Insulated drinkware, such as thermoses, bottles or mugs, are a popular choice for keeping drinks hot or cold for hours. Our line of insulated drinkware is made of 316 stainless steel for superior durability, corrosion resistance and a sleek, modern look. However, if you forget to clean your drinkware, it can get moldy. So, if the thermos is moldy, can you still use it? Let’s find out.
First, it’s important to understand what mold is and how it can affect your health. Mold is a type of fungus that can grow on almost any material with sufficient moisture and oxygen. Mold spores can cause a range of health problems, from allergic reactions to respiratory problems. Therefore, it is important to clean your insulated drinkware thoroughly and regularly to avoid mold growth.
If you find your drinking utensils are moldy, don’t panic. If cleaned properly, you can still use your drinking utensils. Methods as below:
1. Disassemble your drinkware, removing the lid and any other removable parts.
2. Soak your drinkware in hot water with a few drops of mild dish soap for at least 30 minutes.
3. Scrub the inside of the drinkware with a soft brush or sponge, paying special attention to mold spots.
4. Rinse your drinking utensils thoroughly with hot water, making sure to remove all soap residue.
5. Allow your drinkware to air dry completely before reassembling.
It’s also a good idea to sanitize your drinking utensils regularly to prevent mold growth. You can effectively sanitize your drinking utensils with a solution of white vinegar and water or a commercial sanitizer designed for drinking utensils.
In conclusion, mold can happen to anyone who uses insulated drinking utensils, but that doesn’t mean you should throw them out. With proper cleaning and maintenance, you can continue to use your drinking utensils safely.
