There is a question about whether the ozark trail cups are dishwasher safe.
Ozark Trail cups are great for keeping drinks cold or hot.Is Ozark Trail cups dishwasher safe?
Why aren't they dishwasher safe?How should you wash them if you put them in the dishwasher?
The cups are not dishwasher safe.The main cup can't be washed in the dishwasher.The vacuum seal can be broken by the dishwasher.They should be washed with warm water.
Walmart's brand of tumblers are called Ozark Trail and they say "huntingwaterfalls" on the product listing.
The only exception to this rule is the Yeti cup which is dishwasher proof as the company makes a higher quality product and has done the testing to ensure it can handle the dishwasher.
What would happen if you put the Ozark Trail tumbler in the dishwasher?
It's likely nothing.eval(ez_write_tag)
The vacuum seal of the cup can be damaged if it is put through the dishwasher.
Something to do with the high heat of the drying cycle can damage the seal, and with a lot of these cups they use lead to create it, I can see why this could be possible.
There have been reports of people using the dishwasher to clean their cups.The cup was clean and no damage was done.
I run both of them through the dishwasher every week.In the last 6 months, at least 50 times.No problem.It looses the vacuum.
I couldn't find any reports of a vacuum seal loss after a cup was put in the dishwasher.Even though the cup is only $10, most people hand wash it because they don't want to take the risk.
I have heard that the dishwasher can cause a problem with the exterior powder coated paint.I couldn't find any reports of this happening to people.
If the vacuum seal on your cup is lost due to a manufacturing defect, the company will most likely replace it for you.
You need to have used the product in line with their instructions in order to claim your warranty.
If you place the dishwasher in the wrong place it voids your warranty and you can't get a replacement.
If you don't tell Walmart you put your cup in the dishwasher, they will not know.
One of the biggest problems with the cups is that they lose their vacuum seal.I'm pretty sure Walmart processes warranty claims and gets these complaints all the time.
The lid of the tumblers are dishwasher proof.
All you have to do is put them on the top rack of your dishwasher and cycle them.
The dishwasher won't clean this away because the rubber gasket mold can build up.
Remove the gasket from the lid and give it a good scrub to get rid of mold.Before putting them back together, leave them to dry separately.
If you don't do this, you can find that you are drinking mold spores, which can make you sick.Make sure the lid is clean.
