Anyway, the other day I dropped one. And the lid fell apart never to be used again. But the really creepy thing is that between the 2 pieces that slide together to close or open the top to allow drinking, was slime and icky stuff.
So I have 3 more of them. Discard, or is there anyway to get them clean?? I have been soaking them in bleach water.
I saw your link fine. Is there a way to take apart w/o breaking? I’ve thrown away those kinda mugs cause the smell wouldn’t come out. Soaking a oughta do something. Good luck.
he let mildew get in there … but i learned years ago never clean a coffee cup less ya had permission… that way you didnt destroy the “character” my grandpas black cpffee cup started out as white im told but you didnt clean it unless he asked ya to and that wasnt very often …
I am sure there is a way to clean it, but I just wanted to say your thread title reminded me of the song “Great green gobs of greasy, grimy gopher guts…”
I have a cup with a slidey thing, and that comes off for cleaning. If you look at the underside, you can see how you can push the two sides together to pop it out.
I also find a lot of grunge gets up in the underside rim.
I have a similar insulated cup with a lid and had the same issue. I don’t drink coffee, all that was ever in it was ice water, but it had that same slime in the same place. I assume it’s just a matter of not taking it all apart, washing it well and letting it dry, at least a few times a week.
IIRC, a few years back a ton of these cups were either recalled or they got very popular very quickly and there was some news stories about mold showing up under the lids.
