How to Care for Your Custom Pet Mug and Keep It Beautiful for Years
A hand-painted ceramic pet mug is more than just a vessel for your morning coffee — it’s a personal piece of art, a memory captured in color and glaze. Taking good care of it ensures that the colors stay vibrant and the mug stays functional and beautiful over time.1. Avoid drops and hard impactsCeramics may feel sturdy, but they’re still fragile. To prevent cracks or chips:
-
Place the mug securely on shelves or tabletops.
-
Avoid stacking mugs without soft padding between them.
3. Avoid scrubbing the painted area aggressivelyEven though painted mugs are glazed, scrubbing with steel wool or harsh brushes may wear down the design.
-
Always use a soft sponge or dishcloth.
-
Don’t soak the mug for hours in soapy water.
-
Only microwave mugs that are clearly marked as microwave-safe.
-
When in doubt, pour hot water into the mug instead of heating it with fire or coils.
-
A shaded shelf or enclosed cabinet.
-
Use paper towels to absorb moisture if stored in humid environments.
6. Inspect regularly for cracks or wearIf you notice changes in texture, such as tiny cracks or absorbent bases:
-
Reduce the use of very hot liquids.
-
