I own this one and I'm wondering if anyone has found a way to clean inside the lid? Mine traps liquids inside the lid and that's kind of gross.

The best way is to shake it and tap it on a paper towel and let it air dry between uses. Otherwise as you might have noticed it will drip on you.

It's not bad. The inside of the lid is plastic with a rubber gasket that comes out easily. I've never had problems getting it clean.

If you diligently clean the lid every time by opening the lid and running hot water through it or soaking it in hot water for like ten to twenty seconds and just drain it. My works great and stays cleaner than the old lid. Definitely! ! !

I have had mine for almost a year and have had no problems with smell or absorbing liquids. I do however clean mine once a week as a weekly cleaning for my hedgehog

Mine has started doing the same thing, only it worked really well for a few months. I think it's because I wiped the inner circle on the bottom, which the instructions say not to do. I did it lightly, because I want it clean, but apparently, this ruins the unit! VERY frustrating because now I have to buy a new one!

In general, it is very easy to clean. Pop the top off, dump everything in the trash, and wipe it out. The only part that is sort of gross is the part under the water bottle. It gets sort of disgusting, but is still not difficult to clean - just sort of yuck.

I just purchased one of these and had the same question. Why does this happen? I wish I would have seen your comment BEFORE I purchased. ALready seems like such a hassle to clean every day and the cute little brush at the end of the scoop doesn't help.

it happens but i don't find the need to clean it every time...unless yours is a particularly leaky one, try cleaning it once a week or even every two weeks...longer than that might be funky but i've had no problem with waiting a couple of weeks to remove and clean...try it.fs

Thats not good! We bought it and have used it a lot - and no problems. If you got it from Amazon, have you contacted them first to see it you go through them or Weber? Have you cleaned it off with a brush? Maybe its clogged.

Be sure that you've gotten the lid properly screwed on to the mug.... the threads can get crossed as the metal of the mug is harder than the plastic of the lid. Also, be sure that the interior knob is tightened down properly (this is the thing you can unscrew to clean out the interior of the lid... ). If all that is good, i'd have to say you have a defective unit. Mine doesn't leak a drop.

Yeah I've been using it and it cleans well enough, I think its not AS NICE as other versions I've used to clean... the abrasive and the liquid are annoyingly separated most of the time... so I put it in a plastic bag and make sure that both the abrasive and liquid are accounted for. Hope that helps

The inside of the lid is hard to clean. So, I put mine in the dishwasher. Eliminated the problem. Hubby loves the cup.

Mine leaks too! I used it once (so far) and the liquid stared to leak right on out. I just contacted the seller and am waiting to hear back. I don't know if the one piece jar is such a good idea. ugh

I have the same problem because I don't screw on the lid. The lid is hard to clean with all the plastic parts attached to it so I just pour the coffee in cup without it. Since it spills out, I pour it over the sink when I want coffee then set it down on a paper towel. POOR DESIGN!!

Like, dirt? I dropped mine in some minor dirt, and it was fine. Also, I dropped it a lot of times in different places and it was still fine. Not sure about liquids tho. Never got it wet. Wouldn't recommend it tho. lol

So far... I have not had this problem with my (4) keepers. When I just looked at one of mine, I noticed that there is a groove in the seal that must fit OVER an inner "ridge" in the top of the lid. It kind of 'snaps' onto that ridge when it is on right. You may not be getting the groove on the ridge properly. If that does not correct the problem, then you may want to return it for a new one. I have used one of mine for almost 2 years and have had no problems.

I, too, put hot water with a dab of dawn inside and screw the lid on, shake shake shake and open the button to pour out the sudsy water. I then unscrew the top and use q-tips to clean the grooves and bits of the lid. I have owned 2 of these mugs for a few years now and LOVE them. I tried using a bottle brush in the lid but couldn't reach the gunk well enough, hence the q-tips.
