Learn the safest way to clean your Corkcicle Unicorn Magic Tumbler without fading or scratching the glossy opalescent finish. Simple steps for long-lasting sparkle.
Quick answer
Hand wash your Corkcicle Unicorn Magic Tumbler with mild dish soap and a soft sponge to keep the glossy opalescent finish looking magical. Avoid bleach, abrasive pads, and the dishwasher.
Why the finish needs special care
The Unicorn Magic Tumbler's light-catching opalescent finish is applied as a decorative layer over the stainless steel. Harsh cleaning methods like dishwasher cycles, bleach, or rough scrubbers can cause fading, scratching, or peeling over time. Because the tumbler is triple-insulated and keeps drinks cold for over 9 hours, you'll want to keep that outer surface pristine so it stays as functional as it is beautiful.
What to avoid
Never put the tumbler in the dishwasher. High heat and strong detergents can dull the iridescent coating. Avoid bleach, chlorine-based cleaners, and any abrasive sponge or brush. Also skip soaking in very hot water, as it may weaken the finish's adhesion.
Step-by-step cleaning guide
- 1. Rinse immediately after use: Empty the tumbler and rinse with warm water to remove loose residue. Don't let coffee, tea, or juice dry inside. A quick rinse prevents stains from setting.
- 2. Hand wash with mild soap and soft sponge: Fill with warm water and a few drops of mild dish soap. Use a soft sponge or microfiber cloth to gently clean the inside and outside. Avoid scrubbing the opalescent finish forcefully. Abrasive scrubbers like steel wool or scouring pads will scratch the surface.
- 3. Rinse and dry thoroughly: Rinse all soap residue with warm water. Dry the tumbler immediately with a soft, lint-free cloth to prevent water spots and maintain the glossy shine. Air drying can leave mineral deposits that dull the finish.
- 4. Clean the lid separately: Remove the sliding lid and wash it by hand with the same mild soap and a soft brush. Rinse well and let it air dry completely before reassembling. The lid's silicone seal can trap moisture, so make sure it's fully dry to avoid mold.
