Caring for Your Drinking HornUpdated 23 days ago

🚫 Dishwasher Use

Your drinking horn is not dishwasher safe. While the Norsemen didn’t have dishwashers (and might laugh at the idea), the modern reality is that the heat and detergents can damage your horn. Always wash it by hand.

☕ Hot Beverages

Avoid using your drinking horn for hot drinks like coffee or tea. Horns can warp when exposed to high temperatures. If you love hot beverages, we also have a drinking horn specially designed for hot liquids. You can check it out here: horn-coffee-mug

🪥 Cleaning Instructions

Before your first use, wash your horn with cool water, mild soap, and a soft sponge or brush. Repeat after each use.

For a deeper clean, fill the horn with warm (not hot) water and add a small amount of bleach or vinegar. Let it sit for 4–5 hours, then wash again with mild soap and cool water before using.

🍋 Removing Odors

If your horn has a strong natural smell, try the warm water and bleach/vinegar soak mentioned above. Afterwards, rub lemon peels or apply a few drops of essential lemon oil to the inside of the horn, letting it sit for another 4–5 hours before rinsing and washing.
