The Do’s and Don’ts of Tumbler Care

If you're anything like us, your tumbler goes everywhere with you—morning coffee runs, road trips, the gym, the office, your kid’s soccer game… maybe even the occasional bubble bath. It’s basically a loyal sidekick that keeps your drinks at the perfect temperature all day long.

But even a mighty tumbler like the Beast needs a little TLC to keep it looking shiny and performing like a champ for years to come.

So let’s dive into the ultimate do’s and don’ts of tumbler care to make yours last basically forever.

1. DO Give It a Quick Rinse After Every Use

Before you toss it into your gym bag and forget about it until next week (we see you), give it a quick rinse with warm water. A fast swish helps keep odors and stains from settling in—especially if you're drinking coffee, tea, or that mysterious green smoothie you promised you'd start liking.

2. DON’T Leave It Sitting With Liquid Overnight (Especially Dairy 😬)

We’ve all done it… that half-finished iced coffee you swore you’d drink later. But letting liquid sit too long—especially milky drinks—can lead to nasty smells and stubborn stains. Empty it out and give it a rinse before bed.

3. DO Clean the Lid Thoroughly (Like, Really Thoroughly)

You know that little slider on the lid? Yeah… you should take the time to clean it properly. Pop the lid off and then soak it in warm soapy water or give it a scrub with a bottle brush. Bonus points for doing this once a week.

4. DON’T Use Bleach or Harsh Cleaners

Let’s keep things gentle, shall we? Bleach and abrasive cleaners can damage the stainless steel, mess with the vacuum seal, and leave behind weird tastes. Stick with mild dish soap, baking soda, or white vinegar for deep cleans. Your tumbler—and your taste buds—will thank you.

5. DO Deodorize It Naturally

Does your tumbler smell like yesterday’s latte? Try this trick: Add a tablespoon of baking soda and a splash of vinegar, let it fizz, then fill with hot water and let it soak for 15 minutes. Rinse thoroughly, and boom—funk be gone.

6. DON'T Store It With the Lid On

When not in use, let your tumbler breathe! Storing it with the lid on can trap moisture and lead to a musty smell. Leave the lid off and let air flow do its thing. Fresh and ready for action at a moment’s notice.

7. DO Treat the Exterior With Care

Yes, your Beast is built like a tank—but it still appreciates a gentle touch. Dropping it from a cliff or dragging it behind your truck might not technically break it, but it’ll probably scuff the powder coating. If you want that sleek finish to last, try not to treat it like a dodgeball.

Final Sip ☕

Caring for your tumbler isn’t rocket science. Just a few simple habits can make a world of difference in how it looks, performs, and smells. Treat it right, and it’ll stick with you through a lifetime of coffee-fueled mornings, iced tea afternoons, and wine-in-the-backyard evenings.
