I have used this product for many years with no problems. I clean some brass and copper mugs with this and no problem, but I do wash it off. Be sure to really dry your copper pieces thoroughly after cleaning - moisture will make them turn dark very soon. I dry the pieces clean and then I take a perfectly dry cloth and go over them again. Hope this answer your question.

Can't address the Moscow Mule Mugs issue. I do use it on copper cookware, and on a round solid copper mixing bowl. When the polish dries, it is easy to see to buff off. If you miss a spot, you notice and go back and buff it off. Doubt I've ingested much, but if so, I haven't died yet. I love the product because it is gentle on the copper, is not abrasive, has no offensive chemical smell, does not harm my tender skin (though I do wear rubber gloves while applying the polish, I remove them for the buffing portion of the chore). And, something they don't tell you: the copper polish is effective on stainless steel cookware as will. I like the Wright's silver polish as well. Can't address the Moscow Mule Mugs issue.

I'm surprised to read the answer that mentions using this copper polish like old school silver polish is used (apply a thin layer to tarnished sliver, allow to dry to a haze, rub hard until tarnish is removed--your rag will turn BLACK--, finish with a clean soft cloth). This copper polish is meant to be rubbed on the dull copper after wetting the little sponge in hot water, dipping into the creme, and rubbing onto the metal you have run hot water onto. It takes VERY little effort to get bright shiny copper, and leaves no swirl marks or scratches. So glad Amazon carries it!

These mugs are made of pure copper with no inner lining. This is really good because most mugs are lined with nickel which gets eroded and mixed with the drink which results in nickel consumption....that can be bad for health... so pure copper with no lining is the best!

Hi Matt, We recommend Daddy Van's All Natural Unscented Beeswax Furniture Polish for use on surfaces that will come into contact with food.

I hope that you enjoy the tumbler. I purchased mine a month ago (?). I have been using my tumbler to polish silver, steel, and copper jewelry that I make. I have been using stainless steel shot, water, and a bit of dishwashing liquid. I have only been using one of the barrels so far.

very safe indoors or out. they must be set up on stable surface. The can spill if knocked over. I think heet will work, methyl alcohol without the brand name might be cheaper. I have used rubbing alcohol too. I carried on all over Alaska in the woods as a surveyor and geologist for fifty years. They always worked when I need them. Good Luck

Yes, there is no problem... however make sure you have cleaned any loose particles and or grease. Usually I use denatured alcohol.

I use them externally, although I believe some are safe for internal use. For example, I would use the mint or cinnamon or lemon in homemade toothpaste. It says "external use" right on some bottles.

i think it's just the different on the outside. They are both the same for the internal materials. I mostly use my mug for hot stuffs and it stays hot for the whole day. Sometime, i forgot to clean it at night, the next day, the drink is still warm. It kept my drink hot for a longgggg time. For cold drink, it did a good job too, but i read from somewhere that we shouldn't leave ice in there for too long. I'm not sure why.

These mugs have a clear, tarnish resistant lacquer finish on the exterior surface which should keep mugs used for display shiny & tarnish-free for years. However, kitchen grease, splatters, etc. may eventually degrade this finish. If that happens you'll need to scrub the finish off and start polishing them to keep them looking shiny/tarnish free. However, many people actually prefer the patina that aged copper gets to the shiny, new appearance.

Yes, there is a company called MG Decor who sells well branded and better quality copperwares (including Moscow mule mugs). Search them in google.

I would say Wenol is safe on almost any metal surface, but like all polishes, it will change the look of whatever you use it on, which may be what your goal is to start with. For instance brushed aluminum may not look quite so brushed and more glossy.

The mugs have a lacquer coating and should be gently hand washed and towel dried. Suggest checking with the manufacturer regarding safety if the coating is coming off.

Hello Ashley, the mug is not just for Moscow Mules. You certainly will enjoy your drink in this moscow mule copper mug but at the same time you can enjoy beer, vodka and other favorite beverages. I avoid hot ones like coffee or tea. Iced tea is fine. Thank you for asking.

Not at all. I've had this mug for about 4 months now, and it's been nothing but absolutely great. If you put hot stuff in there, you can expect it to stay hot, without affecting the temperature of the outside of the bottle. In fact, you can just consider the outside of the bottle to be almost completely isolated from the inside, as the isolation is done extremely well.

I think it is some if the chemical gel used to insulate the mugs. It is filled between the inner and outer layers of the mug, and sealed at the bottom. Don't use them.

Mine has only been used for tea. It is a very sturdy mug and I wouldn't think there would be a problem if it were used for coffee. If you are worried about coffee stains, I think tea stains are as bad- and so far, I haven't had a problem with tea stains. Hope that helps!

I only use them for Moscow Mules so I can't really say. It does keep those very cold and adds a required taste element.
