Full details
This Bo-Camp Tea Glass is designed for outdoor enthusiasts and anyone seeking a durable, reusable beverage container. Its key benefit is its virtually unbreakable nature, offering peace of mind during travel or casual use.

Troubleshooting
Glass appears cloudy after washing.
Ensure you are using a standard dishwasher detergent. Hard water deposits can sometimes cause cloudiness; a rinse aid can help prevent this. For hand washing, use a soft cloth.
Minor scratches are visible.
While designed to be scratch-resistant, very fine scratches may appear over extended use with abrasive materials. Try a plastic polish specifically designed for polycarbonate for minor surface scratches. Avoid using rough cleaning tools.
Beverage feels lukewarm quickly.
Polycarbonate is a good insulator but not as effective as double-walled or ceramic materials. For beverages that need to stay hot for longer periods, consider a thermos or insulated mug.
