Thank you! I knew how to take the rubber gasket off, but I have been battling to figure out how to clean the magnetic part. I finally got my cup entirely clean! Thank you so much! I was starting to wonder if I wasn’t going to have to throw out my lid and buy another lid.
Jeez I feel bad , I have like a dozen Yeti tumblers of various sizes and some I’ve had for 10 years and have never done this to them . I guess I must drink enough cocktails out of them that it must keep them clean . Now I’m going to be thinking about that gasket . Thanks for sharing
Yes, definitely try to clean the gasket often as bacteria can build up behind the gasket and possibly mold. 😳 Appreciate your comment and thanks for watching! 🙂
A toothpick or prying is not necessary if the gasket is warm. Grasp the gasket between your thumb and index finger across the lid's diameter and pull. It helps if it is fairly clean and wet, as during routine washing with dish soap and water.
I've also used denture cleaner to clean the mug, itself. Hot water, two denture cleaner tablets, let it soak 10-15 minutes. Pour it out and immediately wipe out the inside while it's still wet. If there's still coffee stain, repeat. It shouldn't take more than 1-2 times to get all the stains out. I'm glad to know about the vinegar and dish detergent. Thanks!
Barkeepers Friend works excellent on the tumbler and anything else stainless steel, mine looks like new, as does my 15 year old pots and pans. I will definitely try your method on the lid, gasket and slider though.
I would also recommend either using a clean bottle brush on the inside of the container, or run it thru the dishwasher. It’s stainless steel, so it is OK in the dishwasher. You never want to put aluminum containers in there though.
The best way I've found to clean any tumbler is a dishwasher tablet. It comes out looking like new! I leave it soak for a half hour or so and then i pour that into another bottle.
Are you able to see how the permanently attached black counterpart for the slide is joined to the polycarbonate material of the lid? Is it pressed on, which would mean that there's a gap between it and the lid, or is it somehow molded in which would mean there doesn't have to be a gap. If there's a gap, there will also be microbial growth, and a small gap would be impossible to clean (but could perhaps be sterilized if the materials used for the lid can tolerate a strong enough substance).
Get a little basket for your dishwasher. The type used to wash baby bottle accessories. Take the lid apart and put all of the pieces in the basket. Easy peasy and you won't have all of that grimy build up
@@CarolinaEmber Thanks for replying! I did check on Yeti's website before you replied and they are indeed dishwasher safe. Your experience confirms that. Many of these insulated mugs are not dishwasher safe, so I would consider that a real plus of Yeti products.
You can also use a 50/50 mixture of Clorox with water in a spray bottle. Spray the bottle from the top down. Let it soak for a few minutes and then rinse good. This mixture will break all the proteins in the coffee and will make shiny.
A simple dishwashing sponge and dish soap will do just fine. And that magnetic slide should be removed and cleaned after each use. The cup shown was filthy to begin with.
How did YT know that I have this model? This video was put on my suggestion screen without asking. It was a gift & I never researched tumblers. Creepy.
I ordered this model of Yeti tumbler through Amazon. It was delivered yesterday afternoon. Today, this video shows up on my YT feed. You are correct, this is creepy. Perhaps Amazon AI is communicating with YT's?
That isss kinda 👀... but we're glad it brought you here to our video! Thanks for watching and hope this was insightful to keep your new gift spotless! 🙂
Nope, I use a wet dish cloth and baking soda to scrap whatever microscopic crud is on the rubber band that goes around lid and the top and inside of tumbler, then use dishsoap on the entire Tumbler.
Although this good, don't store with lid on when it's not going to be used. Be mind full of how stiff the bristles on brush you may use so as not scratch making places for schmutz to collect.
Oxiclean, or better, pure sodium percarbonate, will clean better and remove discoloration of stainless steel. Home brewers use this to clean their equipment. I have a Yeti that was gifted to me. The Walmart Ozark Trail works just as well for less than a third of the price. Tested both hot and cold…identical performance.

Never took the gasket off but will from now on. Never thought my cleaning was thorough. Now, I know it really wasn’t. Will do this in future.
You have to take the gasket off to clean underneath it. I do it with an old toothbrush 🪥 and it gets the job done!
Yes, definitely try to clean the gasket often as bacteria can build up behind the gasket and possibly mold. 😳 Appreciate your comment and thanks for watching! 🙂
You and me both!
Taking the gasket off is the key. Nasty black stuff is under there and on the gasket itself.
A toothpick or prying is not necessary if the gasket is warm. Grasp the gasket between your thumb and index finger across the lid's diameter and pull. It helps if it is fairly clean and wet, as during routine washing with dish soap and water.
Thanks for the suggestion! And thanks for watching! 🙂
Great, useful instructional video. The duration is just right. It gives the necessary information without running on. I'll subscribe to the channel.
I've also used denture cleaner to clean the mug, itself. Hot water, two denture cleaner tablets, let it soak 10-15 minutes. Pour it out and immediately wipe out the inside while it's still wet. If there's still coffee stain, repeat. It shouldn't take more than 1-2 times to get all the stains out.

