Keep your limited-edition Lunar New Year ProTour 40oz tumbler sipping clean and looking sharp with a simple daily and deep-clean routine for the lid and straw.
Quick answer
Rinse the lid and straw after every use, wash the tumbler body by hand to protect the Lunar New Year inkwork, and deep-clean the flip-straw mechanism weekly with a small brush and mild soap.
Why the print changes your cleaning routine
The limited-edition Lunar New Year finish uses Sumi-style inkwork with golden accents on deep red. Abrasive sponges and harsh cleaners can dull those details over time, so treat the exterior more gently than a plain stainless tumbler.
The flip-straw lid has small moving parts and a gasket that trap moisture and residue. Those areas need more attention than the tumbler body, especially if you sip sweetened drinks or coffee.
When to hand wash instead of dishwasher
If you want to preserve the Lunar New Year design, hand washing is the safer default. A dishwasher cycle may be convenient, but heat and detergent can wear down printed finishes and lid seals faster.
For everyday use, a quick hand rinse takes less time than loading the dishwasher and keeps the flip straw moving freely.
Step-by-step cleaning and use routine
- Rinse immediately after each use: Empty any leftover liquid and rinse the tumbler body, lid, and straw with warm water. Do not let sugary drinks or coffee sit in the lid overnight. A quick rinse prevents dried residue from hardening in the straw.
- Disassemble the lid: Flip open the straw and remove the lid from the tumbler. If your lid has a removable gasket, take it out carefully. Check your manual for specific disassembly instructions. Removing the gasket is the only way to clean the seal properly.
- Wash the body by hand: Use a soft sponge or cloth with mild dish soap and warm water. Avoid abrasive scrubbers, bleach, or cleaners with harsh chemicals. Rinse thoroughly. Never soak the tumbler in bleach or use a scouring pad on the printed design.
- Clean the lid and straw with a brush: Use a small bottle brush or straw brush to scrub inside the straw and around the flip mechanism. Pay attention to the gasket groove where residue collects. A straw brush reaches buildup that rinsing alone leaves behind.
- Rinse and air dry completely: Rinse all parts until no soap remains. Shake off excess water and leave the lid, straw, and body separate to air dry fully before reassembling. Trapped moisture in the lid can cause odors or mildew.
- Deep clean weekly: Once a week, soak the lid parts and straw in a mixture of warm water and mild soap for 10–15 minutes, then scrub and rinse. For stubborn stains, use a paste of baking soda and water on the tumbler body, then rinse well. Weekly deep cleaning keeps the flip straw moving freely and the gasket odor-free.
- Store with the lid off: Keep the tumbler upright and store it with the lid removed or loosely placed to allow airflow. Avoid sealing it while damp. Proper storage prevents musty smells between uses.
