Lets start with the lid
We know how annoying lingering coffee stains can be; even with immediate aftercare of your Ecoset Tumbler, Stroller or travel mug lid, some staining may occur over time with regular use. We recommend cleaning your Ecoset lid daily to prevent bacteria, mould, and other germ build-ups; however, staining does not mean your Ecoset lid is dirty. If it has been a while since you’ve deep cleaned your lids, don’t worry, we have a quick, easy, and effective solution for you!
Follow these easy steps below:
- Carefully disassemble your slide Lid: carefully remove your slider lid, and gently remove your rubber gasket from the rim of your Lid. See the video here on how to do this without damaging or forcing your slide component:
- If you find it difficult to get the slide component out we sometimes use the handle of a spoon or chopstick to help pop it out.
- Place your lid pieces, including rubber gaskets in a bowl and fill about halfway with warm or hot water soapy water.
- Give the silicone pieces a little scrub with a small brush. We sometimes use a toothbrush
- Let the lid steep for a while. Take them out and rinse.
- Let them dry on a kitchen towel or tea towel, re-assemble them, and pop them back on your lid!
