How To Clean Film Off Tervis Tumbler
Coconut oil is all the rage and I am hooked! This is some cool stuff! Apparently, there are 101 Uses for Coconut Oil and I've got another one to add to that list.
Tervis tumblers are also all the rage lately. (They've been around since 1946, actually!) Although the Tervis company has a LIFETIME GUARNTEE, I was still looking for a way to restore my tumblers that have been etched by sunscreen. As a researcher, the first place I went to look for information on how to fix my cups was on the internet. I found that someone suggested using toilet bowl cleaner! Ew! Most of my searches ended with more information about how great the Tervis return policy is. I was still looking for my own fix, though.
So, back to the coconut oil. Coconut oil is also touted for its success in reminerlizing teeth. I don't really know what that means, but it sounds good. I starting using coconut oil with a little baking soda added to it to create a paste as my new toothpaste. I'm freakishly IN LOVE with my new coconut oil and baking soda toothpaste! It is so different and it does such a good job. I feel like I've just spent time at the dentist while drinking a pina colata. Delightful!
While brushing my teeth one weekend, I spied my Tervis tumbler and had an idea. Why not try my "toothpaste" on a cup? The cup couldn't really look any worse...

| Tervis Tumbler all etched from sunscreen. |
 |
| The lid also looking shabby. Reminder: Most chapstick, lip balms, and lip sticks have sunscreen in them. |
 |
| In this picture, notice that you can't even see through the cup! |
 |
| Again, notice that the glass is so foggy that you can't even see through it. |
 |
| The "toothpaste" Coconut oil and baking soda mixed to the thickness of a traditional toothpaste. |
 |
| Coconut oil is solid! (Not what one typically thinks of as "oil".) |
 |
| I use a wooden coffee stir stick to put the toothpaste on my toothbrush and used that to spread some of the paste onto my cloudy Tervis tumbler. |
 |
| I started with a test strip. |
 |
| And made a note of the time. |
 |
| While I was waiting on the concoction to work, I noticed that a sand dollar I had on display was a little dusty. How about a little coconut oil? |
 |
| Beautiful! Remineralizing? |
 |
| After ten minutes, I wiped off the paste. |
 |
| Lo and behold! It took off a lot of the scum! |
 |
| The shiny stripe is hard to see, but it really did work! So, why not try the whole cup? |
 |
| OMG! For about ten minutes, I rubbed the coconut oil and baking soda "toothpaste" all around the cup...inside and outside. |
