How to Clean Your AM·BYTH Thermal Cup & Bottle (And Keep It Looking Sharp)

So you’ve got your AM·BYTH thermal cup or bottle — nice choice. Now, how do you keep it clean, fresh, and adventure-ready for the long haul?

Here’s our low-fuss, no-nonsense guide to getting the best out of your bottle without wrecking the finish or letting rogue coffee dregs ruin your day.

🧼 1. Wash Gently — Preserve the Outside, Protect the Inside

These cups and bottles are designed to take a few knocks, but a good clean goes a long way. We recommend:

  • Handwashing only — Helps preserve that powder-coated finish and protect the vacuum seal.

  • Skip the dishwasher — Too hot and too aggressive for long-term use.

  • Use a soft cloth — We (surprise!) love a Swedish dishcloth — it’s absorbent, fast-drying, and won’t scratch.

🧴 2. The Bamboo Lid: Splashes Are Fine, Soaking Is Not

That beautiful bamboo lid? It’s topped with natural material and has a BPA-free liner inside. The two are bonded, but bamboo is a living material and can expand if soaked.

  • Do rinse or wipe it down after use.

  • Don’t soak it or leave it submerged — the bamboo may swell away from the inner liner. This isn’t a fault, just a quirk of nature.

  • Bonus tip: Hiking in a downpour? Pop it upside down in your bags bottle holder to protect the lid.

🔓 3. How to Take the Cup Lid Apart (Yes, You Can)

Want to deep clean the click-top mechanism or get every last drop of iced coffee?

  • Keep the lid on the cup, place your thumb in the spout, and twist the inner lid anti-clockwise.

  • The two-part mechanism will unlock so you can rinse thoroughly inside and out.

Super handy if your oat milk flat white is feeling a little... old.

🎒 4. Bag-Ready Leakproofing

Want to chuck your cup in a tote or daypack without panic?

  • After drinking, click to close like normal.

  • Then clear the mechanism — either sip again or give it a quick shake to remove any trapped liquid in the spout area.

  • That little leftover isn’t leakage — just physics. Clean spout = dry bag.

In Short…

Treat your AM·BYTH cup or bottle with a little love, and it’ll pay you back for years of caffeine-fuelled adventures, packed lunches, mountain hikes and airport sprints.

And if you haven’t already — grab a Swedish dishcloth from our shop. It’s the ultimate clean-up sidekick.
