Mug Care & Cleaning Information

The Enamel Mug is susceptible to staining when used with certain beverages, including coffee, tea, and natural juices. That’s a normal characteristic of enamel products and not specific to our mug alone. Due to the enamel’s rough and porous surface texture, particles from these drinks may easily adhere to the mug, resulting in stains over time. Stains can be effectively removed by applying lemon juice or soda to the affected area and gently scrubbing with a hard sponge.

Delivery times vary from country to country. On average customers in the USA and Europe should expect your Retro Mug to arrive in 5-9 days business days. Depending on your order destination and fulfillment location certain tax/vat may be required (eg. VAT in the UK).
