Quick Answer
Hand wash your BrüMate Rise 18oz tumbler with warm soapy water, paying special attention to the lid and seal to keep it leakproof and odor-free.
Why Hand Washing Matters
The Rise 18oz is designed for bigger kids, but its leakproof lid and insulation need gentle care. Dishwasher cycles can be too harsh for the lid's seal and may affect the tumbler's ability to keep drinks cold longer.
Hand washing isn't just about cleanliness—it's about preserving the performance and lifespan of your tumbler. A little extra time at the sink means your Rise 18oz stays leakproof and fresh for years.
Tackling Stubborn Stains and Odors
If coffee or tea leaves a residue, avoid abrasive scrubbers that can scratch the stainless steel. Instead, use a soft sponge and a paste of baking soda and water to gently lift stains.
For lingering smells, a solution of white vinegar and water can help neutralize odors without leaving a chemical aftertaste. Rinse thoroughly afterward to keep your next drink tasting clean.
Step-by-Step Cleaning Guide
- Rinse Immediately: After each use, rinse the tumbler with warm water to remove leftover milk, juice, or coffee. This prevents residue from drying and sticking. Don't let the tumbler sit with liquid in it for hours—rinsing now saves scrubbing later.
- Hand Wash with Mild Soap: Fill the tumbler with warm water and a few drops of mild dish soap. Use a soft sponge or bottle brush to clean the inside and outside. Avoid abrasive pads that can scratch the surface. Check the bottom of the tumbler for any missed spots before rinsing.
- Clean the Lid and Seal: Remove the lid and wash it separately. Pay close attention to the rubber seal and the spout area, where grime can hide. Use a small brush or cotton swab to reach crevices. Inspect the seal for any debris or damage—this is key to keeping the lid leakproof.
- Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse the tumbler and lid with clean, warm water until no soap suds remain. Residual soap can affect the taste of your next drink. Do a final rinse with cool water to help remove any lingering soap film.
- Dry Completely: Air-dry the tumbler and lid upside down on a drying rack. Ensure the lid is fully dry before reassembling to prevent mold or mildew growth in the seal. If you're in a hurry, pat dry with a clean cloth, but always let the lid air-dry completely.
