How to Care for your THIRST MATE
THIRST MATE is made from Polypropylene (PP#5) and is recyclable. It’s pretty indestructible, but here are a few tips to get the most from your beloved drink float:
TO REMOVE THE LABEL:
Some Mates have had trouble getting the label off of some batches. The easiest way is to use a hair dryer or heat gun on low to warm the sticker and peel it off. Don’t burn yourself or your TM! If it comes off or only partially does, just grab a paper towel, put some rubbing alcohol (90% for best results) on it and let it sit on the sticker area for 3min, then use it to wipe the rest of the label and goo off.
‘Goof-Off’ can be used to remove sticky residue as well.
TO CLEAN YOUR THIRST MATE:
THIRST MATE can be easily cleaned with soap and water. You can also drop them into the TOP RACK of your dish washer with low or no heat drying.
