Step-by-step guide

Step 1
Spray Universal Cleaner liberally inside and outside the bottle, including the lid and threads.

Step 2
Leave for five minutes to allow the cleaner to break down organic residues.

Step 3
Scrub the inside of the bottle and lid with a Dish Brush or similar.

Step 4
Rinse thoroughly with cold running water.

Step 5
For sterilisation, fill the bottle with boiling water from the kettle and place the lid in a cup filled with boiling water.

Step 6
Leave both for ten minutes before carefully emptying.

Step 7
Rinse again under cold water and dry as normal.

 

Pro tip

For bottles used daily, aim for a deep clean once a week — it keeps your drink tasting fresh and prevents odour build-up.
