What's the best way to clean the mug (frequency & cleaning products)? My basket and green plastic have become stained after a couple of months.

I have the same issue. I will clean my with soap and hot water every couple of days. And about once a month, I will let it soak in hot soapy water and give it a good scrub to get the stains out. Most of it does come off but its hard to get it out of the tiny corners

It's dishwasher safe. I rinse between uses and put it through the dishwasher on the top rack every week or so.

Does tis product stain easily? for example if you left a coffee mug wth a little coffee on bottom, will it leave a coffee stain forever? thanks!!

I use paper towels to scrap the clogged grounds from the filter when I need to use it again - I have two filter cups to fill up with my decaffeinated coffee in the mornings after breakfast daily! Good luck in cleaning yours thoroughly!!

I have had mine for 3 months now, cleaned it a month ago in the dishwasher, both parts of it. The green part was slightly deformed right away coming out of the dishwasher but went back to normal within an hour. I'll keep cleaning it in the dishwasher every other month.

We had the same problem. First i just dishwash soap and a brush to get it off. Didnt work. Then i out some hand soap on the stains, rubbed it in with my fingers, let it sit for an hour and then washed it off. All stains were gone!

I haven't had that problem yet with mine, but when I clean it I might try wiping it out with a cotton ball wetted with rubbing alcohol.

It's pretty easy to clean. I either throw it in the dishwasher or pour hot water in it with dish soap and shake it. Let it sit then rinse it out. I highly recommend it. It's a great coffee mug.

Don't soak the mug and clean it immediately after use, leather is holding good for me since past few months.

A little bit of dishwashing liquid mixed with warm water works well. One of our cleaners used scrubbing bubbles and it ruined the surface of the one we had.

My coworker bought one about the same time I did and her paint is about half gone on hers. Mine is in better shape it is just losing a little at the top and bottom of the mug. Overall, I love the mug! I don't mind at all if a little paint flakes off.

Looking for new spill-proof mug but after reading all the comments on how to clean, the lid and it's parts sound very much like the OXO spill proof mug. LOVED my OXO mug for being 100% spill proof and kept my coffee hot for 6+ hours but the lid was a pain to clean. Unscrew the center, remove the two rubber rings and I would soak in very diluted clorox cleanup, then use toothbrush, pipe-cleaner and Dawn to get in to those difficult areas, then rinsed in hot water multiple times, then reassemble. Both seem like a hassle to keep clean for a spill-proof mug. May I should forget spill-proof and just try not to be clumsy with my coffee mug.

Hmmm I haven't notice that to be a problem. I don't really soak it or run it through the dishwasher. I just get a soapy dishrag and wash it and rinse it right away.

Technically it is not. That being said - I have owned quite a few of these and generally run them through the dishwasher. However, my mugs have also all encountered an issue where the colored layer separates from the other layers - I'm willing to bet that is partly caused by dishwasher use.

I've had my kid's cup for about 3-4 years and have had to throw 2 away because the seal wore out. The inside of the lid and the rubber seal around the top of the cup can get gross, so they need to be washed well after each use. I use a baby bottle brush to clean the cup and the tiny brush that comes with it (the one used for nipples on a baby bottle) to clean the lid. For Coffee mugs you could try vinegar to clean the lid. I love these cups.

Nancy,I have been very happy with these mugs, at this point I have not used anything to clean them, they could use some TLC, I think that you can actually use Ketchup to clean them with, or lemon juice and baking soda or salt. They do have some tarnish not really green (not bad at all considering I have not specially cleaned them since buying) but I think it will come off with ketchup. They are great mugs I think they are a little bigger mugs which is nice.

I have owned three of these for about 3 years now. I hand wash mine daily but once in a while i put it in the dishwasher but I remove the rubber gasket before I put it in the dishwasher. Repetitive dishwasher washing will eventually start to remove any paint/graphics on the outside. Thorough hand washing is best. The nice thing with the lid is that you can press and pop out the small piece that slides back and forth to cover the sip opening and remove the gasket and thoroughly clean the pieces. If you soak the rubber gasket in a baking soda and water solution you can remove any coffee odor that might remain after washing. hope this helps. I have owned three of these for about 3 years now.

Clean everything first with soap & water. Fill the mug 1/2 full with white vinegar & carefully add a few teaspoons of baking soda (depending on the size of your mug). "Carefully" because it will react/expand & pour out all over if done too quickly. Add water until full. A better way to do it, if possible, is I separate my mug from the lid & put them both inside my French Press when cleaning it. Everything stainless steel comes out looking almost brand new, & all the seals etc are clean as well.
