My theory is that the high pressure hot water in some dishwashers could peel off the treeline silhouette graphic. Well, I put mine on the top rack, and it came out fine, no peeling logo, and the weird smell is totally gone!Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18346864841511263156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5847764001302473118.post-35673045475808271692010-06-21T11:10:04.382-07:002010-06-21T11:10:04.382-07:00Just to add, it does seem as if we're finding ...Just to add, it does seem as if we're finding out more about the nasty effects of plastic every year. I'm in the petfood industry for my day job, and I know many vets and people who are into holistic petcare recommend only stainless steel for pet dishes and bowls, we all know that aluminum is bad stuff too, with a rumored link to alzheimer's from aluminum oxide deodorant and alunimun beverage cans! Gah! is nothing safe!!!!!!!!!!!Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18346864841511263156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5847764001302473118.post-43147073491817836422010-06-21T11:04:45.944-07:002010-06-21T11:04:45.944-07:00thanks Lowly.

They say handwash only too... thanks for the baking soda tip, i never woulda remembered that. I know there are lots of other nasty things in plastic that can leach out into your beverage, so I appreciate your words. I do feel that REI and Stanley are probably on top of things like this, just as Nalgene/Camelback and everyone else was fairly quick to respond once Bpa was definitively determined to be fucked up stuff. Who knows what kind of long term damage plastics will do to us, our generation may not find out until we're sick old senior citizens! I guess I'm not too worried, medically I should be dead already from multiple, massive bloodclots in my lungs...twice, so I'm not about to let a puny little mug do a number on me!!<br /><br />thanks for reading and commenting!Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18346864841511263156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5847764001302473118.post-2861511009807785302010-06-20T22:09:07.969-07:002010-06-20T22:09:07.969-07:00If it's poly-vinyl, whatever kind, I wouldn...If it's poly-vinyl, whatever kind, I wouldn't drink any hot drinks out of it regardless of what isn't in it.<br /><br />As to to any kind of of odor, Baking Soda is a very efficient, low-tech de-smellifier. A few tablespoons and a fill up with water and a day later a lot of the smell will be gone.lowlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01487791314264267615noreply@blogger.com
