Caring For And Cleaning Snack Cups

Proper care and cleaning of snack cups ensure they stay safe and last through many snack times. Cleaning each part thoroughly, especially lids and inner grooves, helps maintain hygiene and keeps the cup looking new. Here are a few essential cleaning tips to keep your snack cups in top shape:

Hand-Wash When Possible

Although some snack cups are dishwasher-safe, hand-washing is often recommended to preserve the durability of silicone and plastic parts. This method helps prevent wear from high dishwasher heat, especially for items with printed designs or softer materials. At Itzy Ritzy, we recommend hand-washing our snack cups to maintain their vibrant designs and secure functionality over time.

Use Mild Soap And Warm Water

Wash snack cups with mild, non-abrasive soap and warm water for effective cleaning. This prevents the buildup of food residue without exposing the cup’s materials to harsh chemicals or scrubbing that could damage the surface. A soft brush or sponge can be used for hard-to-reach areas, ensuring the entire cup is thoroughly cleaned.

Dry Completely Before Reassembling

Allow all parts of the snack cup to dry completely before putting them back together or storing them. This helps prevent moisture from getting trapped, which can lead to mold or unpleasant odors over time. Ensuring each part is fully dry keeps your snack cup fresh and ready for the next use.
