Tumbler Care Instructions
Welcome to the customer care section dedicated to stainless steel sublimation tumblers. This page provides essential instructions on how to properly care for your tumbler to ensure its longevity and maintain its vibrant designs. Understanding the correct usage and maintenance practices is crucial for maximizing the lifespan of your product.
Instructions to Follow:
1. Cleaning: It is recommended to hand wash your stainless steel tumbler with mild soap and warm water. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals that may damage the sublimation print. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
- Wash often: Some recommend cleaning your tumbler every day. The dark, damp interior of a tumbler can be a breeding ground for germs.
- Take apart: Before cleaning, take apart all the pieces, including the lid.
- Use hot, soapy water: Wash with warm, soapy water and a bottle-cleaning brush.
- Rinse thoroughly: Rinse all parts thoroughly with clean water.
- Dry completely: Allow all parts to dry completely before storing or using again.
- Clean hard-to-reach spots: Take apart the lid to clean hard-to-reach spots where moisture can collect.
- Use baking soda and vinegar: To clean the inside of the tumbler, you can add one or two teaspoons of baking soda and a generous amount of vinegar to the mug. The mixture will foam up and clean the inside of the mug.
2. Temperature Maintenance: These tumblers are designed to keep beverages hot or cold for extended periods. For optimal performance, preheat or pre-cool the tumbler by filling it with hot or cold water for a few minutes before adding your drink.
3. Storage: Store your tumbler in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as this may affect the integrity of the sublimation print.
4. Usage: These tumblers are suitable for both hot and cold beverages. However, it is advisable to avoid using them for carbonated drinks, as the pressure may cause leakage.
Instructions to Avoid:
1. Avoid Dishwasher Use: Do not place your stainless steel tumbler in the dishwasher, as the high temperatures and harsh detergents can damage the sublimation print and the tumbler itself. Handwashing is recommended over using the dishwasher, as the heat can damage the seals and compromise the tumbler's ability to keep things hot or cold.
2. Avoid abrasive cleaners: Don't use abrasive cleaners or scrubbers, as they can dull the finish.
2. Do Not Microwave: Microwaving your tumbler is not recommended. The stainless steel material is not microwave-safe and can cause damage to both the tumbler and the microwave.
3. Do Not Freeze: Avoid placing your tumbler in the freezer, as extreme cold can compromise the structural integrity of the stainless steel and may lead to warping or cracking.
4. Do Not Use for Hot Liquids Above 200°F: While the tumbler is designed for hot beverages, using liquids above 200°F may cause the tumbler to become excessively hot to the touch, posing a burn risk.
By adhering to these care instructions, you can ensure that your stainless steel sublimation tumbler remains in excellent condition, allowing you to enjoy its benefits for years to come. Proper maintenance not only preserves the aesthetic appeal of the tumbler but also contributes to sustainable practices by reducing waste associated with disposable drinkware.
Stainless steel is a non-toxic material that's considered safer to drink from than plastic or aluminum. It doesn't need a liner and won't impart a smell to coffee.
