Care & Cleaning
Our products are dishwasher safe. For drinking bottles and straws, however, we recommend thorough cleaning with a suitable brush. The sealing rings can be washed in the dishwasher as well. However, we recommend hand rinsing for a long durability.
Water can enter the inside of the lid through the handle mounting of the bottle lid. However, the water that has collected can be easily removed by shaking.
Cleaning in the dishwasher is possible. However, our bottles have a wide opening and should be cleaned regularly with standard bottle brushes. For manual rinsing you only need warm water and a mild detergent.
The sealing ring is made of food safe silicone. Nevertheless, it may discolour after some time (e.g. due to black tea or similar drinks). This is normal and has no effect on the functionality of the sealing ring. If necessary, the sealing ring can be removed for cleaning. To remove discolouration from the bottle and the sealing ring, place it in the bottle, pour in some vinegar and hot water, allow to work in and then clean with the bottle brush and rinse thoroughly.
If some water collects in the lid after cleaning, you can shake it out easily.
- There are rust particles in the air (flash rust) which are deposited on the surface. However, rust film can also be transferred by other sources of rust (e.g. in the dishwasher). These can be, for example, non-rusting screws of pots or dishwasher baskets whose plastic coating has been damaged.
- The water has a high iron content, the particles react with the chlorine and deposit on the stainless steel.
- The chlorine content of the water is or was too high.
- The water contains a high salt content and is operated at high temperatures.
