Here’s a Clear Four-Step Method To Clean a Travel Mug

To clean a travel mug, rinse it with warm water, scrub with soapy water (using a brush if needed), rinse thoroughly, and air-dry completely before reuse—for tough stains, try baking soda or vinegar.

Rinse with Warm WaterStart by rinsing the mug with warm water to remove any leftover liquid or loose residue.

Wash with Soapy Water

Use a soft sponge or bottle brush with mild dish soap to scrub the interior, lid, and mouthpiece (if applicable). Pay extra attention to crevices where grime can build up.

Rinse ThoroughlyRinse all parts with clean water to ensure no soap residue remains, which can affect taste.

Air Dry CompletelyLet the mug and lid dry upside down on a rack or towel to prevent moisture buildup and odors.
