There are two primary ways to clean your Hydro Flask: using a dishwasher or handwashing.
Here's a breakdown of both methods:
Dishwasher Cleaning:
- All Hydro Flask powder-coated bottles are dishwasher safe. This is generally the easiest method for regular cleaning.
Handwashing:
If you prefer to handwash, follow these steps:
- Use warm, soapy water.
- Utilize a Hydro Flask Bottle Brush to scrub the interior. This ensures you reach all areas.
- Employ a Straw and Lid Cleaning Set to thoroughly clean the lid and straw (if applicable). This is crucial for preventing mold and bacteria buildup.
Additional Tips for Both Methods:
- Regular Cleaning: Clean your Hydro Flask regularly, especially after use with sugary or acidic beverages.
- Deep Cleaning: For more thorough cleaning or to remove stubborn stains/odors:
- Consider using a mixture of baking soda and water.
- Vinegar can also be used to remove odors (rinse thoroughly afterwards).
- Drying: Always ensure your Hydro Flask and its components are completely dry before storing to prevent the growth of mold and bacteria.
