Review on Ello Devon Glass Tumbler Straw by Matthew Goozmer

Revainrating 1 out of 5

How to remove residual odor.

Exactly as described but slightly smaller than expected. I'm writing this review because many have complained about the smell coming from the cork (silicone?) that holds the lid in place. A very simple fix I learned from the silicone gasket on my Instant Pot is to place the gasket or cork (I left wood) in a ziplock bag with some baking soda - maybe about 3/4 cup - I have not measured - I just pour it until the ring was dipped in baking soda and then seal it and leave it alone for a couple of days. I can't remember how long it took (maybe 3 days) and the smell was completely gone and odorless! When I couldn't feel anything anymore, I fished it out and washed it off. No big deal - works great and has no aftertaste!

Pros
  • Easy to Clean: The mouth is wide enough for easy cleaning. The mug can be washed in the dishwasher. Hand wash cover to avoid deformation. The silicone sleeve does not need to be removed for cleaning.
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for elderly
