How to Keep a Personalized Mug Looking New

A personalized mug is an everyday keepsake, and a little care keeps that photo or name looking crisp for years. Here are simple habits that protect the print.

Care tips

• Hand wash. Mild soap and a soft sponge protect the design better than the dishwasher.
• Skip abrasives. Scouring pads and harsh cleaners can scratch or dull prints.
• Cool before washing. Let a hot mug cool a bit to avoid thermal stress.

Storing it

Avoid stacking heavy items on a printed mug, and it will stay looking new.
