To clean and maintain your Stanley Tumbler, here are some tips to help ensure its longevity:
Regular cleaning: Clean your tumbler after each use to prevent buildup of residue, stains, and odors. Empty any remaining liquid and rinse the tumbler with warm water immediately.
Avoid harsh chemicals: Do not use bleach, chlorine, abrasive cleaners, or strong detergents as they can damage the tumbler's finish. Stick to mild dish soap or a cleaning solution specifically designed for stainless steel.
Hand wash recommended: Although some Stanley Tumblers are dishwasher safe, it is generally recommended to hand wash them. Use a soft sponge or brush to gently scrub the inside and outside of the tumbler. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers that can scratch the surface.
Avoid extreme temperatures: Do not expose your tumbler to extreme temperatures. It is not suitable for use in the microwave, oven, or freezer. Extreme temperature changes can affect the insulation properties and damage the tumbler.
Inspect the lid and gasket: Regularly inspect the lid and gasket for any signs of wear, such as cracks or leaks. Clean the lid thoroughly, paying attention to the sealing gasket, to maintain a proper seal. Replace the lid or gasket if necessary.
Dry thoroughly: After washing, ensure that the tumbler is thoroughly dried before storing it. Moisture left inside the tumbler can lead to odor or mold growth over time.
Store with the lid off: When not in use, store your tumbler with the lid off to allow for air circulation and prevent any potential odor buildup.
Avoid impacts and drops: While Stanley Tumblers are durable, excessive impacts or drops can dent or damage the tumbler's structure and insulation properties. Handle your tumbler with care to avoid any unnecessary damage.
By following these tips, you can maintain the quality and extend the lifespan of your Stanley Tumbler.
