1. Toss Them in the Dishwasher

That’s right! Unlike other stainless steel brands on the market, all Greens Steel products are 100% dishwasher safe.

All you have to do is throw them in the rack and let the machine do its thing.

2. Hand Wash 'em

If you’re more of a hands-on type, or you need your cup clean ASAP, hand washing is always a solid option.

As you would with any other reusable drinkware, simply give it the good ol’ scrub-and-rinse under the faucet with regular dish soap and tap water.

Things to Avoid When Cleaning Stainless Steel 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.
