If you use a vacuum-insulated stainless steel container or travel mug for your morning coffee, you can employ some of my favorite ingredients to clean and deodorize it.
Put a tablespoon or two of baking soda in first, then a good glug of cheap household vinegar, and watch it bubble up. Wait for the foaming action to subside, and then put the lid on (if you do this too quickly, you might encourage an explosion as the vinegar and baking soda react).
Shake the container a few times, and then pour it out and rinse with tap water. Let dry before refilling.
