problem! It's impossible to get the water out too! Could there be a missing gasket? If you get an answer, please let me know. Thanks!

I'm not sure you can. Did you "melt" yours in the dishwasher? I did that once, by not using the top rack, but I was still able to use it. I know that a lot of the "sports" water bottles have inserts now, and you might be able to find one that would match up with the screw rings on the cap. Other than that, one idea I was toying with before I found these pitchers was buying the plastic ice cubes that you keep in the freezer, and just dropping them into a pitcher. You can find them at places that sell bar supplies. Maybe they even have some that could go through the dishwasher (but use the top shelf this time!)! I'm not sure you can.

Take the rubber seal out and wash it also . Once open. I hope I was of some help to u. I had the same problem.

i have never taken the wrap off not knowing how well it would go back on, but I have never gotten the outside of the bottle that dirty that I felt I needed to remove it totally. I soak it in hot soapy water and lift the wrap and wash underneath it, rinse in hot water, and then let it dry.

I would use a clean, soft towel or cloth first. If that doesn't work, perhaps you might want to try plain tap water and a clean towel and cloth to remove it.
