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.
