Here are instructions on how to clean your stainless steel mugs, it doesn't get much less messy than this ......

1. Throw them in the dishwasher

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

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

2. Hand wash in the sink

If you're more of a hands-on person or you need to get your cups clean as quickly as possible, hand washing is always a solid option.

Just treat it like any other reusable drinkware and simply scrub it under the tap with ordinary detergent and tap water.

3. Deep clean with baking soda and vinegar

If your mug needs a deep clean, it doesn't take much scrubbing or crafting.

Things to avoid when cleaning mugs

Avoid using bleach

While bleach is the preferred choice for washing clothes and keeping them white, it will only cause damage to your green steel mug.

The ingredients that make our steel stainless are easily stripped away by oxidising agents like those found in bleach, making cleaning techniques in this case actually counterproductive.

Steel does not mix with steel

Steel wool, metal scrubbers, wire brushes ...... Whatever form it comes in, don't use it!

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

To be on the safe side, choose a non-abrasive sponge to scrub with.
