Love the boxes but the problem is if you get soil/dirt on them it leaves a bit of a light brown stain. When you water the plants using any type of increased water pressure it pushes the soil out which leaves a mark on my white boxes. That is disappointing but I suppose if you purchase in the other dark colors this won’t happen. I took bleach to the surfaces to clean and that helped but it has been an ongoing battle if you want everything perfectly white.
