A fresh reset for your Takeya Sport Bottle starts with a simple daily clean. Daily handwashing with warm water, mild dish soap, and the Takeya 2-in-1 Bottle Brush helps keep every sip fresh. Here's our recommended step-by-step instructions for cleaning your water bottles:
- Start by removing the lid (and straw if straw bottle), and any O-rings (and straw gasket if straw bottle).
- Using warm water and mild dish soap, scrub the inside of the bottle with the large end of the Takeya 2-in-1 Bottle Brush, making sure to clean the bottom, sides, and around the bottle opening. Then clean the interior and exterior of the lid with the large end of the brush.
- Then use the smaller straw brush to clean the straw, spout, interior of the lid. This helps remove buildup from hard-to-reach areas and keeps your straw lid or spout lid clean for everyday use.
- Rinse the bottle, lid, straw, and spout O-ring and gasket components thoroughly with clean water.
- Leave all parts open to air dry overnight. Make sure the straw lid or spout lid stays open while drying to help prevent moisture from getting trapped.
- In the morning, simply reassemble your Takeya Sport Bottle (O-rings and gaskets into lid and lid onto bottle).
Pro Tip: To make sure your O-rings are securely in place, press them back into the lid/spout, then twist the lid onto the bottle to gently press them into position.
