Q3: How can I clean my vacuum bottle?
A: Always rinse out your vacuum bottle after each use and rinse the stopper under running water. Do not soak the vacuum bottle in water or place in a dishwasher to clean.

The exterior, stopper and cup(s) can be cleaned using a moist sponge or soft cloth and mild dishwashing liquid.

The interior can be cleaned using a mild dishwashing liquid and then rinsed thoroughly.

Please refer to your instruction manual for more.

One Answer

  1. Wash out with warm soapy water. A toothbrush could help in the scrubbing. While still wet, add baking soda into the flask and scrub.
  2. Pour an inch or two of white vinegar into a clean carafe, then fill most of the way with hot tap water.
  3. Not tried this one, but seems a few people have had good results. 4 Alka-Seltzer tablets with water.
  4. Adding freshly ground coffee, which will help to mask the smell if it is still there.

Edit: Just read through the manufacturer's instructions, and have updated my advice as a result.
