Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Use:
Before first use, wash the bottle and cap thoroughly with warm, soapy water. Rinse and allow to air dry.
Using the Flex Straw Cap:
Ensure the straw is fully extended for sipping and pushed down completely to seal. The cap is designed to be leakproof when closed.
Compatibility:
This 32 oz Wide Mouth bottle is compatible with all Hydro Flask Wide Mouth lids and accessories, including the standard Flex Cap and other straw lid options.
Care and Cleaning:
- Dishwasher Safe: For best results, place the bottle and cap on the top rack of your dishwasher.
- Hand Wash (Recommended for longevity): Use a bottle brush to clean the interior with warm, soapy water. Clean the straw mechanism of the cap regularly to prevent residue buildup. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely with the cap off.
- Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use bleach or chlorine-based cleaners, as they can damage the stainless steel.
- Stubborn Stains: For tough stains, a mixture of baking soda and water can be used as a gentle abrasive cleaner.
