Quick answer
Clean your stainless steel ice cubes with mild soap and warm water after each use, and dry them thoroughly to prevent water spots and maintain their shine.
Why proper care matters
Stainless steel ice cubes are a reusable alternative to regular ice that won't water down your drink. But if you don't clean them regularly, they can develop odors or a dull finish. The fritz-kola 4er-set eiswürfel edelstahl is designed for repeated use, so a little routine care keeps them looking and performing their best.
Step-by-step cleaning and maintenance
- Rinse after each use: Immediately after using the cubes, rinse them under warm running water to remove any drink residue. This prevents sticky buildup. Don't let residue dry on the cubes, as it can become harder to remove.
- Wash with mild soap and warm water: Apply a drop of mild dish soap to a soft sponge or cloth and gently scrub each cube. Avoid abrasive pads or steel wool, which can scratch the surface. Check that all soap is rinsed off; leftover soap can affect the taste of your next drink.
- Dry completely before storing: Use a lint-free cloth to dry each cube thoroughly. Then leave them on a dish rack for a few minutes to air dry. Moisture trapped in the interior can cause cloudiness or odors. Storing wet cubes in an airtight container can lead to musty smells.
- Deep clean every few weeks: Fill a bowl with equal parts white vinegar and water, and soak the cubes for 10 minutes. Rinse well and dry. This removes any mineral deposits or stubborn odors. Do not boil the cubes or put them in the dishwasher, as high heat can damage the internal cooling liquid.
