It&#8217;s probably more accessible, rather than harder, for the average home cook to clean a zillion metal water bottles than it is to cook a gourmet meal.<\/p>\n<p>But if you want to feel more confident about cleaning stainless steel drink containers, here are a few tried-and-tested tricks!<\/p>\n<h2>Step 1: Start with warm water and dish soap<\/h2>\n<p>Please use dish soap with biodegradable surfactants (e.g., Dawn) to dissolve those hard-to-remove grime splatters on stainless steel.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3104\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hmbottles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/clean-stainless-steel-water-bottle-Start-with-warm-water-and-dish-soap.jpg\" alt=\"clean stainless steel water bottle-Start with warm water and dish soap\" width=\"693\" height=\"325\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hmbottles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/clean-stainless-steel-water-bottle-Start-with-warm-water-and-dish-soap.jpg 744w, https:\/\/www.hmbottles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/clean-stainless-steel-water-bottle-Start-with-warm-water-and-dish-soap-300x141.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hmbottles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/clean-stainless-steel-water-bottle-Start-with-warm-water-and-dish-soap-705x331.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 693px) 100vw, 693px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Dish soap is the most common cleaner when cleaning stainless steel bottles. Its neutral pH balance is not as harsh as bleach and won&#8217;t stain your water bottle as some other cleaners might. If you want something that gets the grime off without being too abrasive on your regular plastic brush, then this is definitely what you need.<\/p>\n<h2>Step 2: Add vinegar and lemon juice<\/h2>\n<p>This will soften any tough stains (like stubborn tea stains) without damaging the finish of your container. Pour 1\/4 cup of white vinegar into a bowl or bottle and add two tablespoons of lemon juice; mix them well and pour into the dirty container.<\/p>\n<p>Put on rubber gloves and wash as instructed by the manufacturer before rinsing thoroughly with cold water; allow to dry completely before using again!<\/p>\n<h2>Step 3:\u00a0 Bleach<\/h2>\n<p>When you think about bleaching something, it usually brings up images of bright yellow stains on white clothing, but diluted bleach can be used safely with stainless steel bottles (and all plastics).<\/p>\n<p>The best ratio would be one part bleach mixed with two parts water to effectively cleanse your container without damaging its surface or causing health issues!<\/p>\n<p>In addition, be sure that there are no holes left in which bacteria could grow after use. Once again, this can lead to illness if consumed, so ensure those holes are correctly covered before being placed back into circulation.<\/p>\n<p>And remember, never leave anything soaking overnight because it will eventually start smelling bad due to bacteria growing inside, which could lead to health problems from ingesting contaminated liquids!<\/p>\n<h2>Step 4:\u00a0 Put baking soda and hydrogen peroxide in the bottle<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3109\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hmbottles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Put-baking-soda-and-hydrogen-peroxide-in-the-bottle-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"376\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hmbottles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Put-baking-soda-and-hydrogen-peroxide-in-the-bottle-1.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.hmbottles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Put-baking-soda-and-hydrogen-peroxide-in-the-bottle-1-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hmbottles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Put-baking-soda-and-hydrogen-peroxide-in-the-bottle-1-705x353.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Baking soda and hydrogen peroxide can effectively clean a stainless steel water bottle. &#8220;This is an excellent combination because they will react together,&#8221; says Henry Cowan, a cleaning expert at Fantastic Services, working in the industry for 13 years.<\/p>\n<h2>Step 5: Put baking soda and water in the bottle<\/h2>\n<p>You can also use baking soda and water to clean your stainless steel bottle. Put warm or hot water in the bottle with a tablespoon of baking soda. Then, let it sit overnight before washing it with dish soap or a sponge in the morning to remove any residue inside the bottle.<\/p>\n<h2>Step 6: Use vinegar and baking soda instead of hydrogen peroxide for extra stubborn stains.<\/h2>\n<p>Add one tablespoon of vinegar instead of hydrogen peroxide if you have any stubborn stains on your stainless steel bottles. Let this solution sit in the water bottles for about 15 minutes before scrubbing them clean with dish soap or a sponge.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\">How do you clean stainless steel water bottles with baking soda?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3098\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hmbottles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/How-to-clean-stainless-steel-water-bottles-with-baking-soda.jpg\" alt=\"How to clean stainless steel water bottles with baking soda\" width=\"687\" height=\"354\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hmbottles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/How-to-clean-stainless-steel-water-bottles-with-baking-soda.jpg 745w, https:\/\/www.hmbottles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/How-to-clean-stainless-steel-water-bottles-with-baking-soda-300x155.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hmbottles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/How-to-clean-stainless-steel-water-bottles-with-baking-soda-705x363.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 687px) 100vw, 687px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1 tbsp. baking soda<\/li>\n<li>A few drops of dish soap<\/li>\n<li>Warm water<\/li>\n<li>Scrub brush or cloth and some elbow grease<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Steps:<\/p>\n<p>1.

