There are two silicon seals in your OmieBox UP. There is one large rectangular seal that goes around the perimeter of the box. The other is a round O-ring that goes around your thermos lid. Both need to be removed daily for cleaning. Wash in warm soapy water and let dry completely. Without daily cleaning, silicon is highly prone to mold growth which is irreversible and requires the part to be completely replaced. No biggie, we all get busy and forget sometimes. Should mold grow, just come to our website to buy spare seals – we’ll keep plenty in stock for you.
