Insulated cups have become an indispensable drinking companion in daily life due to their portability and heat preservation properties. However, the cleaning of insulation cups is often neglected, resulting in bacterial growth and odor. In this article, we will introduce how to properly clean the insulation cup, to maintain its cleanliness and hygiene.
Daily cleaning steps:
1. Empty the insulation cup: first, empty the liquid inside the insulation cup to ensure that there is no residue in the cup.
2. Warm water pre-wash: Pour warm water into the thermos, shake gently, and let the water temperature and water flow to help loosen the stains inside the cup.
3. Add detergent: Drop a small amount of detergent into the cup and shake again to fully dissolve the stains.
