Dry Thoroughly

After washing, let the tumbler or container air dry with the lid off to prevent mold or mildew.

Never place the tumbler in a microwave or oven, as the vacuum insulation and metallic components can cause damage or hazards.

Avoid Prolonged Exposure to Heat

Don’t leave the tumbler in extreme heat, such as inside a car on a hot day.

No Freezer
Use

Avoid placing the tumbler in a freezer as it may damage the vacuum seal.
