Quick answer

Hand wash your MiiR 16oz Tall Boy cup with mild soap and a soft sponge, or use the top rack of the dishwasher for occasional convenience. For tough coffee stains, a baking soda paste works best.

While the MiiR 16oz Tall Boy cup is labeled top-rack dishwasher safe, hand washing extends the life of the stainless steel finish and prevents any potential damage from high heat or harsh detergents. The cup's simple single-wall design makes hand washing quick and effective.

If you do use the dishwasher, always place it on the top rack away from the heating element. Avoid bleach and abrasive cleaners, as they can scratch the surface or leave a chemical residue.

Removing stubborn coffee or tea stains

Stainless steel can stain over time, especially with dark beverages. For coffee or tea residue, create a paste with baking soda and a few drops of water, then gently scrub with a soft sponge. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately to prevent water spots.

Do not use steel wool or harsh scouring pads, as they can scratch the stainless steel and create crevices where bacteria can hide.

Step-by-Step Cleaning Guide

  1. Rinse immediately after use: As soon as you finish your drink, rinse the cup with warm water to prevent residue from drying and sticking. This is especially important for coffee or sugary beverages. A quick rinse now saves scrubbing later.
  2. Hand wash with mild soap: Fill the cup with warm water and add a drop of mild dish soap. Use a soft sponge or bottle brush to clean the interior and exterior. Pay extra attention to the rim and bottom where buildup often occurs. Avoid abrasive sponges to keep the stainless steel smooth.
  3. Remove stains with baking soda paste: For coffee or tea stains, mix 2 tablespoons of baking soda with enough water to form a paste. Apply it to the stained areas and gently scrub with a soft sponge. Let it sit for 5 minutes if stains are stubborn, then rinse thoroughly. This method is safe and won't scratch the cup.
  4. Dry completely before storing: After rinsing, dry the cup with a lint-free cloth or let it air dry upside down on a dish rack. Storing the cup while still damp can lead to water spots or a musty odor. A dry cup stays fresh and spot-free.
  5. Dishwasher use (top rack only): If you choose the dishwasher, place the cup on the top rack away from the heating element. Use a gentle cycle and avoid high heat drying. Remove promptly after the cycle ends to prevent water spots. Hand washing is gentler, but the dishwasher is fine for occasional use.
