THINGS TO AVOID WHEN CLEANING YOUR CUPS

   steer clear of bleach

While bleach is a go-to for clothes washing and keeping your whites white, it will only do damage to your Greens Steel cup.

The very component that makes our steel stainless is easily stripped away by oxidizing agents like those found in bleach, making the cleaning technique actually counterproductive in this case. 

(Stick to our trusty Baking Soda & Vinegar blend for any deep cleaning situations.)

   steeL & STEEL DON'T MESH

Steel wool, metal scrubber, wire brush... Whatever form it comes in, don’t use it! 

Despite our steel’s incredible durability, metal scrubbers can still leave their mark, forever scarring your cup and allowing residue to build up in the scratches. 

Play it safe and opt for nonabrasive sponges for scrubbing purposes. 

  BONUS: HOW DO YOU GET COFFEE STAINS OUT OF STAINLESS STEEL CUPS?

If you’re a fellow coffee enthusiast, you’ll surely have discovered by now that your new Greens Steel cup also happens to be perfectly-sized for a potent cold-brew kick in the afternoon.
