Quick Answer
Hand wash your Drift Blue 14oz Highball with mild soap and warm water, and avoid abrasive scrubbers to protect the weighted base and double-wall insulation.
Why Hand Washing Is Best
The MiiR Highball features a weighted base made from post-industrial recycled metals and double-wall insulation. Dishwasher cycles can expose these materials to high heat and harsh detergents, potentially weakening the bond or causing clouding over time. Hand washing keeps the glass clear and the base secure.
Avoiding Abrasives and Harsh Chemicals
Steel wool, scouring pads, and bleach-based cleaners can scratch the glass surface or dull the metal base. Stick to a soft sponge or cloth. If you need extra cleaning power, a paste of baking soda and water works gently.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I put the Drift Blue 14oz Highball in the dishwasher?
MiiR recommends hand washing. Dishwasher heat and detergents may damage the double-wall insulation and the metal base over time. Stick to hand washing for longevity.
How do I remove stubborn stains or cloudiness?
Soak the glass in warm water with a drop of mild dish soap for 10 minutes, then gently scrub with a soft sponge. For mineral deposits, use a 1:1 vinegar-water soak, then rinse thoroughly. Vinegar soaks remove hard water spots without harsh chemicals.
Can I use ice or hot liquids in the Highball?
Yes. The double-wall insulation keeps cold drinks cold and hot drinks hot. The glass is designed for both, but avoid sudden temperature changes (e.g., pouring boiling water into a chilled glass) to prevent thermal shock. Allow the glass to come to room temperature before extreme fills.
How do I care for the weighted metal base?
Dry the base immediately after washing to prevent water spots. If tarnish appears, polish gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive metal polishes. Immediate drying prevents water spots on the metal base.
What about storing the Highball glass?
Store upright on a shelf. Avoid stacking other glasses inside it, as pressure can stress the insulation seal. If stacking is necessary, place a soft cloth between glasses. Store upright to protect the insulation seal.
