Cleaning the Body
- First, fill the bottle one-quarter to one-half full of warm water.
- Squirt a small amount of liquid dish soap into the water.
- Place the lid on the stainless steel water bottle, ensuring it is tightened securely.
- Over the sink, shake the bottle vigorously for 15 to 30 seconds.
- Un-tighten the lid and pour the soapy liquid down the drain.
- While there are still soap-suds in the stainless steel water bottle, give the inside of the bottle a good scrub with the damp bottle brush for 15 to 30 seconds. Be sure the bottle brush contacts the all area inside the stainless steel bottle, including the base.
- Next give the threads a good scrub with a damp scrub sponge, ensuring you make contact around the whole perimeter of the bottle.
- Finally, rinse the stainless steel water bottle with warm water by filling it up and emptying it out, as required, until all soap-suds have been washed away.
Cleaning the Lid
Consult with your stainless steel water bottle manufacturer to confirm, but most lids are top-rack dishwasher safe. If that is the case for your stainless steel water bottle, place it in the top-rack of your dishwasher. If not, follow the steps below to clean your stainless steel water bottle lid by hand.
- Fill your sink about one-quarter full of warm water.
- Squirt a small amount of liquid dish soap into the water.
- Place the lid in the soapy water for about 5 to 10 minutes.
- Next give the lid a good scrub with a damp scrub sponge, ensure you make contact with the whole surface area of the lid.
- Finally, hold the lid under flowing, warm water and rinse. Be sure to rinse until all soap-suds have been washed away.

After completion of cleaning the stainless steel water bottle body, and lid, place both components on a drying rack, or a hand towel. Within 30-minutes your water bottle should be dry and ready for the next use.
