Can a stainless-steel thermos go in the dishwasher? Check its model and lid

Dishwasher guidance differs even within a brand: some Thermos Icon cold-water bottles allow top-rack washing, while the 14oz Icon warm-drink mug recommends handwashing.

Thermos lists its 18oz Icon insulated cold-water bottle as dishwasher-safe on the top rack. In its June 4, 2026 launch article, Thermos recommends handwashing the 14oz Icon warm-beverage mug. Model-specific care labels take priority.

Find the exact model number and instructions. Capacity, lid style and product generation can change the allowed cleaning method even within one brand.
Empty the bottle and allow it to cool completely before handling; never open or dismantle it while scalding liquid remains.
Separate only the lid, stopper and seals that your manufacturer says are removable. Do not force fixed parts.
Use a dishwasher only for a model explicitly labeled dishwasher safe, observing limits such as the top rack for the Thermos 18oz Icon cold bottle. Handwash models marked handwash recommended with a soft sponge and mild detergent.
Gently clean the drinking spout and permitted lid crevices; rinse thoroughly. Avoid metal scouring pads or chlorine bleach unless the maker specifically permits them.
Dry every part fully before reassembling. Check that the interior and lid are dry before long-term storage.
