A practical, step-by-step guide to cleaning and protecting your Too Many Bones ceramic mug, with common mistakes to avoid and honest care tradeoffs.
Quick answer
Hand wash your Too Many Bones mug with warm water and mild dish soap, then air dry it upside down to protect the glaze and custom logo mold. Skip the dishwasher and microwave to keep the finish and ceramic intact.
Why hand washing protects the glaze and logo
The Too Many Bones Mug is a 16oz ceramic piece with remarkable glaze work and a custom logo mold. Dishwasher heat and harsh detergents can dull glazes over time, and repeated microwave use stresses ceramic. Hand washing avoids both risks while keeping the mug ready for your next game night.
When a dishwasher might be tempting—and why to skip it
If you're used to tossing mugs in the dishwasher after a long session, it's understandable. But the mug's decorative glaze and molded logo are the parts most likely to suffer from high heat and abrasive detergent. Treat it like a collectible, not a daily workhorse, and you'll preserve its appearance far longer.
Step-by-step mug care routine
- Rinse immediately after use: Rinse the mug with warm water as soon as you finish your drink to prevent coffee or tea residue from settling into the glaze. Common mistake: letting it sit overnight, which makes stains harder to remove.
- Wash with mild soap and a soft sponge: Use a few drops of mild dish soap and a non-abrasive sponge. Gently scrub the interior and exterior, paying attention to the logo mold where residue can collect. Avoid scouring pads or harsh cleaners that can scratch the glaze. Check the logo mold for leftover residue before rinsing.
- Rinse thoroughly and air dry upside down: Rinse with warm water until no soap remains, then place the mug upside down on a drying rack. Air drying prevents water spots and lets any trapped moisture escape. Common mistake: drying with a rough towel that can leave lint or micro-scratches.
- Store safely between game nights: Keep the mug in a cabinet away from other hard items that could chip the rim or logo. If you display it, avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading over time. Checkpoint: make sure it's completely dry before storing to avoid mildew. Store fully dry and away from heavy items.
