Ceramic Mug Care Questions, Answered
Whether you use a ceramic mug for coffee, cold brew, or matcha, proper care keeps it looking clean and lasting longer. Here are the most common questions about cleaning and maintaining ceramic mugs.
- How should I clean my ceramic mug?
- The Chamberlain Coffee Black Ceramic Mug and Navy Ceramic Mug both come with the same guidance: hand wash recommended. This helps maintain the mug's appearance over time. Gently wash with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge, then rinse thoroughly and air dry or dry with a soft cloth.
- Can I put my ceramic mug in the dishwasher?
- The supplied product information for both the Black Ceramic Mug and Navy Ceramic Mug recommends hand washing, but it does not confirm whether dishwasher use is safe. If you want to be sure your mug stays looking its best, stick to hand washing.
- How do I remove coffee or tea stains from a ceramic mug?
- For stubborn stains, make a paste of baking soda and water, apply it to the inside of the mug, and gently scrub with a soft sponge or cloth. Rinse thoroughly. This is a common, gentle method, though it is not a manufacturer instruction—always test on a small area first.
- Can I use my ceramic mug for both hot and cold drinks?
- Yes. The Navy Ceramic Mug is described as holding 10 oz. of your favorite hot or cold beverage, and the Black Ceramic Mug is ideal for coffee, cold brew, or matcha. Both are designed for everyday use at home, office, or travel.
- How should I store my ceramic mug to avoid damage?
- Store your mug on a stable shelf or hook, away from edges where it could be knocked off. Avoid stacking heavy items on top of it. The supplied information does not specify storage instructions, but common sense helps prevent chips and cracks.

Daily Habits That Keep Your Mug Looking New
Rinse your mug soon after finishing your drink to prevent coffee, tea, or matcha residue from drying and staining. Use a soft sponge rather than abrasive scrubbers, which can scratch the ceramic finish. If you take your mug on the go, rinse it as soon as you can—this is especially helpful for the 10 oz. size that’s convenient for commutes.
