A good tumbler is an investment—whether it’s your go-to for morning coffee, a hydration companion, or a stylish statement piece. To keep it looking great and performing well, proper care is essential. At Tumblers Space, we believe in helping you make your tumblers last for years. Follow these tips to extend the life of your favorite drinkware.
1. Wash Your Tumbler Regularly
Frequent cleaning prevents stains, odors, and buildup.
-
How to Clean:
- Wash with warm, soapy water after each use.
- Use a soft sponge to avoid scratching the surface.
- Avoid: Leaving beverages inside for extended periods, especially coffee or tea, which can cause stubborn stains.
2. Hand Wash Instead of Using the Dishwasher
While some tumblers are labeled dishwasher-safe, hand washing is always gentler.
-
Why Hand Wash?
- Prolongs the lifespan of seals and insulation.
- Prevents decorative designs from fading or peeling.
- Tip: Use a bottle brush for hard-to-reach areas.
3. Keep the Lid Clean
Lids can trap moisture and residue, leading to unpleasant smells or mold.
-
How to Clean Lids:
- Detach any removable parts (like rubber gaskets).
- Soak in warm, soapy water and scrub gently.
- Rinse thoroughly to remove soap residue.
4. Avoid Harsh Chemicals and Abrasive Scrubbers
Using harsh cleaners can damage the finish or leave harmful residues.
- Recommended Cleaners: Mild dish soap or baking soda for stubborn stains.
- Avoid: Bleach, chlorine, or abrasive scrubbers that can scratch the surface.
5. Prevent Odors with Deep Cleaning
If your tumbler develops a smell, deep cleaning is the solution.
-
Steps for Odor Removal:
- Fill the tumbler with a mix of warm water and a tablespoon of baking soda or vinegar.
- Let it sit for 15–20 minutes.
- Rinse thoroughly and air dry.
6. Protect the Exterior Finish
To maintain your tumbler’s appearance, handle it with care.
- Avoid: Dropping or exposing it to harsh environments that could cause dents or scratches.
- Tip: Use a protective sleeve for extra grip and protection, especially for travel tumblers.
7. Store Your Tumbler Properly
When not in use, store your tumbler in a dry, clean space.
- Why It’s Important: Prevents mold or rust from developing in hidden areas.
- Tip: Keep the lid off to allow airflow and prevent moisture buildup.
8. Replace Worn-Out Parts
Over time, some tumbler components, like gaskets or seals, may wear out.
- What to Do: Check with the manufacturer for replacement parts. At Tumblers Space, we offer durable tumblers with easily replaceable components.
9. Avoid Extreme Temperatures
While tumblers are designed for hot and cold drinks, extreme temperature changes can compromise their insulation.
- Dos: Use for beverages within the recommended temperature range.
- Don’ts: Avoid putting your tumbler in the freezer or on a stovetop.
