Quick answer
Rinse the lid and bottle right after each use, then wash them in the dishwasher with the cap open. Once a week, press the button to open the cap and check the hinge and drinking spout for residue before washing.
Why the flip lid needs its own routine
The flip lid is the part that touches hands, mouths and bag interiors, so it collects more residue than the bottle body. The Campus lid opens with a button press and stays up while you drink, which means the hinge and the underside of the cap are exposed to splashes every time. A quick rinse handles most of it; a weekly check of the hinge catches the rest before it hardens.
Because the bottle is dishwasher-safe, you do not need to scrub every day. The trade-off is that small parts and the button mechanism still benefit from a quick look before each wash so dried drink residue does not build up in the gaps.
What not to do to a flip cap
Do not force the cap past its open position or hold it down while washing; the lid is designed to stay up while you drink, and forcing it stresses the hinge. Skip abrasive sponges on the spout and cap, and do not leave the bottle sealed with drink inside overnight, since that gives residue time to settle into the lid.
Step-by-step flip lid cleaning
- Empty and rinse immediately: Pour out any leftover drink, press the button to open the cap, and rinse the lid and bottle under warm water. Common mistake: closing the cap before rinsing traps liquid in the spout. If you cannot wash it right away, at least rinse and leave the cap open to air.
- Check the hinge and spout: With the cap open, look at the hinge area and the drinking spout for visible residue or stickiness. Common mistake: skipping this check and letting residue harden through the dishwasher cycle. A sticky button or stiff hinge is your cue to check more often.
- Load it open in the dishwasher: Place the bottle and lid in the dishwasher with the flip cap open so water reaches the inside of the lid. Common mistake: nesting the lid closed against the bottle, which blocks water from the spout.
- Air-dry fully before closing: Let both parts dry completely with the cap open before clicking it shut for storage. Common mistake: closing a damp lid, which leaves a musty smell inside. Store the bottle open between uses if your cupboard allows.
