What is the method to remove the odor of travel cups?
The reason for the plastic odor in PC material travel cups may be due to the addition of plastic additives during the production process, which may be released at high temperatures, causing the cups to have an unpleasant odor. Here are some methods to remove odors:
1. Cleaning: First, clean the cup with warm water and detergent, especially the inside and bottom of the cup. Detergents can help remove dirt and odors from the surface of cups.
2. Vinegar: Pour some white vinegar or apple cider vinegar into a cup, cover it with a lid, shake well, let it stand for a few minutes, then pour out the vinegar, and clean it with clean water. Vinegar can help remove odors and also disinfect.
3. Tea: Pour some tea leaves into a cup, pour in boiling water, wait for a few minutes, then pour out the tea leaves and clean them with clean water. The polyphenols in tea can help remove odors.
4. Lemon: Slice lemon or squeeze lemon juice into a glass, pour in boiling water, wait for a few minutes, then pour out the lemon water and rinse with clean water. Lemons can help remove odors.
5. Activated carbon: Put some activated carbon into a cup, cover it with a lid and let it sit for a few hours, then remove the activated carbon and clean it with clean water. Activated carbon can adsorb odors and pollutants.
After trying the above methods, if there is still an odor, you can reuse these methods or combine them until the odor is completely removed. Meanwhile, when using cups, avoid prolonged use of hot water or acidic liquids, as this may accelerate plastic aging and produce more odors.
