I can corroborate that--my dedicated spice grinder (as opposed to my
dedicated mustard grinder) has a clouded lid due to cloves. If you grind
dry rice in it a couple of times it helps remove a bit of the clove oil so
that other spices don't end up with an air of cloves about them, but it is
permanently clouded.
In my defense I didn't know that cloves would do that, otherwise I would
have ground them in the stone mortar.
