When you decide to invest in a quality mate thermos, you also need to know the right habits to adopt to protect your equipment and extend its life.
So what should you do when your thermos arrives? How do you care for it over time? And above all, how do you preserve all its thermal properties?
First use and thermos care
Our Tempera mate thermos
When your thermos arrives, it's fresh from the factory - it has never touched any liquid. So it's worth preparing your thermos for its new life.
Before any use, we advise following the steps below to best preserve its qualities and longevity:
- Add 2 tablespoons of baking soda to 1 L of boiling water.
- Pour the solution into the thermos and leave it to work for 12h.
Once the wait is over, rinse the thermos thoroughly with clean water!
Your Tempera® thermos is ready! You can repeat this cleaning once a week, or after contact with milk, coffee or any other liquid!
What not to do with your thermos
Carrying your thermos is easy!
Whatever the quality of your thermos, there are several points where you need to stay vigilant to avoid harming its thermal performance.
Never clean or fill your thermos with an acidic liquid such as:
- Sodas
- Caustic acids
- Chlorine
Also take care with how you use the thermos itself:
- Don't put your thermos in the microwave.
- Don't heat the thermos directly.
- Don't wash it in the dishwasher.
- Keep out of children's reach.
- Don't wash with harsh products like bleach.
- Don't clean with an abrasive.
Follow all our advice, and your thermos should naturally stay with you for a very long time and accompany all your mates!
