How to Keep Your Bottle Fresh

Your water bottle goes everywhere with you, which means it needs a little maintenance to stay clean and odor-free. Rinsing it with water isn't quite enough to keep bacteria away.

Here is how to keep your bottle in top shape:

• The Daily Wash: At the end of the day, wash your bottle with warm water and a few drops of dish soap. Make sure to scrub the mouthpiece.
• The Weekly Deep Clean: Once a week, use a bottle brush. If you notice any smells, mix a little baking soda and warm water, let it sit for 15 minutes, and rinse thoroughly.
• Dry It Out: This is the most important step. Always let your bottle and cap dry completely out in the open air before putting them back together. Trapped moisture is what causes that musty smell.

A few minutes of care will keep your water tasting great every single day.
