When we use a new thermos cup for the first time, cleaning is essential. This not only removes dust and bacteria inside and outside the cup, ensuring the hygiene and safety of drinking water, but also extends the service life of the thermos cup. So, how to clean a new thermos cup correctly?
First, we need to rinse the thermos cup with boiling water. The purpose of this step is to remove dust and bacteria on the surface of the cup and preheat the cup to facilitate subsequent cleaning. When scalding, you should ensure that the inner and outer surfaces of the thermos cup are fully soaked with boiling water and keep it for a period of time to allow the hot water to fully kill bacteria.
Next, we can use toothpaste to clean the thermos cup. Toothpaste can not only remove dirt and odor on the surface of the cup, but also make the cup cleaner and more hygienic. Apply toothpaste to a sponge or soft cloth, and then gently wipe the inside and outside of the thermos cup.
During the wiping process, be careful not to use excessive force to avoid scratching the surface of the cup. At the same time, also ensure that the toothpaste is evenly distributed on the surface of the cup to achieve the best cleaning effect.
If there is some dirt or scale inside the thermos cup that is difficult to remove, we can use vinegar to soak it. Fill the thermos cup with vinegar and soak it for about half an hour, then pour out the vinegar solution and rinse it with water. Vinegar has a very good cleaning effect and can remove dirt and scale inside the cup, making the cup cleaner and more hygienic.
In addition to the above methods, we can also use baking soda to clean the thermos cup.
Add an appropriate amount of baking soda to the cup, add water, stir evenly, and then let it sit for about half an hour. Then use a toothbrush to dip the toothpaste into the inside of the thermos cup to clean it, and finally rinse it with water. Baking soda has a good cleaning effect and can remove stains and odors from the surface of the cup.
When cleaning the thermos cup, we also need to pay attention to some details. For example, for stainless steel thermos cups, we cannot use dish soap or salt to clean them because these substances may damage the inner liner of the thermos cup. At the same time, during the cleaning process, avoid using too sharp tools or brushes to avoid scratching the surface of the cup.
In addition, in addition to cleaning, we should also pay attention to the daily maintenance of the thermos cup. When using a thermos cup, you should try to avoid exposing the cup to moisture or high temperatures to avoid damage to the cup. At the same time, the thermos cup should also be cleaned regularly to keep it clean and hygienic.
In general, cleaning a new thermos cup is not complicated, you just need to follow the correct cleaning methods and precautions.
Through boiling water scalding, toothpaste cleaning, vinegar soaking and other methods, we can easily remove dust, bacteria and dirt inside and outside the cup, making the thermos cup look brand new. At the same time, you should also pay attention to the daily maintenance of the thermos cup to extend its service life.
In addition to the above methods, we can also use some other methods to clean the thermos cup. For example, using alcohol to sterilize a thermos cup can kill bacteria and viruses on the surface of the cup and ensure safe use. In addition, you can also use objects such as rice or eggshells for shaking cleaning, and use their friction to remove stains and scale from the inside of the cup.
Of course, there may be some differences in cleaning different types of thermos cups. For example, for plastic cups, we can use orange peels, lemon peels or vinegar to soak and clean them to remove odors and bacteria in the cup.
For ceramic cups, if there is a wax layer on the surface, you can use detergent to clean it thoroughly and boil it in boiling water for disinfection. For glass cups, we can slowly boil them in cold water mixed with table salt to remove bacteria and odors in the cup.
No matter which method is used to clean the thermos cup, we need to pay attention to keeping the cleaning tools hygienic and safe. For example, when wiping with a soft cloth or sponge, make sure they are clean and germ-free to avoid introducing bacteria into the cup. At the same time, avoid splashing water or other liquids into your eyes or mouth during the cleaning process to avoid injury.
To sum up, cleaning a new thermos cup is not complicated. As long as you master the correct cleaning methods and precautions, you can easily remove dust, bacteria and dirt inside and outside the cup, ensuring the hygiene and safety of drinking water.
At the same time, you should also pay attention to the daily maintenance of the thermos cup and the cleaning differences of different types of cups to extend its service life and maintain the best use effect.
