Is this tumbler easy to clean? I had a tumbler from Teavana and it was fabulous, but I could never get it totally clean because of all the parts.

The lids are easy to clean. The tumbler is narrow so a brush to get to the bottom is needed.

Yes it is, I clean it everyday with no problem. This one is easy to take apart and very sturdy.

It is fairly easy to clean because it has the ability to be taken apart as needed and all surfaces are right there without having to do any "pop this" or "twist this" mechanism. The threads on the cap can be easily cleaned, same with the cover, and the interior of the tumbler is stainless, so a simple bottle brush, or even your hand if small enough, can easily keep it very clean.

Yeah I've been using it and it cleans well enough, I think its not AS NICE as other versions I've used to clean... the abrasive and the liquid are annoyingly separated most of the time... so I put it in a plastic bag and make sure that both the abrasive and liquid are accounted for. Hope that helps

The strainer is a very decliate thing. If you push too hard, it will definitely go through into the tumbler. However, if you apply the correct amount of force, there are little ridges to allow the strainer to click in place. It has not been an issue for me when actually drinking tea (has never fallen, ect), but it's a tiny bit difficult to actually place the strainer in the correct position.

We have had ours for a couple of months now. We like it very much - never had the problem that you are talking about. Like anything new, it is a good idea to use it a few times by heating it up and throwing away the water. The only thing about it is that it is a bit slower to heat up than our previous kettle. We discovered the reason is that the heating element is sealed below. One could actually brew tea in this model - looks like it would be easy to clean because of the design.

I've had the same problem. I would tend to agree with Maggie Too9 - but am frustrated bc this is the best** tea kettles available to us throw-away americans. and i'd like to not throw this away. is it really rust???

I have many Tervis Tumblers and they are guaranteed. They are top rack dishwasher safe so you should contact Tervis and they should replace it.

Yes it is easy to clean. The straw comes apart and can be cleaned. This is still my favorite cup for infants. I am on my second round of grand babies.

It appears to be fairly easy to clean, the top is called a "brushed suede like fabric" it seems like microfiber, warm soapy water on a wash cloth looks like it will handle most things on it. We've only used it once so far and it didn't really get that dirty, but it seems like it would be very easy to clean. If you spray it with silicon water proofing before your first use it will be very easy to clean.

I have tried turning my cup upside down only to see if it would leak. It does not leak, but the cap does fill up with the liquid so opening after turning the cup upside down becomes tricky or even dangerous if the tea is very hot. As for staining, it depends on what sort of tea you drink on the regular. So far, mine has not stained but I rinse it after each use. I think this purcahse was very worth it. I have been looking for a travel mug just for tea for many years and this is the first one I have had that I would recommend.

The information that came with the mug said not to put it in the dishwasher, so I don't. I would think that repeated cleaning in the dishwasher might make the rubber (or whatever material it is) on the bottom of the mug come unglued. The lip and inside of the mug is ceramic and very easy to clean. After my last cup, I just rinse it out and wipe dry to get the water spots off.

The one I have that I purchased about a year ago does have the new easier to clean design. It is also a good idea to quickly rinse it out when finished and then properly wash it at home. When I get to work I take it into the bathroom and just run some water over the lid and rinse out the mug.

I have the Keurig brand (which is also Contigo and looks nearly identical but way more expensive). The lid on the Keurig, however, does not open up like this one appears to (I suppose for cleaning). I love the Keurig brand though (I got it on sale, it's quite expensive otherwise comparatively). I've washed mine (stainless steel) for a couple years now in the dishwasher and it's fine. I think the colored ones you'd have issues with paint chipping. My SS Keurig mug is still just as shiny and pretty as ever.

Yes, the kettle is very easy to clean - just rinse it out if needed (we are just boiling water in it). The only problem after months of use and many pots of water per day at the office, there were some mineral deposits on the bottom of the glass kettle where the heating element is - small round dots along the outer edge. All I needed to do was swish some CLR around in the bottom of the kettle and the mineral deposits came right out.

It's pretty easy to clean. I either throw it in the dishwasher or pour hot water in it with dish soap and shake it. Let it sit then rinse it out. I highly recommend it. It's a great coffee mug.

The mesh tea holder and lid can both go in the top shelf of the dishwasher, so are very easily cleaned. The carafe section, however, can only be wiped out with a damp rag but I've had mine for several months now and that hasn't really been an issue for me. As far as removing loose tea from the mesh, hold it upside down, give the side a tap and they fall right out!

If Klean Kanteen recommends hand washing, that's good enough for me. Easily washed and dried by hand and if that will keep my cup great for the near future it's not that much of an inconvenience. I read their recommendation prior to purchasing mine and thought it not to be unreasonable. Mine has not seen the inside of my dishwasher and I don't intend to ever try it. Love the cup!!!

Yes, it's easy to clean. I just use mine for boiling water for my tea. I hand wash it in the sink when I need to.
