How To Keep Your Ember Mug Clean

Whether you just got one or you’re a longtime user, I’m sharing how to clean your Ember mug to make sure it’s fresh every single day.

If you’re like me, you probably can’t imagine starting your day without a cup of coffee. And if you’re also a proud owner of an Ember mug, you know just how magical it is to have your coffee at the perfect temperature, sip after sip. But let’s be real – maintaining that Ember mug and keeping it clean can be a bit of a challenge, because there’s no such thing as tossing it in the dishwasher. Don’t worry, though – I’ve got you covered with my foolproof guide to keeping your Ember mug sparkling clean.

How To Keep Your Ember Mug Clean

With just a little bit of regular maintenance and TLC, you can enjoy your perfectly heated coffee in a mug that looks and feels brand new every time.

Daily Rinse: First things first, make it a habit to rinse your Ember mug after each use. This simple step will prevent any stubborn residue from building up and keep your mug looking and smelling fresh. I just rinse it under the faucet right before I put it back on the charging coaster.

Hand Wash Only: While it may be tempting to toss your Ember mug in the dishwasher for a quick clean, trust me – don’t do it. The sensitive electronic components of the Ember mug are not dishwasher safe and can be damaged by the heat and water. Stick to hand washing with mild dish soap and warm water instead.

Gentle Scrubbing: For those pesky coffee stains that just won’t budge, a gentle scrub with a soft sponge or cloth should do the trick. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scrubbing pads, as they can scratch the surface of your mug.

Deep Clean: Every once in a while, it’s a good idea to give your Ember mug a thorough deep clean to remove any buildup of oils and residue. To do this, fill your mug with warm water and a teaspoon of baking soda, then let it sit for an hour or two. After soaking, empty the mug, rinse it out thoroughly, and give it a final wash with soap and water. If you have any stuck-on smells, you can do this process with baking soda and white vinegar, making sure to wash it thoroughly with soap and warm water afterward.

Dry Thoroughly: After washing, be sure to dry your Ember mug completely before using it again or storing it away. Leaving any moisture inside the mug can lead to mold and mildew growth, which is definitely not what you want in your morning coffee.

Handle with Care: Always handle your Ember mug with care to avoid any accidental bumps or drops. While the mug is designed to be durable, it’s still best to treat it gently to ensure it stays in top condition for years to come.
