A practical, step-by-step guide to cleaning and caring for your WatchHouse x Monoware mug so the Bermondsey Biscuit glaze stays looking its best.
Quick answer
Hand-wash your WatchHouse x Monoware mug with warm water and a gentle dish soap after each use, then dry it fully. Avoid sudden temperature changes and abrasive cleaners to protect the glaze.
Why the glaze needs gentle care
The WatchHouse x Monoware mug is finished with a uniquely developed ‘Bermondsey Biscuit’ glaze, available exclusively at WatchHouse. This glaze gives the mug its distinctive look, but like any ceramic glaze, it can be dulled by harsh detergents or scratched by abrasive tools. Gentle care preserves both the appearance and the feel of the mug in your hand.
When to skip the dishwasher
The product information does not specify whether this mug is dishwasher-safe. When a care detail is not supplied, treat it as a limitation and choose the safer route: hand-washing. Dishwasher detergents and high heat can gradually wear down glazes over time, so hand-washing is the most reliable way to keep the Bermondsey Biscuit finish looking new.
Step-by-step mug care
- Rinse promptly after use: Rinse the mug with warm water as soon as you finish your coffee to prevent residue from drying. Common mistake: letting coffee sit for hours, which makes stains harder to remove. A quick rinse now saves scrubbing later.
- Wash by hand with gentle soap: Use a soft sponge or cloth and a small amount of mild dish soap in warm water. Avoid abrasive scrubbers like steel wool. Checkpoint: if the sponge feels rough, it may scratch the glaze. Soft tools only—no scouring pads.
- Tackle stains with baking soda: For coffee or tea stains, make a paste of baking soda and water, apply gently with a soft cloth, and rinse thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners. Checkpoint: if the stain persists after two tries, a longer soak in baking soda paste may help. Baking soda lifts stains without abrasion.
- Dry completely before storing: Hand-dry with a clean towel or let it air-dry upside down on a rack. Storing a damp mug can encourage odors or mildew. Checkpoint: ensure no moisture remains inside before stacking. Dry fully to keep the mug fresh.
- Avoid sudden temperature changes: Pre-warm the mug with warm tap water before pouring very hot coffee, and never place a cold mug directly into hot water. Common mistake: pouring boiling water into a chilled mug, which can stress ceramic. Gradual temperature shifts prevent cracks.
