You use your Stanley cup daily, but are you keeping it clean? Here's how to wash it properly.

Whether you're sipping water, cold tea or iced coffee from your insulated cup, a good cleaning is essential to avoid mould and bacteria build-up in the straw and under the lid.

You should rinse your cup once a day and a do a complete cleaning at least once a week, according to Stanley. It's best to use mild dish soap and a soft sponge, avoiding anything abraisive that may alter the integrity of the components.

Here's How To Clean Your Stanley 

You need:

1. Fill a basin with warm water, add a few drops of dishwashing liquid and white vinegar. Mix the solution until it foams.

2. Disassemble your Stanley by removing each part, the spout guard, straw and lid.

3. Soak everything in soapy water for at least 15 minutes. Use a soft-bristled brush to scrub off any residue or dirt. Clean the inside of the straw using a brush or cotton swab.

4. Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap. Air dry on a rack until ready to use.
