Now that you’ve found and documented all of the pieces of your travel cup, it’s time to scrub down each and every one. Grab your dish soap and a clean sponge to get started. Now, gently scrub down all parts of your cup with dish soap and warm water. Using the smaller scrubbers is essential to get rid of any hidden smells, so make sure a cleaning tool is touching the entire surface of every little piece.
After you’re done scrubbing, let the cup dry completely on a drying rack. You can also use a microfiber cloth to dry the cup. Repeat this process a few times a month or more if you are using the cup daily.
If you’ve scrubbed all that you can and the smell is still lingering, not all hope is lost. Now is the time for you to use your vinegar and baking soda.
