Plastic liner not fully pressed / sealed
If the lining isn’t snug, air can sneak in → cloudy ice at the bottom.
Tip: Press the liner firmly and make sure it’s sealed.
CLEAR ICE STARTS WITH THE DETAILS.
If your ice looks cloudy, bubbly, or only clear on top, it doesn’t mean your mold is faulty —it means one key step needs adjusting.
MOST COMMON REASONS ICE TURNS CLOUDY
Understanding these helps your ice clarity.
Using distilled or purified water
Too “clean” water can create tiny needle-like bubbles → cloudy ice.
Best choice: Cold filtered or mineral water.
Freezer too cold / freezing too fast
Rapid freezing traps air and creates cloudiness.
Ideal setting: Around −10°C (14°F) with slow freezing for 16-24 hours.
THE SIMPLE WAY TO MAKE CLEAR ICE
Step 1 — Press the lining and seal the mold
Make sure it sits flat and fully in place.
Step 2 — Add water
Fill slowly. Stop before the top edge.
Step 3 — Insert the mold and freeze slowly
Slowly lower the mold into the water.
Place it flat in the freezer and leave it undisturbed.
That’s it. No tricks. No science class.
First Try Not Perfect? That’s Okay.
Clear ice isn’t instant.
Your freezer, water, and setup all play a role.

batch after making one small adjustment.
