Why
Most Glad containers are made of polypropylene (PP) or polyethylene, which can warp or degrade in high heat. The lids often have seals that may fail. However, some newer Glad containers are labeled dishwasher safe (top rack only).
How do you wash Glad container?
Hand wash with warm soapy water and dry thoroughly. If the container is labeled dishwasher safe, place it on the top rack away from heating elements.
