Quick answer
Clean your drinkware by hand with mild soap and warm water, avoid abrasive scrubbers, and dry it immediately to prevent spots and cracks.
Why hand washing is better than the dishwasher
Dishwasher cycles can expose glass and plastic drinkware to high heat and harsh detergents, which may cause clouding, scratches, or warping over time. Hand washing gives you control over temperature and pressure, preserving the finish and clarity of your cups and pint glasses.
Special care for collapsible or portable cups
The Port-a-Pint is designed to collapse into a compact case, making it ideal for on-the-go use. Its folding mechanism and plastic construction require gentle handling—avoid twisting or forcing it during cleaning, and never put it in the dishwasher. Rinse it thoroughly after each use to prevent residue buildup in the folds.
Step-by-step cleaning guide
- Rinse immediately after use: Run warm water through the drinkware to remove leftover liquid and particles. This prevents stains and odors from setting. Don't let residue dry inside—rinsing now saves scrubbing later.
- Wash with mild soap and a soft sponge: Apply a drop of dish soap to a non-abrasive sponge or cloth. Gently scrub the inside and outside, paying attention to rims and crevices. Avoid steel wool or scouring pads. Check for hidden spots inside collapsible cups; a bottle brush can reach tight folds.
- Rinse and dry thoroughly: Rinse all soap off with warm water. Dry with a lint-free towel or let it air dry upside down on a clean rack. Moisture left inside can cause mold or water spots. For portable cups, remove the storage case and dry it separately to avoid trapping dampness.
