Quick answer
Rinse the bottle with warm water after each use, air-dry upside down, and deep-clean weekly with mild soap and warm water to keep the nozzle and cap free of buildup.
Why cleaning the bottle matters
Even though the cleansing water itself is antibacterial (Aquaint uses hypochlorous acid from electrolysed water), the bottle, nozzle, and cap can collect dust, dried residue, or bacteria from repeated handling. A clean bottle ensures the product stays effective and safe for your baby's skin.
Most parents focus on the liquid but forget the container. A dirty nozzle can introduce germs to fresh product, reducing its hygiene benefits.
What you should avoid
Do not use harsh detergents, bleach, or abrasive scrubbers — they can leave residues or damage the spray mechanism. Avoid soaking the bottle in very hot water or placing it in the dishwasher unless the manufacturer explicitly allows it. The bottle is not designed for high heat, which can warp plastic or affect the spray function.
Step-by-step cleaning guide
- Rinse after every use: Remove the cap and nozzle. Rinse the bottle, cap, and nozzle under warm running water for 10–15 seconds to remove any dried product or dust. A common mistake is skipping this step until the next use, which lets residue harden and clog the sprayer.
- Air-dry completely: Shake off excess water and place all parts upside down on a clean, dry towel or drying rack. Let them air-dry fully before reassembling. Moisture trapped inside can encourage mold or bacteria growth — always dry before storing.
- Deep-clean weekly: Once a week, wash the bottle, cap, and nozzle with a drop of mild dish soap and warm water. Use a soft cloth or bottle brush for the inside, and a small brush (like a straw cleaner) for the nozzle opening. Rinse thoroughly. Skipping the weekly deep-clean can lead to buildup in the nozzle, making the spray uneven or blocked.
- Store in a cool, dry place: After drying, reassemble the bottle and store it away from direct sunlight, heat sources, or humid areas like the bathroom. Heat and humidity can degrade the plastic and the product over time, so a cupboard or shelf is ideal.
