How To Clean Resin Cups

Cleaning resin cups can be a daunting task, but it’s important to keep them clean to look their best and function properly.

This guide will walk you through cleaning your resin cups, which starts by wiping down the outside with a damp cloth.

Use a cleanser if necessary, but be careful not to use too much as this could cause the material to become sticky or streaky.

Rinse thoroughly with warm water before drying off completely and storing it in its designated place.

What You’ll Need

All you need is a clean, damp cloth and a mild soap or cleanser to wash the front of your resin cup. Before using a cleanser:

1. Be sure that it is non-abrasive and won’t cause damage to the plastic.
2. If you’re not sure, try applying a small amount to an inconspicuous spot on the exterior of your resin cup first.
3. If no damage appears, proceed as usual with washing your resin cup.

How To Clean Resin Cups

Step One:

1. Wet The Outside Of The Cup First, use a clean sponge or rag to wet down the outside of the cup, being careful not to soak it completely.
2. Squirt a small amount of soap onto the damp area and use your sponge or rag to scrub the soap in a circular motion.
3. Be careful not to apply too much pressure, as this can damage your resin cup and cause it to leak.
4. Rinse and repeat if necessary.

Step Two: 

Clean The Inside Of The Cup Now, flip your resin cup over so that you can clean the inside of the cup. Wet the inside, so it’s damp, adding a small amount of soap if desired.

Scrub again with a sponge or rag in circles for 1-2 minutes until all visible dirt is gone from both sides of the cup. Once finished, rinse well with water before setting it on a flat surface to dry completely.

You should avoid drying cups directly on a towel or other fabric because tiny fibers may get stuck in the cup and damage it, causing it to leak.

Step Three:

1. Dry And Store When your resin cups are clean and dry, you can either store them or use them again.
2. Store your resin cups in their designated spot so they’ll be ready for future use. If you’re planning to reuse them, check with your material supplier to determine how long they need to sit after washing before you can use again.
3. Make sure that you don’t leave any soap residue behind-this could cause issues when using the cup later on.

What Is Resin, And How Does It Differ From Other Materials?

Resin is a plastic material used to create many products, such as garden furniture, tool handles, and lighters. People often use it as an alternative to glass because it’s shatterproof and doesn’t need polishing. For artists, they can use resin for making charms, figurines, and jewelry with a polished appearance similar to glass.

Tips For Cleaning Resin Cups

Cleaning resin cups is not the same as cleaning porcelain figurines. Please avoid the use of strong chemicals because they could damage the material.
