Thank you so much - my lid smelt awful and no amount of cleaning the 3 gaskets helped. This has allowed me to clean it and make it like new!! Greatly appreciated. Now to do my husband's and my mum's flasks.
Yes these lids are tough to clean. I've had mine for 7 years orso and left it in a hot car for a week or two on many occasions... the inside of the lid had so much tar-like goop in it the open-close mechanism got stuck. I finally got it working again after a complete deep cleaning with sodium hydroxide
You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar . My husband lost his mind when i "broke" his lid cleaning out some nasty black sludge.. now i can fix it and he can shut up
😂😂...Came here to say pretty much the ssme thing but you took the words right outta my mouth!! - and made me hoot with laughter (Thank You). I think we must share a husband! i hope he is still "above ground" ....and has shut up 😀
BRAVO! This is by far the most detailed video I've seen revealing the crevices buildup and debris can occur in this lid. I did not remove the center spindle, but I have removed the small gasket there. I was shocked at the chunks of the debris I was able to clean out of there. This was after years of use. I am blown away and quite grateful of your detail. Thank you!!
My husband brews tea every morning, and because we couldn't figure out how to clean the buildup in the lid especially, I have replaced more than a few of these mugs (which we otherwise think are the BEST out there!) due to the disgusting state they get in. The worst part (outside of the expense) is that it's always a challenge to find the color he likes, so just when he gets attached it seems as if I'm searching for a new one. Fortunately, he came across this video and we just can't find enough nice words to say to you, so we hope a BIG THANK YOU works. Greg, YOU ROCK!!!
Well done, sir. I just bought one of these mugs and I’m overall delighted. I’ve already done the quick and easy clean involving removal of the quarter turn nut and the associated parts but I haven’t done the full disassembly approach yet. I’m curious if you (or anyone else reading this) have an opinion on how often the lid should be fully disassembled for cleaning.
Any chance you could do a step-by-step reassembly? I’m having trouble realigning the open closed function and I have something not installed right or lined up right and I don’t know where my mistake is. Thank you.
