Quick answer
Hand-wash the DayBreak Café Latte Cup and Stillness Saucer with mild soap and a soft sponge to preserve the double-wall vacuum insulation and non-slip silicone base.
Why hand-washing matters for double-wall insulation
The DayBreak Café Latte Cup uses double-wall vacuum insulation to keep your drink hot or chilled. Dishwasher cycles can expose the cup to high heat and harsh detergents that may gradually weaken the vacuum seal. Hand-washing avoids that risk and helps the insulation perform as intended for years.
The Stillness Saucer has a non-slip silicone base designed for a quiet, stay-still landing. Dishwasher heat and abrasive scrubbing can degrade silicone over time, making it less effective at gripping surfaces. Gentle hand-washing keeps the base intact and functional.
What about stains and odors?
Coffee, tea, and cocoa can leave stains or lingering smells inside the cup. A quick soak with warm water and a tablespoon of baking soda (or a drop of mild dish soap) for 15–20 minutes usually lifts residues without scrubbing. Rinse thoroughly afterward.
Avoid bleach or abrasive cleaners. They can scratch the interior finish and leave a chemical taste that’s hard to rinse out completely.
Step-by-step care routine
- Rinse immediately after use: Empty the cup and rinse with warm water to remove residue before it dries. This prevents stains from setting and makes the next clean easier. Don’t let coffee or tea sit overnight—dried stains require more scrubbing and can dull the finish.
- Hand-wash with mild soap and a soft sponge: Use a small amount of mild dish soap and a non-abrasive sponge or cloth. Gently clean the inside, outside, and the saucer, paying attention to the rim and base. Avoid steel wool or scrub pads. Check the silicone base for trapped debris after washing—rinse it separately to keep the non-slip surface clean.
- Dry thoroughly before storing: Wipe with a lint-free towel and let both pieces air-dry completely on a dish rack. Moisture trapped inside the cup or under the saucer can cause odors or mildew over time. Store the cup and saucer separately or with a soft cloth between them to prevent scratches on the finish.
