- Hand wash the bottle body with warm soapy water
- Use a bottle brush to clean inside thoroughly
- Rinse the infuser under running water after each use
- Place lids and infuser on the top rack of the dishwasher
- Dry completely before storing with the lid off
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
- Use baking soda + warm water for stubborn tea stains
- Never put the bottle body in the dishwasher — it damages insulation
- Don't use bleach, chlorine, or abrasive cleaners
- Avoid freezing the bottle with liquid inside (pressure build-up)
- Don't microwave — stainless steel is not microwave safe
- Avoid dropping on hard surfaces — dents affect insulation performance
- Don't store acidic drinks (juice, soda) for extended periods
- Never use steel wool or abrasive scrubbers on the exterior
CLEANING THE INFUSER
The fine-mesh infuser can accumulate tea oils over time. For a deep clean, soak it in a mixture of warm water and white vinegar (1:1) for 15–20 minutes, then rinse well. This removes tannin buildup and keeps the mesh free-flowing.
Removing Tea Stains
If the interior develops discoloration from regular tea use, fill the bottle with warm water and 1 tablespoon of baking soda. Let it sit for 30 minutes, shake, then rinse. For persistent stains, a small amount of white vinegar works well. Avoid lemon-based cleaners.
Checking Seals
Inspect the lid gasket every few months. If you notice any cracking, compression, or reduced leak resistance, replace the lid. Replacement lids are available on our website and Amazon store.
Long-Term Storage
If storing your bottle for more than a few weeks, wash thoroughly, dry completely with the lid off, and store in a clean, dry location. This prevents any odor build-up during storage.
