How to Clean a Hydro Flask
Baking Soda is something you probably already have in your cupboard, but it’s one of the most important! Moist environments have the potential to breed bacteria, so there are a number of important health reasons why you want to keep your Hydro Flask clean. Do you know how to clean a Hydro Flask? The answer might not be what you expect.
Ignore the dish soap on your kitchen counter. Instead, grab two or three tablespoons of baking soda, and mix it with a little water. It doesn’t have to be too hot, warm is fine. Dump it all inside, and shake vigorously. For stubborn stains, you can let it sit overnight to let the offending stain dissolve.
Is a Hydro Flask Dishwasher Safe?
Short answer: No. Long answer: Sometimes. Many of the accessories we’ve listed are dishwasher safe. All of the lids can be thrown in the dishwasher, or washed in the sink along with the rest of your dishes. But the flask itself is not. In fact, you shouldn’t let the outside of your flask make contact with hot water for any long period of time. It uses a high tech and unique insulation. Doing so could damage it, and prevent it from keeping your water cool for as long.
If you’re having a hard time cleaning it with the baking soda method, you can employ a bottle brush for a little extra scrubbing prowess. The Hydro Flask is a fantastic water bottle, but if you want to keep it fully functional you should ensure that you care for it properly.
