Keeping your thermos mug clean is essential for great-tasting drinks and long-term performance. But if your mug has an LED temperature display, you need to be a little careful about how you clean it. Here's everything you need to know.
What You'll Need
- Warm water
- Mild dish soap
- A soft bottle brush
- White vinegar (for deep cleaning)
- Baking soda (for odor removal)
Daily Cleaning (After Every Use)
- Rinse the mug with warm water immediately after use.
- Add a drop of mild dish soap and use a soft bottle brush to scrub the interior.
- Rinse thoroughly until no soap remains.
- Leave the lid off and allow to air dry completely before storing.
Cleaning the Lid with LED Display
Never submerge the lid in water. The LED display and touch sensor are not waterproof. Instead:
- Wipe the exterior of the lid with a damp cloth.
- Use a cotton swab dipped in water to clean around the display edges.
- Dry immediately with a soft cloth.
Deep Cleaning (Weekly)
Mix equal parts white vinegar and warm water, fill the mug halfway, and let it sit for 30 minutes. Rinse thoroughly. This removes mineral deposits and keeps the stainless steel fresh.
Removing Odors
Add a teaspoon of baking soda with warm water, shake gently, and let sit for 15 minutes before rinsing. Works perfectly for coffee or tea odors.
What to Avoid
- ❌ Dishwasher — damages insulation and the LED display
- ❌ Bleach or harsh chemicals — can corrode stainless steel
- ❌ Abrasive scrubbers — scratch the interior coating
- ❌ Submerging the lid — damages the LED electronics
Following these simple steps will keep your Hydriva Smart Thermos Mug performing like new for years to come.
