Cleaning best practices.
Proper cleaning ensures your water bottle stays fresh and hygienic. For daily care, rinse with warm water and mild dish soap, ensuring you clean the lid and any crevices. Weekly, use a bottle brush for thorough scrubbing or create a cleaning solution with baking soda and warm water. Let it soak for 15 minutes, then rinse completely. Avoid bleach on stainless steel, and always air dry with the lid off to prevent moisture buildup.
For stubborn odors, fill with white vinegar overnight and rinse thoroughly in the morning.
