How To Clean Sublimation Tumblers

Tumbler Care Instructions

Sublimation tumblers are stylish, durable, and customizable. They are an excellent way to express your unique personality while enjoying your favorite drinks. However, cleaning them may be a challenge, and you may end up damaging the design if you use the wrong cleaning method. Luckily, with the right information, cleaning a sublimation tumbler can be easy!

Are Sublimation Tumblers Dishwasher Safe?

One of the most common questions people have about sublimation tumblers is whether or not they are dishwasher safe. MakerFlo Tumblers do not recommend putting any sublimation tumblers in the dishwasher as the dishwasher can cause the graphics to fade or peel. Additionally, the heat from the dishwasher may also damage the vacuum seal, reducing the insulation capacity over time.

Taking good care of your sublimation tumbler ensures the longevity of the tumbler and the designs on it. Here are a few things you should keep in mind when caring for your sublimation tumbler:

  1. Hand Wash: It is best to hand wash your sublimation tumbler to maintain its quality. You can use mild dish soap and warm water to clean the tumbler.
  2. Do Not Soak: To prevent water from getting in between the design and the tumbler, do not soak your tumbler in water.
  3. Avoid Abrasives: When washing the tumbler, avoid using abrasive sponges or brushes that can scratch or damage the designs.
  4. Dry Immediately: After cleaning the tumbler, make sure to dry it immediately with a clean towel or air dryer.
