How to Clean and Store Your Termic Bottle for Fresh Water

Quick Answer

Wash your COOK & SHARE Active Termic bottle daily with warm soapy water, use a bottle brush to reach the bottom, and store it open and dry to keep water fresh and odor-free.

Step-by-Step Cleaning and Storage Guide

1. Rinse Immediately After Use: Empty the bottle and rinse it with warm water as soon as you finish drinking. This prevents residue from drying and sticking to the walls.
2. Wash with Warm Soapy Water and a Bottle Brush: Fill the bottle with warm water and a few drops of mild dish soap. Use a long-handled bottle brush to scrub the entire interior, especially the bottom corners. For the straw-style spout, use a small brush or pipe cleaner to clean the opening and the mechanism. A common mistake is using only a sponge—it can't reach the bottom. Always use a bottle brush to avoid hidden residue.
3. Rinse Thoroughly and Air-Dry Upside Down: Rinse the bottle and spout with clean water until all soap is gone. Place the bottle upside down on a drying rack or a clean towel, with the lid open and the spout open, to allow complete air circulation. Let it dry completely before storing. Storing a damp bottle with the lid closed is the fastest way to create mold and odors. Always dry it completely.
4. Deep Clean Once a Week for Odor Removal: If you notice any smell, fill the bottle with a mixture of 1 tablespoon baking soda and warm water. Let it sit for 15 minutes, then scrub and rinse. For persistent odors, use a 50/50 white vinegar and water solution, but rinse very thoroughly afterward to avoid any vinegar taste. Avoid using bleach or strong chemicals—they can damage the stainless steel and leave harmful residues.
5. Store with the Lid Off and in a Dry Place: When not in use, store the bottle with the lid and spout open to allow airflow. Keep it in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight. If you won't use it for a long time, consider storing it with a small packet of silica gel to absorb moisture. Never store the bottle with liquid inside or with the lid sealed—this encourages bacterial growth.
