To keep your Ambition Wave Coffee Cups in top condition, we recommend following these simple cleaning and maintenance tips:
1. Hand wash with warm soapy water immediately after use to prevent any residue from drying onto the cup. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals as this can damage the glass surface. For stubborn stains or discoloration, mix equal parts of baking soda and water into a paste and gently rub it onto the affected area. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and dry completely before storing. To prevent scratches, stack cups with rims facing inward to avoid scratching the glass surface. Store your Ambition Wave Coffee Cups in a safe place where they won't be knocked over or dropped. Avoid using your coffee cup in the dishwasher as this can cause warping or damage to the glass.

Question 2

"How do I properly clean and maintain my Ambition Wave Coffee Cups?"

Accepted Answer

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Ambition Wave Coffee Cups, we recommend following these steps for cleaning and maintenance:

1. Clean the cup after each use: Rinse the cup with hot water immediately after finishing your drink. This will help prevent any residue from setting in and becoming difficult to remove. Use a mild soap and warm water: For deeper cleaning, add a small amount of mild soap to the cup and fill it with warm water. Gently scrub the inside and outside of the cup with a soft sponge or brush. Rinse thoroughly with hot water and dry completely. Avoid abrasive cleaners: Harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaning tools can scratch the surface of the cup, compromising its durability and performance over time. Stick to gentle soaps and soft sponges for best results. Store the cups properly: To prevent scratches and other damage during storage, stack the cups carefully with their lids off or in a separate container. Avoid nesting them inside each other or placing heavier items on top of them. Check the seal regularly: Over time, the silicone seal around the lid may become worn or damaged, leading to leaks and other issues. Inspect the seal regularly for signs of wear and replace it if necessary. You can find replacement seals in our online store.

Accepted Answer

To ensure that your Ambition Wave Coffee Cups remain in excellent condition for a long time, we recommend following these cleaning and maintenance guidelines:

1. Hand washing is recommended to avoid harsh detergents found in dishwashers. Fill the cup with warm water and add a small amount of dish soap or mild detergent. Use a soft sponge or brush to clean both the inside and outside of the cup. Rinse thoroughly with hot water and dry with a soft towel. If stains occur, make a paste of baking soda and water and apply it to the affected area using a soft-bristled brush. Let the paste sit for 15-30 minutes before rinsing thoroughly with hot water and drying. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, steel wool or harsh chemicals that can scratch or damage the surface of the cup. Store your Ambition Wave Coffee Cups in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent warping or cracking. Do not expose them to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight. If you notice any cracks, chips or other damage to your cups, stop using them immediately and dispose of them properly.

Question 4

The ceramic coating on my 8.5 cm cup is chipping off after one wash cycle, what's wrong with it and how can I prevent this from happening again?

Accepted Answer

That's frustrating! Ceramic coatings can be prone to chipping if not applied or maintained properly. Let's break down the possible causes:

1. Poor application**: If the ceramic coating was not applied correctly, it may not have adhered well to the cup's surface. This could be due to insufficient cleaning, inadequate preparation of the surface, or incorrect application technique. Incompatible materials**: The ceramic coating might be incompatible with the materials used in your cup. Some coatings are designed for specific types of ceramics or glazes, and using them on a different material can lead to chipping. Insufficient curing**: Ceramic coatings often require time to cure properly. If the cup was washed too soon after application, the coating may not have had enough time to harden, leading to chipping. Abrasive washing**: Using abrasive detergents or scrubbers can damage the ceramic coating and cause it to chip off. To prevent this from happening again:

1. Choose a high-quality ceramic coating**: Look for coatings specifically designed for your type of cup material (e. Follow application instructions carefully**: Make sure to clean the surface properly before applying the coating, and follow the recommended application technique. Allow sufficient curing time**: Wait at least 24 hours after application before washing the cup. Use gentle cleaning products**: Opt for mild detergents and soft sponges or cloths to avoid scratching the coating. Avoid extreme temperatures**: Avoid exposing the coated cup to high temperatures, as this can cause the coating to degrade. If you've already applied the ceramic coating, try reapplying it according to the manufacturer's instructions. If the issue persists, consider contacting the manufacturer for guidance or seeking professional help to reapply the coating correctly.

Question 5

My new coffee cup is made from some sort of plastic, but it smells like something burnt when I use hot drinks in it. Is this normal?

Accepted Answer

That's quite annoying! The burnt smell you're experiencing is likely due to a process called "thermal decomposition. When plastics are exposed to high temperatures, especially above 200°C (392°F), they can break down and release volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These chemicals can have a strong, unpleasant odor similar to burning plastic. In the case of your coffee cup, it's possible that the manufacturer used a type of plastic called polycarbonate (PC) or polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Both of these plastics are commonly used in disposable cups and can be prone to thermal degradation when exposed to hot liquids. The good news is that this phenomenon is relatively common, especially with cheap or low-quality plastic products. However, it's not entirely normal, as a good manufacturer should choose materials that can withstand the temperatures involved. To minimize the smell, you could try avoiding using extremely hot drinks in your cup. If the smell persists, it might be worth considering replacing the cup with one made from a different material, such as stainless steel or glass. These materials are generally more resistant to thermal degradation and won't impart any unpleasant flavors or odors to your coffee. It's worth noting that some plastic cups may have a "burnt" smell due to the manufacturing process itself. In this case, the smell is usually harmless and will fade over time as the cup is used. However, if you're experiencing a persistent, strong smell, it's best to err on the side of caution and investigate further.
