Abstract
A closure is provided with slots through which wash water can flow to wash food particles from the interthread space between the closure and a container, after the closure has been secured onto the container. At room temperature the washing slots are essentially closed to the ingress of dirt particles, but they open when the closure is heated so that water can flow through them and into the interthread space.
