Quick Answer
Wash your insulated SodaStream bottle by hand with warm soapy water after each use, and do a deeper clean weekly to keep it fresh and fizz-friendly.
Why Hand Washing Matters
Insulated bottles like the SodaStream Fizz & Go™ feature a double-wall stainless steel construction. While this keeps drinks cold up to 12 hours, the vacuum seal can be damaged by the heat of a dishwasher. Hand washing is the safest way to preserve both insulation and the bottle's leakproof seal.
Keep the Fizz in Mind
Carbonated drinks can leave behind sugars and flavor residues that cling to the interior. If you don't clean promptly, these residues can affect the taste of your next sparkling water. A quick rinse right after drinking goes a long way in maintaining that crisp, fresh fizz.
Step-by-Step Cleaning and Care
- Rinse Immediately After Use: Empty any remaining drink and rinse the bottle with warm water right away. This prevents residue from drying and sticking. A quick rinse prevents stubborn stains and odors.
- Hand Wash with Mild Soap: Use a soft sponge or bottle brush with warm water and a few drops of mild dish soap. Clean the interior, exterior, and the cap. Avoid abrasive scrubbers that can scratch the stainless steel. Never use bleach or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the steel and leave harmful residues.
- Dry Thoroughly Upside Down: After washing, shake out excess water and place the bottle upside down on a drying rack with the cap off. Ensure it is completely dry before storing. Storing a damp bottle can lead to mold or mildew growth.
- Deep Clean Weekly: Once a week, fill the bottle with a solution of warm water and a teaspoon of baking soda or white vinegar. Let it sit for 15 minutes, then scrub and rinse thoroughly. This removes any lingering odors or residue that regular washing misses.
- Inspect the Seal and Cap: Periodically check the rubber gasket or cap for wear and tear. Clean the cap's threads with a small brush to remove buildup. A worn seal can cause leaks and reduce carbonation retention.
