Quick Answer

For best results, wash your Klean Kanteen 16oz Pint Cup by hand with warm soapy water, though the cups are dishwasher safe. Use a soft sponge and baking soda paste to tackle stubborn stains.

While your 16oz Pint Cup is dishwasher safe, hand washing with a mild detergent helps preserve the stainless steel finish and prevents water spots. The cups are lightweight and easy to clean, making a quick rinse after each use a simple habit.

If you prefer the convenience of a dishwasher, place the cups on the top rack to minimize exposure to high heat and harsh detergents. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers that can scratch the surface.

Dealing with Stains and Odors

Coffee, tea, or tomato-based drinks can leave stains inside the cup. A paste of baking soda and water works well to lift discoloration without scratching the stainless steel. For lingering odors, a rinse with white vinegar followed by a thorough wash removes smells effectively.

Always dry the cups immediately after washing to prevent water spots, especially if you live in an area with hard water.

Step-by-Step Cleaning Guide

  1. Rinse Immediately After Use: Rinse the cup with warm water right after drinking to prevent residue from drying. This is especially important for coffee, tea, or sugary drinks. Set a habit of rinsing as soon as you finish to reduce scrubbing time later.
  2. Wash with Warm Soapy Water: Use a soft sponge or cloth with mild dish soap and warm water. Scrub the inside and outside, then rinse thoroughly. Avoid steel wool or abrasive pads that can scratch the surface. Check for any remaining residue by running your finger along the interior after rinsing.
  3. Remove Stubborn Stains with Baking Soda: Make a paste of baking soda and water, apply it to stained areas, and let it sit for 10 minutes. Gently scrub with a soft sponge, then rinse well. For tough odors, add a splash of white vinegar to the paste and rinse thoroughly.
  4. Dry and Store Properly: Dry the cups with a clean towel right after washing, or allow them to air dry completely before stacking. This prevents water spots and keeps the cups ready for your next adventure. Store the cups with lids off to allow airflow and avoid trapped moisture.
