Unsuitable beverages:

  • Carbonated drinks such as soda are absolutely not suitable for use in thermos cups, because it may cause excessive internal pressure and cause the drink to spray out.

  • Strongly acidic beverages, such as grapefruit juice, orange juice and other fruit juices or lactic acid drinks, should not be served in thermos cups, otherwise the drinks will easily deteriorate.

The amount of beverage affects the seal:

  • Do you often encounter hot drink spills? In fact, it is not advisable to add too much liquid. It is recommended to add 1 to 2 cm below the mouth of the cup/pot to prevent the plastic or rubber at the mouth of the cup from being immersed in hot liquid for a long time, which will accelerate aging and hardening and affect its sealing. At the same time, it can also prevent scalding caused by hot drinks spilling when fastening the lid.

Tips for cleaning and maintaining thermos cups and kettles:

If you want your thermos cup and thermos jug to last longer, please pay attention to the following points when cleaning:

  • Be careful of plastic mold: After each use, especially when the container is not filled with clean water, it should be thoroughly cleaned and dried to avoid stains or pigment residue, and to prevent plastic or rubber materials from mold and discoloration due to uncleanliness. Since the gaps in the cup lid are usually difficult to clean, be sure to clean them carefully. You can disassemble the cup lid and the sealing rubber ring for cleaning. After drying, be sure to properly put the sealing rubber ring back in place to prevent leakage.
  • Dishwasher cleaning is not recommended: Unless otherwise specified on the product, the mug or jug ​​should not be placed in the dishwasher to avoid damage.
  • Avoid chlorine-containing cleaners: Since chlorides can damage stainless steel surfaces, you should not use bleach or cleaners containing chlorine to clean your mugs and jugs.
  • Make good use of baking soda: Baking soda is a good helper for home cleaning. If your thermos or flask emits an odor, you can use hot water with a teaspoon of baking soda to soak it for half an hour to an hour, then rinse it clean.
  • Sponges, soft cloths, soft brushes, etc. are all ideal cleaning tools. On the contrary, try to avoid using sponges, wire brushes or hard brushes to avoid scratching the inner tank.
