Is Enamel Mug dishwasher safe?
Sometimes — with care
Enamel mugs are generally dishwasher safe but hand washing is recommended to preserve the enamel coating.
Why
Enamel is made by fusing glass to metal, which can withstand dishwasher heat and detergents. However, harsh detergents and high heat may cause chipping or fading over time, so many manufacturers advise hand washing for longevity.
How to wash it
Hand wash with mild soap and a soft sponge, avoiding abrasive scrubbers. If using a dishwasher, place on the top rack and use a gentle cycle.
