    I wash mine with Vodka.  Kills anything in there.

    Hey I have more than one coffee mug with h20 sloshing around in their walls cause I ignored such "rulz".  I was just asking @nolaegghead since I sense he takes good care of his stuff

    Tervis is dishwasher safe, Yeti is not.

    We've gotten a few lip cracks in our Tervis's and I attribute those to the dishwasher.  Good thing about Tervis's is their no BS replacement policy.   Just a pita to go ship a few every once in awhile.

    If I get one, I think I'll splurge an extra $15 and get one of those powder coated ones from Roswell Hardware.

    Unless Yeti is code for an anatomical part, I don't polish it because it's a tool.  We just throw ours in the dishwasher every now and then.
    They are explicit about not dishwashering it Nola.  Did you decide that was really for the lid or ?.
    Yep.  Read that.  The inside is a vacuum and the outside stainless.   We've been running ours through the dishwasher for about a year and no problems.  I'll be sure to report one to y'all if we have an incident.

    Thanks to all you eggers who posted replies which showed that you understood what I was trying to say/ask. I have to now wonder what reply we can expect from you folks who spent extra for the cool hydro coatings. Can you clean the fingerprints off of them or does the hydro coating prevent that issue? 

    Anybody want to step up to bat? LOL

    The folks that delivered our stainless kitchen appliances said that a periodic polishing with something that has lemon in it will prevent fingerprints and they were right.
    We use either Old English with lemon or Pledge with lemon and have no visible prints on the appliances.

    @nolaegghead do you run the heated dry cycle in your dishwasher or just the air dry?  Top rack for the yetis or wherever?
    Love you bro!

    @Legume - We don't discriminate.  Top or bottom shelf.  We use the "Sanitize" option when we wash.  Our dishwasher is a Bosch and doesn't have a visible heating element - I think it sanitizes with super hot water then just blows air around to dry.  Stuff doesn't seem to melt as much on the bottom shelf as our last dishwasher which had a large visible heating element on the bottom.

    @nolaegghead Yep my Mother has the same dishwasher and the SS interior reflects the heat of the water being used and efficiently dries w/out the use of an element. Quiet too. 
    Washing them in this style is really no different than washing by hand but, that's just my opinion. I'll handwash ours because the heat given off by the heating element in ours has many times melted items and/or deformed them. I can certainly turn off said element but, we somehow always end up bumping it on so...
    As to washing I find rinsing with a quick sanitize is all that's needed and Barkeepers Friend keeps all my SS looking good.

    I'll Polish mine when I'm retired. Until then "Ain't nobody got time for that!"

    Just wash with soapy hot water occasionally and when switching to a different type of beverage. I don't mind them looking lived in...

    I love our Bosch DW except that useless silverware holder 

    you could sit on the floor next to it and not hear it running
