Disposable PP plastic cups must be cleaned and disinfected prior to use. As plastic cups are prone to bacterial growth, it is recommended that they be washed daily during use; in particular, they should be cleaned promptly and thoroughly after holding beverages such as fruit juice, milk, or coffee. Avoid using stiff brushes for cleaning, as this may cause scratches that can harbor bacteria. Before use, be sure to read and strictly adhere to the temperature limits and usage instructions indicated on the product label. Disposable plastic cups should not be reused repeatedly over extended periods, as they may not meet the quality standards required for long-term use and carry a risk of chemical migration.
Prior to use, check the cup's seal to prevent leaks that could cause burns. The cup should be replaced immediately if it exhibits excessive scratches, stains, peeling patterns, leaks, or if the material surface becomes rough. Consumers should remain vigilant regarding product safety risks; for instance, instances have been reported where products were found to contain levels of the carcinogen 3-chloro-1,2-propanediol exceeding safety limits.
