How to Properly Care for Your Stainless Steel S’well Water Bottle

When you are looking to purchase a stainless steel water bottle, you are making the choice for better health as well as bettering the environment. In addition, stainless steel S’well water bottles do not contain dangerous chemicals like BPAs that can be found in plastic water bottles. When you purchase a stainless steel water bottle, here are a few tips to help care for it.

It is important that you clean your Swell water bottle before you use it. This will help remove any dust that has collected on it during shelf time as well as helping to remove the metallic taste from your water bottle. To clean your water bottle the first time, you should soak your water bottle in a sink with cold water and vinegar and let it sit overnight. The reason you should use vinegar is because the vinegar will help to chemically interact with the steel and help to remove dirt from the surface of the S’well water bottle. Make sure that you do not consistently wash your stainless steel water bottle in the dishwasher, because it can cause damage to the seams if it is done excessively. However, it is perfectly fine to place it in the dishwasher every now and then.

If you feel like you need a little extra cleansing for your S’well water bottles, there can be other materials you can add to the water and vinegar solution. Adding rice will act almost like an exfoliator. Shake your water bottle with water, vinegar, and rice to scrub the bottle from the inside thoroughly. Baking soda is another substance you can add to the water and vinegar mixture to improve the cleansing properties of this solution.

Stainless steel S’well water bottles will sweat just like plastic water bottles do, but this can be fixed by adding a sleeve or insulating tote to your water bottle.

Make sure you do not place stainless steel Swell water bottle in the freezer. This can cause damage to the seams of the bottle due to the way that the water expands when it is frozen.

If you have a S’well water bottle, it can add many benefits to your health and will remain very durable, as long as you keep it well maintained and taken care of. Follow these tips to ensure that your water bottle stays clean and long lasting for a long time.
