Regular Cleaning:
- Wash your stainless steel water bottle thoroughly after each use. Use warm water and dish soap.
- For deeper cleaning, use a bottle brush to scrub the interior of the bottle, especially if you've used it for beverages like smoothies or coffee.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners or pads that could scratch the surface of the stainless steel.
-
Avoid Dishwasher:
- While many stainless steel bottles are dishwasher-safe, it's often recommended to hand wash them to prolong their lifespan and preserve any external finishes or designs.
- If you choose to use a dishwasher, place the bottle on the top rack away from the heating element to prevent damage.
-
Dry Thoroughly:
- After washing, ensure your bottle is completely dry before storing it. This prevents the growth of bacteria and maintains the integrity of the stainless steel.
- Leave the bottle uncapped or with the lid off to air dry completely.
-
Remove Odors:
- If your bottle develops odors, fill it with a mixture of warm water and baking soda or white vinegar. Let it sit overnight before rinsing thoroughly.
- Alternatively, lemon juice can also help neutralize odors.
-
Store Properly:
- Store your stainless steel water bottle with the lid off to allow airflow and prevent moisture buildup.
- Avoid storing beverages other than water for extended periods to prevent odors or staining.
