Hand -Wash Only: Do I really have to?

So you just got a cool new Owala for hitting a sales goal or a rad cork-bottomed coffee mug from a conference you attended and you can’t wait to put them to use. We’d be hyped, too! 

And while it's tempting to toss all your drinkware in the dishwasher, think twice about those promotional treasures. Not only can the high heat and harsh detergents can wreak havoc on their custom imprints over time, insulated tumblers can also lose their vacuum seals, which gives them their temperature-regulating superpowers. 

So, while the dishwasher is a lifesaver, to keep your branded sip-ware shining bright and your drinks perfectly hot or cold, a gentle hand wash is often the best way to go (especially if your mug, bottle, or tumbler explicitly says hand-wash only)!
