Quick answer
Hand wash your Yule Cat Mug with mild dish soap and a soft sponge to protect the festive design. Avoid abrasive scrubbers and the dishwasher to keep the art vibrant.
Why hand washing matters for printed mugs
The Yule Cat Mug features a detailed design by artist Saffron Aurora. Dishwasher cycles and harsh scrub pads can gradually wear down the printed surface, making the colors look faded or scratched. Hand washing gives you control and keeps the art crisp for seasons to come.
How to care for your Yule Cat Mug
- Rinse immediately after use: Rinse the mug with warm water right after finishing your drink. This prevents residue from coffee, tea, or milk from drying and bonding to the ceramic. Don't let the mug sit unrinsed overnight — dried stains are much harder to remove.
- Hand wash with mild soap and a soft sponge: Apply a drop of mild dish soap to a soft sponge or cloth. Gently scrub the inside, rim, and handle. Avoid steel wool or abrasive pads that can scratch the design. If the design shows wear, switch to a microfiber cloth for the outer surface.
- Dry with a lint-free towel: Pat the mug dry with a clean, lint-free dish towel. Air drying is fine, but towel drying prevents water spots on the colored rim and handle. Water spots are harmless but can dull the finish — a quick buff with a dry cloth restores shine.
