Scouse Bird Diaries arrive sometime in the Autumn and the pre-orders are usually opened sometime in late Summer.
Are your mugs dishwasher safe?
Generally speaking yes, however because different dishwasher tablets contain different levels of bleach we cannot guarantee which ones are and are not safe. We've had customers dishwasher their mugs daily for years, switch brands and after one wash the cup is ruined. As a result of this we always recommend to hand wash to preserve the life of your mug. Some mugs are not dishwasher safe at all due to the the method of the design and these are marked individually. Repeated dishwasher use of mugs with a special coating for example neon or glitter can cause the coating to come away so again please hand wash to preserve the life of your mug.
