To tackle mold and mildew growth inside your Stanley thermos, several effective cleaning methods can help eliminate these unwanted intruders.

• Baking soda serves as a versatile and non-toxic solution, acting as a natural mold treatment. By combining equal parts baking soda and liquid dish soap, you can create a paste to scrub away moldy areas, followed by a vinegar spray for reinforcement.
• Additionally, hydrogen peroxide, known for its antiseptic properties, can be sprayed directly onto the mold and left to sit before wiping clean. For a heat-sensitive approach, filling your thermos with boiling water and allowing it to sit overnight can effectively disinfect and remove mold.
• Lemon juice, tea tree oil, and grapefruit seed extract also offer natural alternatives with antimicrobial properties, providing effective mold removal while leaving behind a refreshing scent.

These methods can help restore your Stanley thermos to its pristine condition, ensuring safe and enjoyable use for your hiking adventures.