Pour out any leftover residue and set it aside for now; you&#8217;ll clean it up later.<\/p>\n<p>2. Use a scrubbing brush (assuming your bottle has a wide mouth) or scrub with a cloth dipped in warm water until all surfaces are clean of grime and gunk! Rinse well with fresh, warm water afterward\u2014try not to let any go down the drain when you pour out those last bits from cleaning, so there&#8217;s no chance they&#8217;ll clog up anything on their way out!<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\">How to clean a stainless steel water bottle with bleach?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3097\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hmbottles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/How-to-clean-stainless-steel-water-bottle-with-bleach.jpg\" alt=\"How to clean stainless steel water bottle with bleach\" width=\"757\" height=\"343\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hmbottles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/How-to-clean-stainless-steel-water-bottle-with-bleach.jpg 931w, https:\/\/www.hmbottles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/How-to-clean-stainless-steel-water-bottle-with-bleach-300x136.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hmbottles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/How-to-clean-stainless-steel-water-bottle-with-bleach-800x363.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.hmbottles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/How-to-clean-stainless-steel-water-bottle-with-bleach-768x348.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hmbottles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/How-to-clean-stainless-steel-water-bottle-with-bleach-705x320.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 757px) 100vw, 757px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Use bleach to remove mold and mildew from stainless steel water bottles.<\/li>\n<li>Mix 1 part bleach with nine parts water.

This acid is known for its cleansing qualities and is too strong for most bacteria to survive. You need half a lemon squeezed into the bottle and then filled with water. Let it soak overnight, give it another good scrub in the morning with some dish soap, and rinse well. You&#8217;ve got yourself a sparkling clean bottle!<\/li>\n<li>Dish soap. Dish soap works fine if you don&#8217;t have lemons on hand or don&#8217;t feel like squeezing them into your water bottle (we all get lazy sometimes). Just fill up your bottle halfway with warm tap water, as usual, squirt in some dishwashing detergent until the suds reach about an inch from the top, screw on the lid (tightly!), and shake vigorously for thirty seconds. Pour the soapy solution and thoroughly rinse your container before using it again.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 data-pm-slice=\"1 3 &#091;&#093;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\">How to remove rust from stainless steel water bottles?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3114\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hmbottles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/How-to-remove-rust-from-stainless-steel-water-bottles.jpg\" alt=\"How to remove rust from stainless steel water bottles\" width=\"691\" height=\"309\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hmbottles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/How-to-remove-rust-from-stainless-steel-water-bottles.jpg 691w, https:\/\/www.hmbottles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/How-to-remove-rust-from-stainless-steel-water-bottles-300x134.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 691px) 100vw, 691px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You can remove rust from stainless steel water bottles with the following steps:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Add lemon juice.

However, it can sometimes develop an unpleasant odor if not cleaned properly. The best way to keep your bottle from smelling is by washing it regularly with soap and warm water.<\/p>\n<p>To keep a stainless steel water bottle from smelling, you should:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Wash it regularly with soap and warm water<\/strong>. You can use a cleaning solution to give the inside of your bottle a deeper clean.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dry it off completely after washing.<\/strong> If there&#8217;s still moisture in your bottle after washing, bacteria can grow in that spot, contributing to an unpleasant odor. Drying agents like baking soda or charcoal will help absorb any leftover moisture and neutralize odors from previous uses.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use a cleaning brush, tablet, or cloth on hard-to-reach parts of your bottle<\/strong>, like its lid or spout, where dirt gets trapped.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There are other tips to give your bottle an even deeper clean. You can use a cleaning solution like vinegar or baking soda to help break up dirt and grime inside the bottle. Vinegar is also good at removing odors from previous uses because it neutralizes them with its acidic properties.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\">How often should you clean stainless steel water bottles?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>How often you clean your water bottle depends on how frequently you use it. If you use your water bottle several times a day for various activities, we recommend cleaning it at least once daily to prevent odors and bacteria from building up.<\/p>\n<p>However, cleaning it every few days should be sufficient if you only use your water bottle occasionally or for the same purpose (e.g., drinking at work).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lopq78f1-d9e8b49f96f84e6e3d586ddea0d71f72 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" >\n         \n\n                    <!--begin code -->\n\n                    \n                    <div class=\"pp-multiple-authors-boxes-wrapper pp-multiple-authors-wrapper pp-multiple-authors-layout-boxed multiple-authors-target-shortcode box-post-id-13462 box-instance-id-1 ppma_boxes_13462\"\n                    data-post_id=\"13462\"\n                    data-instance_id=\"1\"\n                    data-additional_class=\"pp-multiple-authors-layout-boxed.multiple-authors-target-shortcode\"\n                    data-original_class=\"pp-multiple-authors-boxes-wrapper pp-multiple-authors-wrapper box-post-id-13462 box-instance-id-1\">\n                                                                                    <h3 class=\"widget-title box-header-title\">Author<\/h3>\n                                                                            <span class=\"ppma-layout-prefix\"><\/span>\n                                                    <ul class=\"pp-multiple-authors-boxes-ul\">\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    <li class=\"pp-multiple-authors-boxes-li author_index_0 author_test has-avatar\">\n                                        \n                                                                                            <div class=\"pp-author-boxes-avatar\">\n                                                                                                            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Tina Shao\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hmbottles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Tina-Shao.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hmbottles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Tina-Shao.jpg\" class=\"multiple_authors_guest_author_avatar avatar\" height=\"80\" width=\"80\" title=\"\">                                                                                                    <\/div>\n                                            \n                                            <div class=\"pp-author-boxes-avatar-details\">\n                                                                                                <div class=\"pp-author-boxes-name multiple-authors-name\">\n                                                        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hmbottles.com\/author\/test\/\" rel=\"author\" title=\"Tina Shao\" class=\"author url fn\">Tina Shao<\/a>                                                    <\/div>\n                                                                                                                                                                                                    <p class=\"pp-author-boxes-description multiple-authors-description\">\n                                                        Tina Shao, a renowned entrepreneur in the drinkware industry, founded Homii Bottles in 1995, specializing in custom stainless steel vacuum flasks.
