•Material Safety & Temperature LimitsEnsure your cup is made of food-grade plastics like PP (Polypropylene) or Tritan, which are BPA-free and safe for daily use. Avoid using the cup with extremely hot liquids (over 100°C/212°F for PP, 109°C/228°F for Tritan) to prevent warping or chemical leaching. Hot drinks may also cause the lid to expand, leading to spills.
•Proper Cleaning & MaintenanceHand Wash Recommended: While some cups are dishwasher-safe, frequent dishwasher use may degrade the plastic over time.Thorough Cleaning: Disassemble the lid, straw, and any removable parts daily. Use warm, soapy water to scrub residue, especially from sugary drinks or coffee.Avoid Bleach: Harsh chemicals like bleach can damage the plastic and alter its appearance.
•Leak-Proof TipsSecure the Lid: Always twist the lid tightly to engage the silicone seal. Overfilling beyond the marked line may compromise the seal.Avoid Inverted Use: Even with a leak-proof design, sudden movements or pressure changes (e.g., in a bag) may cause minor spills.
•Child Safety PrecautionsOpt for cups with non-slip grips and no sharp edges.Supervise young children to prevent choking hazards with the straw. Replace damaged or worn-out parts immediately.
•Storage & Chemical ExposureStore cups in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration or brittleness.Avoid contact with solvents (e.g., alcohol, oil-based products) as they may erode the plastic.
•Sustainability NoteCheck for recycling symbols (e.g., #5 for PP) and dispose of the cup responsibly. Reusable straws reduce single-use waste—clean them regularly to maintain hygiene.
