Learn the safe way to clean your TAKE OFF Tumbler—hand wash with mild soap, avoid the dishwasher, and use the removable fruit strainer for deep cleaning. Keep it spotless without ruining the vacuum insulation.
Quick answer
Hand wash your TAKE OFF Tumbler with warm water and mild dish soap. Never put it in the dishwasher or use abrasive scrubbers, as they can damage the double-wall vacuum insulation and exterior finish.
Why the dishwasher is risky
The high heat and harsh detergents in a dishwasher can break the seal that maintains the tumbler's vacuum insulation, reducing its ability to keep drinks hot or cold. The removable fruit strainer may also warp or discolor over time.
When to use the fruit strainer
The TAKE OFF Tumbler comes with a removable fruit strainer for infusing water. If you use it, rinse the strainer immediately after each use and give it a weekly soak in a vinegar solution (1 part white vinegar to 3 parts water) to prevent mineral buildup and odors.
Step-by-step cleaning guide
- Rinse immediately after use: Empty any leftover liquid and rinse the tumbler and lid with warm water. This prevents stains and odors from setting in. Don't let coffee or tea sit overnight—it makes scrubbing much harder.
- Hand wash with mild soap: Fill the tumbler with warm water and a few drops of mild dish soap. Use a soft sponge or bottle brush to clean the interior and lid. Avoid steel wool or abrasive pads. Check that the soap is non-abrasive and free of bleach or citrus oils.
- Clean the fruit strainer separately: Remove the strainer and wash it with the same soapy water. For stubborn residue, soak it in a vinegar solution for 15 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. The strainer is dishwasher-safe in the top rack, but hand washing is gentler.
- Dry completely before storing: Turn the tumbler upside down on a drying rack. Leave the lid off and the strainer separate until every part is bone dry. This prevents mold and mildew. Never seal the lid on a damp tumbler—trapped moisture can cause odors.
