Your stainless steel tumbler or bottle is more than just a stylish drinkware option—it’s an investment in durability, sustainability, and convenience. To keep it looking and performing like new, proper care is essential. Whether you’re sipping hot coffee on your morning commute or enjoying iced tea on the back patio in front of a sunset, these care tips will help you extend the life of your tumbler and maintain its quality.

Check Dishwasher Compatibility
Many stainless steel tumblers are now dishwasher safe, but it’s always a good idea to double-check the manufacturer’s guidelines. While the dishwasher may save time, it could potentially damage finishes or seals on certain tumblers. When in doubt, opt for handwashing to preserve the longevity of your drinkware.
2. Avoid Abrasive Scrubbers
To keep your tumbler’s surface smooth and scratch-free, use a soft sponge or brush when cleaning. Abrasive scrubbers can damage the stainless steel and lids, compromising both the aesthetic and functionality of your tumbler.
3. Deep Clean Regularly
Even with regular cleaning, odors and stains can develop over time (we're looking at you coffee). To deep clean:
- Mix warm water with baking soda and a splash of vinegar.
- Soak your tumbler and lid for 15-20 minutes.
- Rinse thoroughly to remove any residue.
This simple method leaves your tumbler fresh and odor-free.
Also, don't forget to disassemble those lids and get into all their nooks and crannies!
4. Store with the Lid Off
After washing and drying your tumbler, store it with the lid off to prevent any trapped moisture from causing musty smells. Proper airflow helps keep your tumbler fresh and ready for your next use.
Why Proper Care Matters
Investing in quality stainless steel tumblers is a sustainable choice, and caring for them properly ensures they last for years to come. Not only does this reduce waste, but it also saves you money in the long run. Plus, a well-maintained tumbler always looks great and performs reliably, whether you’re at home, work, or on the go.
