How do you clean your refillable mugs?

[ADisneyQueen]

I used to buy premade soapy cloths but I think they quit making them. What do you bring to wash out your mugs? Is there something I could buy?

Just saw Bounty Paper Towels with Dawn at Wal Mart. Only issue was it was a pack of 8 rolls. Others soak small pieces sponge in dish washing soap and let them dry out.

I clean my filteres water bottle with hot soapy water in my room at night. If you mean during the day at the parks, you could try rinsing them at a water fountain and then wiping with regular old alcohol wipes.

Sorry, what I mean is washing them at the sink near the refill station at the food court.

I get a pack of sponges at the dollar store, cut them in half, then squirt some dish detergent on each one. Let them dry, then put in a baggie. When you are ready to wash, just add water. After washing you can just toss it. We wash ours in the room though - the refill sinks gross me out.

I rinse them. Nothing sits in there long enough to require anything more than rinsing.

We usually fill up and head back to our room with morning coffee and such - so we just use the sink in our room to rinse them out, let them air dry. If we forget, I'll use the little bar of soap in the room to soap up my hand or a wash cloth and scrub them a bit and rinse them well.

Usually just a rinse is all that is needed!

Sometimes if the mug is sticky I fill it with boiling water from the coffee pot dispenser that is meant for making tea. I then rinse it at the sink with regular water.

At the rinse station we just quickly rinse out - don't necessarily wash them there. Back in the room I bring a few of those soap filled sponge/scrubby pads - found them in a three pack at my neighborhood home store. (think I also got them on Amazon one year) I also brought a small dish drying mat to put on the side of the hotel vanity to let them dry.

I still have some of the premade soap cloths that Palmolive (I think) used to make. I've been hoarding them for my Disney trips for years. When they are gone I'll be making my own with sponges and dishwashing liquid. I like the idea of the dish drying mat as we usually put the mugs on a bunch of napkins.

I just put some dish soap in one of those little travel bottles and washed them in the room each night.

When switching from coffee to water after breakfast at the food court, I just rinsed.

I feel like a tramp lol I only rinse mine out, like a previous poster said nothing sits there long enough to warrant more than a rinse.

I don't even think I rinse. I only drink coffee from my mug and I drink up every last drop each time.

We're suppose to clean them out on our trips?!?!?!

The residue from prior trips is called seasoning. Like cast iron.

Another option is to use the hot water at the refill station to rinse and then scrub(sort of) with a lemon wedge. Then rinse with hot water again.

Rinse/wash with dish soap in the room. At the sink in the refill station, I just rinse if we are getting different types of drinks, but I don't even do that if we are refilling with the same type of drink.

Although we dont have anything in our cups that lasts more than an hour or so, I wash them out every morning with hot water.

I travel with a little dish soap in an old travel size shampoo bottle. So - I clean stuff in my room each day. At a refill station - it would just be a rinse.

Prior to kids we just rinsed. After kids we started bringing a small travel dish soap since we were washing their sippy cups anyway, might as well wash the mugs.
