Quick answer
Rinse your Fellow Matte White Move Mug with warm water immediately after each use, then wash it gently with mild soap and a soft sponge. Avoid abrasive cleaners and harsh scrubbing to keep the matte white finish looking clean and stain-free.
Why matte white needs a gentler routine
Matte finishes hide water spots well but can trap coffee oils and pigment more readily than glossy surfaces. White shows those marks sooner, so a quick rinse beats a deep scrub later. The 12oz Fellow Mug is designed for easy handling, so a simple daily wash fits naturally into your coffee break.
When to deep clean instead of just rinse
If you notice a faint brown ring or a dull patch that a normal wash does not remove, it is time for a deeper clean. Skip this step if the mug already looks and smells fresh; over-cleaning with strong solutions can wear down the matte exterior over time.
Step-by-step care for your Fellow Matte White Move Mug
- Rinse right after use: Empty any leftover coffee and rinse the mug with warm water as soon as you finish drinking. This removes most surface oils before they dry. If you can't rinse immediately, at least fill the mug with warm water and let it sit until you can wash it.
- Wash with mild soap and a soft sponge: Use a gentle dish soap and a non-abrasive sponge or cloth. Avoid scouring pads, steel wool, or cleaners containing bleach or citrus, which can dull the matte finish. Check the sponge: if it feels rough, it's too harsh for the matte exterior.
- Pay attention to the rim and handle: Coffee residue often collects around the rim and where the handle meets the body. Wipe these areas gently with soapy water and a soft brush if needed. A soft toothbrush works well for reaching tight corners without scratching.
- Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately: Rinse with clean water to remove all soap residue, then dry with a soft towel. Air-drying can leave water spots, especially on matte white. Hand drying is the easiest way to keep the matte white looking uniform.
- Deep clean monthly or when stains appear: For stubborn stains, soak the mug in a mixture of warm water and a small amount of baking soda for 15–20 minutes, then wash as usual. Do not use vinegar or acidic cleaners, as they may affect the finish. If the stain persists after one soak, repeat once; avoid scrubbing hard.
- Store clean and dry: Store your mug upside down or in a dry cupboard to prevent dust and moisture buildup. Avoid stacking heavy items on top of it. A dry mug is less likely to develop odors or stains between uses.
