CARE INSTRUCTIONS

 Q: How do I clean my ecotanka?

We recommend hand-washing your bottle and lids using warm, soapy water to ensure long life and performance.

·         Single-wall bottles: Dishwasher-safe if needed, though hand-washing is still preferred.

·         thermoTANKA bottles: Do not put in the dishwasher — the heat and pressure may damage the vacuum seal.

Q: Can I put my bottle in the freezer?
No. Freezing stainless steel bottles may damage or break the weld joints or seals.
To chill your drink, we recommend adding cold water and ice cubes instead.
