Quick Answer
Hand wash your Coffee and Courage Milk Glass Mug with mild soap and a soft sponge to keep it looking its best. Avoid abrasive cleaners and steel wool to prevent scratches.
Why Hand Washing Matters for Milk Glass
Milk glass has a smooth, glossy finish that can be dulled by harsh scrubbing. The Coffee and Courage Milk Glass Mug is made of heat-resistant glass, but it’s not unbreakable. A gentle hand wash preserves the clarity and prevents tiny scratches that trap residue.
Dishwasher detergents and high heat can also weaken the glass over time, leading to cloudiness. Sticking to hand washing is the safest routine for long-term use.
Microwave Safety: What You Should Know
The mug is labeled microwave safe, so you can reheat your coffee or tea without worry. However, always remove any metal stir sticks or spoons before microwaving. Also, avoid sudden temperature changes—don’t pour boiling liquid into a cold mug or place a hot mug on a cold surface. Thermal shock can cause cracking.
How to Care for Your Coffee and Courage Milk Glass Mug
- Rinse Immediately After Use: Swish a little warm water inside the mug right after finishing your drink. This prevents coffee or tea stains from drying and sticking to the glass. Leaving residue to dry makes cleaning harder and can cause permanent staining.
- Hand Wash with Mild Soap and a Soft Sponge: Use a few drops of dish soap and a non-abrasive sponge or soft cloth. Gently scrub the inside and outside, paying attention to the rim and handle where oils collect. Abrasive pads or steel wool will scratch the milk glass surface, making it look dull.
- Dry with a Lint-Free Cloth: After rinsing, pat the mug dry with a soft, lint-free towel. Air drying is fine, but towel drying prevents water spots and keeps the glass sparkling. Water spots are cosmetic but can be avoided with a quick dry.
- Store Separately or with Padding: Place the mug in a cabinet where it won’t knock against other ceramics or glassware. If stacking, put a soft cloth or paper towel between mugs. Direct contact with hard surfaces can chip the rim or handle over time.
