how do you clean your refillable mugs?

[Pooh&OurHunny]

For people flying in to Disney, what cleaning or dish soap do you travel with to clean with the mugs each day?
Thanks

Hot water.

All the resorts we have stayed at have a sink near the beverage station and we just rinse them in hot water there, or just in the sink in our room. Helps to be sure everyone in your party gets a different colored handle, or bring a sharpie to mark them so you know whose is whose.

Thanks for the heads up on the different colored handle (we never had the refillable mugs before).

I got this tip off the Dis a few years ago and it's GOLDEN!

Take some cheap household sponges, cut them in smaller one time use sizes, get them wet, and lightly drizzle dishsoap on top of them. Let them air dry. They'll dry with the soap in them and you can pack them in a baggie. When you get to the resort, all you have to do is add hot water and you have a soapy sponge!!!

ETA- whoever shared this idea originally-- THANK YOU! DH thought I was a genious!!!

All I do is rinse it out. No soap. (DVC rooms and possibly suites with kitchens do provide dish soap but no other Disney accommodation does). No one else uses my mug though.

I read that too and plan on trying it! Since we have 5 people there is overlap with our refillable mug handles so I would prefer to have soap available. Oh, and I will use Dawn since it also gets out any grease on clothes ... every vacation it seems like someone's shirt gets ruined when they drop food on it. This way I can treat a stain before it gets too set in. So the sponges have double duty!

I've done this for a few years and it works great. I do it in our room with hot water and take a cloth or two from home for drying them.

It also depends what you put in it We each have our own mugs and don't share them, but I don't like my water to have an aftertaste of cocoa.

I drink coffee in the morning and coke in the evening. When I'm drinking coke, I hate the smell of coffee that gets into the nooks and crannies of the lid if not properly cleaned.

There are only 3 colours of handles and lids. If you have more people than that, you can swap lids around to give you more combinations in order to keep track of which belongs to whom. I wash one at a time to make sure my correct lids and cups stay together.

thanks for the information that there are 3 colors (we have 3 people so its perfect for us)

I like to bring along a foaming hand soap to keep in our room. I think my kids do a better job washing their hands than with bar soap. I used that to wash out our mugs every morning.

I bring foaming hand soap for my son too.

We always use the hot water from the drink stations.

Clean em?? You guys clean those things?? I am still using my 1992 resort mug and havn't cleaned it yet! Sure it holds a little less each year, but that is ok......

Ok, I am joking, I just use really hot water and try to wash out quickly after finishing a drink.

How about Hot water and a Clean washcloth!

That's what we use. We've been doing that since refillable mugs were first introduced and nobody has died (or gotten sick) yet.

 

[mom to minnie&mickey]

We never bother bringing dishwashing liquid or sponges. A little drop of shampoo and hot water works fantastic.

I use the hand soap at the resort - I just make sure that I rinse it well.
