Is your Stanley cup really clean? Here's how to tell
You may think you're cleaning your Stanley The Quencher H2.0 FlowState tumbler by simply rinsing the cup and lid, but there's more to consider. Stanley cups are dishwasher safe, but you may want to do a more detailed clean by hand every once in a while, and especially if you don't have a dishwasher.
There's the straw, for one, which could use a scrub down with dish soap and a straw cleaning brush. Then there's the rotating cover on the lid. You need to fully pop it off and clean underneath to prevent the growth of mold. Videos of mold underneath these covers have recently gone viral on TikTok. You can clean this area with a small brush or just by hand with some dish soap. Squeeze the two small prongs on the cover to pop it out of the lid.
Stanley recommends cleaning its products with non-abrasive cleaners and sponges. Try a gentle dish soap, and do not use bleach. Shop some cleaning essentials, plus pick up a new reviewer-loved Stanley cup, ahead.
