FAQs
Can I write on the mug with a pen or marker?
It is recommended to only use a standard graphite pencil. Pens and markers may not be erasable and could permanently damage the messaging surface or the mug's design.
How do I remove a message I've written?
You can remove the pencil message by gently rubbing it with a soft, dry cloth or a standard pencil eraser.
Is the mug dishwasher safe?
No, the mug is not dishwasher safe. Hand washing is required to preserve both the Tatty Teddy design and any written messages.
Can I put the mug in the microwave?
It is not recommended to use this mug in the microwave.
What kind of pencil should I use?
A standard graphite pencil, such as an HB or 2B, works best. Avoid very hard pencils that might scratch the surface or very soft pencils that might smudge excessively.
Will the message last forever?
Messages written in pencil are not permanent. They can be erased and rewritten. For longevity, avoid excessive rubbing and harsh cleaning.
Is this mug suitable for children?
While children can certainly use the mug for drinking, the messaging feature is best utilized by an adult or with adult supervision to ensure the message is applied correctly and handled with care.
Troubleshooting
Pencil message is difficult to write
Ensure you are using a standard graphite pencil. Try a pencil with a softer lead (e.g., 2B) and apply slightly more pressure, but avoid scratching the surface.
Pencil message smudged easily
Allow the message to set for a few minutes before handling. Avoid touching the written area. Hand wash gently, avoiding scrubbing the message area.
Tatty Teddy design looks faded
This is unlikely with new products. If the design appears faded, contact the retailer for a potential defect. Avoid harsh cleaning agents.
Mug is chipped or cracked
Inspect the mug carefully upon arrival. If damaged, contact the seller for a replacement. Handle with care during use and washing.
