How to Clean Your LUNACUP Properly

Proper LUNACUP care isn't complicated. It's about simple, effective hygiene that keeps your cup in perfect condition for years. No stress, no confusion—just straightforward care that works.

Between Uses During Your Cycle

Quick rinse. Cold or lukewarm water works best. Hot water can set stains, so avoid it for initial cleaning.

Public restrooms? Wipe with toilet paper or wet wipes. You can also bring a small water bottle for rinsing.

Stubborn odors? Rinse with cold water first, then warm soapy water. Works every time.

After Your Cycle: Deep Clean

Your LUNACUP deserves a proper clean before storage:

Boiling method: 5-7 minutes in boiling water. Simple, effective, kills everything.
Sterilizing tablets: Milton or similar—follow package instructions.
UV sterilizer: If you have one, 3-5 minutes does the job.

What to Use

Perfect cleaning agents:

Mild, unscented soap
Specialized menstrual cup cleaners
Boiling water
Milton sterilizing solution

Never use:

Harsh soaps or detergents
Bleach or aggressive chemicals
Scented products
Dishwasher (too harsh for silicone)

Dealing with Stains

Stains are normal and don't affect LUNACUP function. But if you want to remove them:

Hydrogen peroxide: Soak for 30 minutes, then rinse thoroughly
Lemon juice: Natural bleaching, rinse well after
Sunlight: UV rays naturally bleach stains

Storage

Clean, dry LUNACUP goes in its breathable cotton pouch. Never plastic bags—your cup needs air circulation.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

White film buildup? Hard water minerals. Soak in diluted white vinegar for 30 minutes.

Persistent smell? Boil with a pinch of baking soda. Rinse thoroughly.

Sticky feeling? Soap residue. Rinse longer with plain water.

When to Replace Your LUNACUP

With proper care, LUNACUP lasts years. Replace only if you notice:

Cracks or tears in the silicone
Persistent odor that won't clean out
Texture changes (becomes sticky or rough)

Bottom line: Good LUNACUP care is simple. Rinse during your cycle, sterilize after, store properly. Your cup will serve you faithfully for years. 🌙
