00:00:00.607 --> 00:00:03.104
A reusable bottle can look clean while its

00:00:03.018 --> 00:00:04.516
lid still needs attention.

00:00:04.816 --> 00:00:07.980
Make the drinking opening, threads and removable parts

00:00:07.893 --> 00:00:10.870
part of your routine, rather than only rinsing

00:00:10.783 --> 00:00:11.962
the main bottle body.

00:00:12.742 --> 00:00:15.040
Empty the bottle and read the maker’s care

00:00:14.953 --> 00:00:18.410
instructions. Separate only the parts designed to come

00:00:18.323 --> 00:00:21.034
off. Do not pry out fixed seals or

00:00:20.948 --> 00:00:23.232
force a tool into a delicate valve.

00:00:24.016 --> 00:00:27.939
Use washing-up liquid, water and suitable clean brushes

00:00:27.852 --> 00:00:30.896
where needed. Include the rim and lid threads,

00:00:31.236 --> 00:00:34.279
plus a removable straw if the design allows.

00:00:34.592 --> 00:00:37.969
Different bottle models may need different washing methods.

00:00:38.681 --> 00:00:41.698
Rinse the body and the small components thoroughly.

00:00:42.011 --> 00:00:45.294
Check the actual instructions before using a dishwasher.

00:00:45.594 --> 00:00:47.732
A cap and bottle body can have different

00:00:47.632 --> 00:00:50.996
requirements, even when they belong to one bottle.

00:00:51.742 --> 00:00:54.200
Leave the parts separated on a clean drying

00:00:54.113 --> 00:00:55.665
surface with airflow.

00:00:55.938 --> 00:00:57.437
Let your brush dry too.

00:00:57.763 --> 00:00:59.928
Do not immediately close a damp bottle for

00:00:59.841 --> 00:01:03.231
storage, and inspect the parts before reassembling.

00:01:04.008 --> 00:01:06.905
Build washing into the end of use, especially

00:01:06.819 --> 00:01:08.291
after a flavoured drink.

00:01:08.604 --> 00:01:12.047
Use the manufacturer’s guidance for persistent residue or

00:01:12.160 --> 00:01:15.431
damaged parts. A clean bottle still needs a

00:01:15.344 --> 00:01:17.162
safe drinking-water source.
