Thermal flasks are compact and great for keeping beverages hot or cold. Their name speaks for itself, but do you know how to properly use and care for one? Read on to find out more.
1 Why Do Thermal Flasks Break Easily?
Many people find that their thermal flasks stop functioning properly soon after purchase. This is likely due to improper use and maintenance. It’s important to use separate flasks for hot and cold beverages. Switching between hot and cold liquids can damage the flask.
Each thermal flask has a specific temperature and duration for heat retention, as specified by the manufacturer. Using the flask beyond its specified temperature can cause burns and reduce its lifespan.
Additionally, avoid storing fruit juices, carbonated drinks, and milk in your thermal flask as they can cause damage to the flask over time.
Dropping or denting your thermal flask can also affect its performance. Such physical damage can impact the internal components, reducing its heat retention capabilities and overall lifespan.
2 How to Properly Use a New Thermal Flask
When you get a new thermal flask, it’s important to clean it first to eliminate any odors. Rinse it with clean water, then warm water, and add some dish soap. Shake well, and rinse again with warm water to remove any residual smell.

If you plan to use your flask for cold beverages, start by adding a small amount of cold water, swirl it around, and let it sit for 2 minutes to adjust to the temperature. Do the same if you intend to use it for hot beverages.
Avoid filling your flask to the brim. Leave about 2cm of space from the top to optimize heat retention and prolong the lifespan of your flask.
After using your thermal flask, wash it with water and a soft cleaning tool. Dry it thoroughly and store it in a safe place to prevent bacterial growth.
