Quick Answer
Hand wash your BrüMate champagne flute with mild soap and warm water, and clean the BevLock lid's seal regularly to keep it leak-proof. Avoid the dishwasher and abrasive scrubbers.
Why Hand Washing Is Best
BrüMate champagne flutes are double-wall insulated to keep your bubbly cold. The dishwasher's high heat and harsh detergents can damage the vacuum seal over time, reducing insulation performance. Hand washing is the safest method to preserve both the glass and the lid.
The BevLock Lid Needs Special Attention
The BevLock leak-proof lid has a silicone gasket that creates the seal. Food particles or residue can build up around the gasket, leading to leaks or odors. Regular cleaning of this area is essential for maintaining the lid's performance.
Step-by-Step Cleaning and Maintenance
- 1. Rinse Immediately After Use: Rinse the flute and lid with warm water right after drinking to prevent residue from drying and sticking. This makes the next steps easier. Don't let sparkling wine sit and dry inside the flute—sugar residue can be stubborn.
- 2. Hand Wash with Mild Soap: Fill a bowl or sink with warm water and a few drops of mild dish soap. Use a soft sponge or cloth to wash the flute interior and exterior. For the lid, gently clean the entire surface, paying attention to the locking mechanism. Avoid abrasive scrubbers or steel wool—they can scratch the finish and damage the lid's seal.
- 3. Clean the BevLock Lid Gasket: Remove the silicone gasket from the lid if possible (check your model). Wash it separately with soapy water, ensuring no debris is trapped. Rinse thoroughly. If the gasket is not removable, use a soft brush or toothpick to gently dislodge any residue from the groove.
- 4. Rinse and Dry Completely: Rinse all parts with clean warm water to remove any soap residue. Shake off excess water and let everything air dry upside down on a drying rack. Do not reassemble while wet. Moisture trapped under the gasket can cause mold or mildew—ensure it's fully dry before storing.
- 5. Inspect and Replace Parts as Needed: Periodically check the gasket and lid for wear, cracks, or deformation. If the lid doesn't seal properly, consider replacing it with a new BevLock lid or a replacement lid set. A damaged gasket can't be repaired—replace it to restore leak-proof performance.
