How to clean a hydro flask with straw lid
Follow the simple maintenance steps below to effectively maintain the durability of your hydro flask water bottle
*Before First Use:*
Wash your vacuum flask insulated water bottle and lid with hot water and soap.
*You Should Not:*
1. Put the hydro flask bottle in the dishwasher or soak the flask in hot water: the dishwasher may become hot, affecting the insulation of the flask and discoloring the powder coating. Likewise, immersing the entire flask in hot water will discolor the powder coating.
2. Put the hydro flask in the refrigerator: Due to the double-layer vacuum insulation, the internal liquid will be protected from the temperature in the refrigerator, so it will not condense. If you want a cold drink, put ice cubes in the flask and be aware that it takes a long time to melt!
3. Place the hydro flask on the stove: Due to the double-layer vacuum insulation of the flask, the outdoor temperature will not change the temperature of the internal beverage. If the flask is placed on any type of stove or heat source, the heat will damage the outside of the flask.
4. Soak the hydro flask with standard lids, wide-mouth lids and flat lids or put them in the dishwasher: the lid will absorb water after being immersed in the dishwasher or in the water for a certain period of time. We recommend rinsing with hot water and soap and drying.
5. Use bleach or chlorine to clean hydro flask water bottles. These chemicals will destroy the stainless steel coating and therefore should not be used on our products.
*You Should Wash Hydro Flask, Straw Lid:*
1. Use a soft bottle brush to clean the hydro flask. You can buy cleaning accessories from Amazon or other shops and use the bottle brush cleaning kit as often as possible, it’s better to clean hydro flask water bottle every time after you drink coffee, beer or juice, and clean it once a day if you use the stainless steel water bottle everyday.
2. Use white distilled vinegar for cleaning: You can use household white distilled vinegar to help remove any stains or discoloration inside the hydro flask. We recommend putting 1/2 cup of vinegar in the flask, swirling gently to wash any affected parts and letting it sit for overnight. Then rinse thoroughly with warm water and repeat if necessary.
3. Use baking soda for cleaning: For stubborn spots inside the flask, mix 2-3 tablespoons of baking soda with a small amount of warm water to form a scrub. Dip the bristles of the bottle brush into the paste, and then apply the paste to the affected area inside the flask for cleaning. This should be repeated as needed until the stain disappears.
4.The Hydro Flip lid and the wide mouth hydro flask straw lid can be cleaned in the dishwasher. If you wash it by hand, the lid may last longer, but if you need to clean it deeply, it’s okay to use a dishwasher.
