Cleaning Your Yeti Mug with Bar Keepers Friend

Our Coffee Maker Cleaner Can Be a Mug Cleaner too!

Did you know you can use BKF Coffee Maker Cleaner to clean your Yeti mug? The best part is that it only takes a few minutes to clean your mug deeply with BKF Coffee Maker Cleaner.

• Place the mug in the sink.
• Add one ounce of BKF Coffee Maker Cleaner for every eight ounces of warm water to the mug.
• Allow the solution to soak for a few minutes. If your mug has been under the seat of your car for a week, you can soak it for up to 30 minutes.
• Empty the mixture. It’s safe to pour it down the drain. All BKF products are biodegradable.
• Wipe the mug clean with a damp sponge, non-scratch scrub pad, or soft-bristled brush.
• Rinse your Yeti mug thoroughly and wipe dry with a soft cloth or paper towel.

Using the original BKF Powder Cleanser

Rinse your mug under the tap, then sprinkle a small coating of powder into it. Using a soft cloth or sponge, make a paste and coat the inside of your Yeti mug. Next, let it sit for one minute. Once the minute is up, gently scrub. Rinse and then dry with a soft cloth or paper towel. Here’s a video from a user showing how well it works:

“If you have a Yeti Tumbler – or something similar and is coffee stained —— use this stuff! My Yeti had a coffee colored hue on the inside. Used this stuff and it looked brand new. Love when a product does what is actually advertised.” — Verified Amazon Customer

How About the Soft Cleanser and More Spray + Foam?

BKF Soft Cleanser is a premixed formula that is more convenient for quick or routine cleaning. It’s excellent for cleaning a Yeti mug, as it’s formulated to remove stains, tarnishes, and mineral deposits.

For more everyday cleaning, we recommend using our multi-purpose cleaner, BKF MORE Spray + Foam!  When set to foam, it will stay on the horizontal surfaces of your mug. All you do is foam it on, let it sit for a minute, and wipe it off. Be sure to thoroughly rinse and wipe it dry with a soft cloth or paper towel before using it.
