Cleaning and Decontamination Techniques

1. Clean in a timely manner
   Rinse with warm water as soon as possible after use to avoid residual tea and coffee stains.
   If there are stubborn stains inside the cup, you can use a soft cloth dipped in a small amount of baking soda or toothpaste to gently wipe it off.
2. Remove odors
   If there is an odor in the cup, soak it in warm water and lemon slices for 30 minutes, then rinse with clean water.
   It can also be soaked in tea or coffee grounds to remove odors and add natural aroma.
3. Avoid using hard cleaning tools
   Avoid using steel wire balls or hard brushes during cleaning to avoid scratching the glaze surface.
   It is recommended to use a sponge or soft cloth to clean and keep the cup surface smooth.

Long term storage recommendations

1. Dry storage
   After cleaning, thoroughly air dry before storage to avoid mold growth in humid environments.
   If not used for a long time, it can be placed in a well ventilated area to avoid sealed storage.
2. Avoid stacking
   When storing, try to avoid stacking multiple ceramic cups to prevent wear on the cup mouth or bottom.
   If stacking is required, a layer of soft cloth or tissue can be placed between the cups to reduce friction.
3. Regular inspections
   Ceramic cups stored for a long time should be regularly inspected for cracks or stains, and cleaned or repaired in a timely manner.