Thanks for the tip! Appreciate your comment and thanks for watching! 🙂
Make sure rubber gasket is facing correctly or it will not work properly.
Oh yes, definitely important reminder to have the wider blade up closer to lid. Thanks for your comment and thanks for watching! 🙂
That was explained in the video.
I have done this cleaning weekly. After someone told me about the illness.
Yeti tumblers are dishwasher safe. Remove the gasket. Remove the slider part. Put it all in the dishwasher. Done.
Barkeepers Friend works excellent on the tumbler and anything else stainless steel, mine looks like new, as does my 15 year old pots and pans.
I will definitely try your method on the lid, gasket and slider though.
Thanks for the easy to follow instructions. I definitely need to do this soon.
I use an old toothbrush but not the vinegar. Will do that now! 👍🏽
Yep, old toothbrushes are handy! Thanks for watching! 🙂
Thanks for showing me that the gasket is removable and how to do it! It was gross...
My Yeti tumbler lid is a removable screw top. No slider, nor gasket either, but this video is informative. Thank you.
Maybe we need another video...? 🤔😅 Thanks for watching! 🙂
I would also recommend either using a clean bottle brush on the inside of the container, or run it thru the dishwasher. It’s stainless steel, so it is OK in the dishwasher. You never want to put aluminum containers in there though.
What about the magnet on inside of lid?
Good idea!!

I heard in a news report about a couple that ended up hospitalized because of this reason of people not washing the rubber gaskets.
Yep it's scary, bacteria can build behind the gaskets and potentially become mold. 😳 Def should wash often. Thanks for watching! 🙂
Put a couple of drops of vegetable oil on the gasket after you install it on the lid and before you put it on the tumbler. It will work much better.
Great suggestion! Thank you for your support! 😊

Magic eraser cleans the tumbler itself faster than anything I've tried.
LIKE 20 👍 Thank you for sharing valuable informative content 💯 I enjoyed the video very much 🌟😁🎉 Greetings from Korea 🇰🇷
Thanks for your support! 🙂
Get a little basket for your dishwasher. The type used to wash baby bottle accessories. Take the lid apart and put all of the pieces in the basket. Easy peasy and you won't have all of that grimy build up
Great suggestion, just set it and forget it. 😀 Thanks for watching! 🙂
Absolutely agree on the basket in dishwasher for lid gasket, on “Sanitize function” being the easier method.
Is the plastic lid "dishwasher safe?"
@@SignorLuigi I put the entire cup on top shelf in dishwasher and never had a problem with mine.
@@CarolinaEmber Thanks for replying! I did check on Yeti's website before you replied and they are indeed dishwasher safe. Your experience confirms that. Many of these insulated mugs are not dishwasher safe, so I would consider that a real plus of Yeti products.
You can take them apart after each use and run them through the dishwasher
How many people took a swig from the cup while cleaning the lid?
I use denture cleaner (e.g., Polident) to clean.
Thanks for the tip and thanks for watching! 🙂

I remove my rubber seal and clean it after each use. Never had an obnoxious odor smell .Don’t need to use vinegar just dishwashing soap works fine.
thank you

For as much as they charge for them they should clean themselves 🎉

@@mikefisc9989 Same as 👆, we're glad it brought you here to our video! Thanks for watching and hope you enjoy your Yeti! 🙂
You have a email associated with Amazon and TH-cam. That's how they know. It know what your doing @mikefisc9989
I take the gasket off every time I wash it. I never have a problem with odor in my cup. If you leave it together to wash it, that's nasty.
I use an old toothbrush for everyday cleaning.
Old toothbrushes are great, we keep a stash ourselves! 😅😆 Thanks for watching! 🙂
I wash mine by hand after every time I use it. Including the rubber ring. Just nasty not to!
Ok, but how do I remove the coffee stain from the lid?
That’s what the vinegar does
Nope, I use a wet dish cloth and baking soda to scrap whatever microscopic crud is on the rubber band that goes around lid and the top and inside of tumbler, then use dishsoap on the entire Tumbler.
I use denture cleaning tablets. Let the tablet soak for 10 min and voila! Like new
Also do not store with lid on
Now the musty smell is gone. It’s been replaced by the smell of vinegar.
That smell disappears.
Just bleach it! For crying out loud. 😅
Although this good, don't store with lid on when it's not going to be used. Be mind full of how stiff the bristles on brush you may use so as not scratch making places for schmutz to collect.
Spray bleach cleaner
You mean the solution isnt just buy a new one? My wife has 600 of these things.
Caps suck. Won’t stay closed.
I have never understood how parents put their kids sippy cups in the dishwasher and think it’s clean. Yyyuuuck!

LOL, the lid was already clean. Try it on a really dirty lid.
This AI text-to-speech narration is horrible.
Wow i can't Imagine not cleaning your cup on a regular basis ! Just plain nasty 😮
Not helpful.
Dont remove parts , you'll need to buy a new cuz the parts get loose
I've had my cup for over a year. I take it apart daily for cleaning. everything still fits together like new.
@@BillGreen206 right
Or simply buy a new Yeti!
The best way to care for a yeti cup is to trash it and get a thermos cup. They’re better cups and don’t have an anti 2A philosophy.
Pretty pathetic that people need a video of how to wash something.
Thank you
Thanks for watching! 🙂
