3 Simple Steps to Cleaning Your Staze Preserve
Your Staze Preserve is an essential tool for keeping your items fresh over time. But did you know that maintaining cleanliness is key to ensuring it works at its best? In this guide, we’ll walk you through 3 simple steps to clean your Staze Preserve. With just a few household items and some organic cotton swabs, you can extend its life and keep it functioning perfectly.
Why Cleaning Your Staze Preserve Is Important
Cleaning your Staze Preserve regularly helps maintain an airtight seal, keeping your items fresh and preventing dust, debris, and residue from building up. Over time, debris can affect how well the airtight seal works, which could reduce the quality of stored items. To keep your Staze Preserve working perfectly, follow these simple steps for cleaning.
Tools You Will Need:
- Rubbing alcohol (for a clean, residue-free wipe)
- Anti-static cloth (prevents dust and static buildup)
Staze organic cotton swabs (for precise cleaning in small crevices)
Step 1: Cleaning the Cap
The cap is critical to creating the airtight seal that keeps your stored items fresh. Here’s how to clean it:
- Use a Staze organic cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol to gently clean the O-ring (the small silicone ring around the edge of the cap). This removes any dust or debris that might compromise the seal.
- Wipe both the inside and outside of the cap with an anti-static cloth to prevent dust buildup.
Tip: Don’t soak the cap in alcohol, as it can damage the materials. Use swabs for precision cleaning
Step 2: Cleaning the O-Ring
The O-ring is crucial for maintaining the airtight seal. If it’s dirty or damaged, the freshness of your items could be compromised.
- Use a Staze organic cotton swab to clean around the O-ring and ensure it’s free from any dust or debris. A clean O-ring ensures optimal performance of the airtight seal.
Tip: Clean the O-ring regularly, especially when the cap feels difficult to seal.
Step 3: Cleaning the Base
The base of the Staze Preserve is where your items are stored, making it just as important to clean. Dirt, dust, and residue often accumulate here.
- Use a cloth dipped in rubbing alcohol to gently wipe the inside of the base, focusing on the threads and lip where debris tends to build up.
- Use the organic cotton swabs to ensure all threads are clear and clean of any buildup.
Tip: Ensure the base is completely dry before reassembling the unit to avoid moisture buildup.
Why You Should Never Soak the Cap in Alcohol
Avoid soaking the cap in rubbing alcohol, as this can weaken the silicone and damage the airtight seal. Instead, use cotton swabs and soft cloths for a gentle yet thorough clean, ensuring your Staze Preserve stays in top condition.
How Often Should You Clean Your Staze Preserve?
For daily users, it’s recommended to clean your Staze Preserve once a week. For less frequent users, cleaning every two weeks should suffice. Regular cleaning not only prevents residue buildup but also ensures that your items remain fresh and hygienic.
- Daily use: Clean once a week.
- Less frequent use: Clean every two weeks.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Using harsh chemicals: Stick with rubbing alcohol, as strong chemicals can degrade silicone and damage your Staze Preserve.
- Neglecting the O-ring: The O-ring is essential for an airtight seal. Keep it clean to avoid air leaks.
- Ignoring the base: Regularly clean the base to avoid dust buildup and ensure your items are stored in a clean environment.
Keep Your Staze Preserve in an Airtight Container
In addition to cleaning your Staze Preserve, storing it in an airtight vacuum-sealed jar can provide an extra layer of protection for your items. Airtight jars help prevent exposure to air, which can degrade the freshness of your preserved materials. When used with your clean Staze Preserve, it creates an optimal environment for long-term freshness.
Why Staze Organic Cotton Swabs Are Perfect for Cleaning
The Staze organic cotton swabs are specially designed for cleaning delicate areas in your Staze Preserve. Their precision ensures you can clean hard-to-reach spots without damaging any essential components, ensuring a longer lifespan for your unit.
