FAQs
Is the Smidge Travel Cup dishwasher safe?
It is generally recommended to hand-wash the cup to preserve the vacuum seal and the outer finish for the longest lifespan.
Can I put carbonated drinks in this cup?
While the cup is leak-proof, carbonated drinks can create pressure build-up. We recommend caution when opening the lid after storing carbonated beverages.
Is the material BPA free?
Yes, the Smidge Travel Cup is designed with food-safe materials, ensuring no BPA or harmful chemicals leach into your beverage.
How do I deep clean the lid?
The lid is designed to disassemble into smaller parts. You can soak these parts in warm soapy water to ensure a thorough clean of all seals and threads.
Does the cup fit in car cup holders?
The Smidge Travel Cup is designed with a standard base diameter intended to fit most automotive cup holders comfortably.
How long will the insulation last?
The double-walled vacuum design maintains heat for up to 6 hours and keeps cold drinks chilled for up to 12 hours.
Troubleshooting
Lid appears to be leaking
Check that the silicone gasket is properly aligned and clean. Ensure the lid is screwed on straight and tightened firmly.
Beverage is not staying hot/cold as expected
Pre-heat or pre-chill the cup by filling it with hot or cold water for a few minutes before pouring in your drink. Ensure the lid is fully tightened to maintain the vacuum seal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure the silicone seal is correctly seated inside the lid before first use. To clean the cup, twist the lid components apart to access the inner grooves; wash with warm soapy water and a soft brush to remove residual oils or sugars. While the cup is made of stainless steel, it is best to avoid abrasive scrubbers that could damage the outer finish. Always store the lid and cup separately when not in use to ensure the internal components dry completely and prevent any lingering odors.
