Having a selection of different sizes and designs of insulated tumblers with lids provides you with options. Insulated tumblers can be made from a variety of materials, including stainless steel and BPA-free plastic.
Depending on the style of insulated tumblers with lids, sizes can range from sixteen ounces to up to thirty ounces. They are ideal for both hot and cold beverages if they are designed with either double or triple wall insulation. The durable and shatterproof plastic insulated tumblers are typically double walled, while the best quality stainless steel tumblers are triple insulated.
Before Use
As with any other drinkware, be sure to wash tumblers and lids before use. To make washing easier, look for brands that offer dishwasher safe products. This makes cleanup a breeze as you can run them through the dishwasher with other items.
Rinse After Use
Even with dishwasher-safe insulated tumblers with lids, getting into the habit of rinsing the lid and tumbler with water after use is helpful. This is particularly important if the beverage contained sugar, milk, or fruit juice.
If you enjoy your morning or afternoon smoothie on the go or you use the tumbler to keep it cold while you work from home, rinsing out any residue from the straw, lid, and tumbler reduces any risk of bad odors or residue stuck to the interior of the drinkware.
Sometimes water is not available. When residue is present, simply place the tumbler, lid, and straw in warm soapy water and allow it to sit. Rinse with warm water to remove the residue and wash by hand or in the dishwasher.
