How to Care for Your Swig
A well-loved Swig needs a tried and true cleaning routine. Take a swig for a long time with our guide to caring for your drinkware and accessories.
DRINKWARE
Does your Swig have a silicone base? If so, it's dishwasher safe!
- Rinse cup and place on the top rack of your dishwasher.
- Remove slider piece (view instructions below) and silicone ring from lid. Place in the utensil basket.
Don't have a dishwasher? No problem!
- Hand wash with mild dish soap. Never use bleach or abrasive cleaners containing chlorine.
- Place upside down on drying rack or dry surface.
PUSH-SEAL LIDS
All of our lids and caps are top-rack dishwasher safe, and sliders are removable for easy cleaning.
Opt for our EZ Flow Lids for quick sips, or our Slider Lids to minimize spills and keep your drinks warmer (or cooler!) for longer.
How to Clean Your Slider Lid:
- Flip your lid upside down on a soft surface, slider lid closed. Don't fret, whatever color slider you have, they all work the same!
- Using the blunt end of a spoon or other utensil, press firm to release.
- Hand wash or place in your dishwasher's utensil basket.
- When clean, place lid right side up on a soft surface and press the slider firmly into place.

FAQ
Can I place my reusable straws in the dishwasher?
Why will my slider piece and my lid not come apart?
Do not be afraid to add a little extra pressure when removing your slider piece from your lid. If you are still having difficulties, try soaking your lid in warm water before attempting the removal again. This will help loosen any tightness or remove any build up that is causing the piece to remain in place. Need extra help? Email us at hello@swiglife.com.
Can I put my Swig in the microwave?
Swigs should not be used in the microwave. This not only will damage your product, but can be dangerous to you and your appliance.
