Learn the proper way to hand wash your Stanley Reserve Wine Tumbler 11oz. Keep it spotless and odor-free with these simple steps.
Quick answer
Hand wash your Reserve Wine Tumbler 11oz with warm water, mild dish soap, and a soft sponge. Avoid abrasive tools and the dishwasher to protect the finish and insulation.
Why hand washing matters for your wine tumbler
The double-wall vacuum insulation that keeps your wine at the perfect temperature can be compromised by high heat in a dishwasher. Hand washing preserves the seal and prevents clouding on the stainless steel surface.
The translucent slider lid is also best cleaned by hand. Dishwasher cycles can warp the plastic or cause the slider to become stiff over time.
Step-by-step cleaning guide
- Rinse immediately after use: As soon as you finish your wine, rinse the tumbler with warm water to prevent residue from drying and staining the interior. Swirl the water gently to loosen any leftover liquid. Don't let wine sit overnight; dried stains are harder to remove and may leave a lingering odor.
- Wash with mild soap and soft sponge: Apply a small drop of mild dish soap to a soft sponge or cloth. Scrub the entire interior and exterior, including the rim and bottom. Avoid steel wool, scouring pads, or abrasive cleaners that can scratch the stainless steel surface. Even gentle abrasive pads can leave micro-scratches that trap bacteria and dull the finish.
- Clean the lid separately: Remove the translucent slider lid and wash it gently with the same soapy sponge. Pay attention to the slider mechanism and the rim where the lid meets the tumbler. Rinse thoroughly under warm running water to remove all soap residue. Soap trapped in the slider can leave a bitter taste on your next drink; rinse until no suds remain.
- Dry completely before storing: Turn the tumbler upside down on a clean dish rack to air dry. For the lid, place it on its side so water doesn't pool inside the slider channel. Alternatively, pat dry with a lint-free cloth. Store with the lid off to allow any trapped moisture to evaporate. Storing the lid on while damp can cause mold or mildew growth in the slider area.
- Remove stubborn wine stains: For set-in stains, fill the tumbler with warm water and add a tablespoon of baking soda or a few drops of white vinegar. Let it soak for 15-20 minutes, then scrub with a soft sponge. Rinse thoroughly. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals. Baking soda and vinegar are gentle enough for the stainless steel but effective at lifting tannin stains.
