Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the exterior of the water bottle to remove dust and stains.
For stubborn stains, apply a mild detergent gently. Avoid abrasive or corrosive cleaning agents to prevent surface damage.
Internal Cleaning
Rinse the inside of the bottle with clean water after each use to remove residual water and impurities.
For difficult stains, use a soft brush or sponge to scrub gently, ensuring the bottle’s interior is not scratched.
Mouthpiece Cleaning
The bottle mouth is prone to residue buildup. Use a fine brush or cotton swab dipped in water or mild detergent to clean it thoroughly.
Deep Cleaning Methods
White Vinegar Cleaning
Mix white vinegar and water in a 1:3 ratio and pour it into the bottle. Seal the lid, shake gently for a few minutes, and let it sit for 30 minutes.
Vinegar’s antibacterial and stain-removal properties effectively eliminate stubborn residues. Rinse thoroughly with clean water afterward.
Baking Soda Cleaning
Add 1-2 tablespoons of baking soda to the bottle, fill it with water, and shake until dissolved.
Let it sit for 30 minutes, then pour out the solution and rinse repeatedly with clean water. Baking soda helps break down limescale and tough stains.
Citric Acid Cleaning
Add 2-3 tablespoons of citric acid powder to the bottle, fill with water, and shake gently until dissolved.
Let it sit for 1 hour, then pour out the solution and rinse until no residue remains. Citric acid is highly effective in removing limescale and safe to use.
Disassembly Cleaning
If the bottle can be disassembled, separate the components (e.g., bottle body, cap, sealing ring) and clean each part individually. Pay extra attention to the bottle mouth and sealing ring.
Sanitization and Special Cleaning
UV Disinfection
Use a UV device to disinfect the bottle, which effectively kills bacteria and viruses.
Follow the device’s instructions carefully to avoid UV exposure that could harm your skin or eyes.
Alcohol Disinfection
Wipe the interior and exterior of the bottle with alcohol wipes or spray.
Allow the alcohol to fully evaporate before rinsing the bottle and using it again.
Special Care for Pressurized Bottles
For pressurized hydrogen water bottles, pay close attention to cleaning the sealing ring and valve to ensure cleanliness and maintain proper sealing.
Precautions
Avoid High Temperatures: Do not use boiling water to clean the bottle to prevent material damage.
Avoid Abrasive Tools: Do not use metal brushes or hard tools during cleaning to avoid scratching the surface.
Clean Promptly: Clean the bottle immediately after each use to prevent residue buildup that could affect water quality.
