Easy Tumbler Care Tips

1. Use Mild Soap, Not Harsh Chemicals

When cleaning your tumbler, stick to mild soap or eco-friendly cleaning products. Harsh chemicals like bleach can damage the inside and affect the taste of your drinks. You can also use natural cleaning solutions like vinegar or baking soda for tough stains, as they’re safe for both your tumbler and the environment.

2. Don’t Forget the Lid and Straw

The lid and straw are just as important as the tumbler itself! Be sure to clean them regularly using a brush to reach those hard-to-clean areas. The BriteLune Tumbler comes with a cleaning brush specifically designed to help you scrub the straw easily, making sure there’s no buildup inside.

3. Dry Thoroughly After Cleaning

After cleaning your tumbler, make sure it’s completely dry before storing it. Leaving it damp can cause mold or bad smells to develop. Leave the lid off and let it air dry or wipe it down with a clean towel. Drying your tumbler properly will keep it fresh and ready for your next drink.

4. Proper Storage

When you're not using your tumbler, store it in a cool, dry place. Don’t leave it in direct sunlight or in a hot car, as this can damage the insulation and reduce its ability to keep your drinks cold or hot. If you’re on the go, the BriteLune Tumbler is cup-holder friendly, so it’s easy to carry in your car or bag without worrying about leaks.
