Quick Answer
To clean your Special Edition Owala tumbler, hand wash it with mild dish soap and warm water after each use, and give it a deeper clean weekly to keep the finish and performance at their best.
Why Special Edition Tumblers Need Extra Care
Special Edition Owala tumblers, like the Summer Paradise design, feature unique colors and finishes that make them stand out. While they're built for everyday use, the special coating can be more sensitive to harsh cleaning methods.
Using abrasive scrubbers or putting the tumbler in the dishwasher can dull the finish or cause fading over time. Gentle hand washing keeps the vibrant look intact while still getting the tumbler thoroughly clean.
Step-by-Step Cleaning Guide
- Rinse immediately after use: Empty any remaining liquid and rinse the tumbler with warm water right away. This prevents stains and odors from setting in. Don't let drinks sit for hours—it makes cleaning harder.
- Hand wash with mild soap: Fill the tumbler with warm water and a few drops of mild dish soap. Use a soft sponge or bottle brush to gently scrub the inside, outside, and lid. Avoid abrasive pads that can scratch the finish. Never use steel wool or harsh scouring pads.
- Pay attention to the lid and seals: Remove the lid and any gaskets if possible. Wash them in the same soapy water, using a small brush to clean crevices where mold can build up. Rinse all parts thoroughly. Check the seals regularly for grime—they're easy to overlook.
- Dry completely before storing: Shake off excess water and let all parts air dry upside down on a drying rack. Make sure the lid and gaskets are completely dry before reassembling to prevent mildew. Storing a damp tumbler can cause odors and damage.
- Deep clean weekly: Once a week, fill the tumbler with warm water and a tablespoon of baking soda. Let it sit for 15 minutes, then scrub and rinse thoroughly. This removes lingering flavors and keeps the interior fresh. Baking soda is a safe, non-abrasive option for regular deep cleaning.
