Quick answer
To keep your MultiShaker 25oz fresh and odor-free, rinse it immediately after use, hand-wash with mild soap and warm water, and dry it completely with the lid off. Avoid harsh abrasives and prolonged soaking.
Why hand-washing beats the dishwasher
While the MultiShaker 25oz is built from sturdy stainless steel, the gasket and lid components can wear faster in a dishwasher's high heat and strong detergents. Hand-washing preserves the seal and keeps the lid fitting snugly over time.
If you do use a dishwasher, place the bottle on the top rack and skip the heated dry cycle. But for the longest life, a quick hand-wash after each use is the most reliable routine.
The odor trap: the gasket
Protein shakes leave behind residues that can sour quickly, especially in the small crevices of the lid gasket. That's why the gasket is the first place odors start. Regular cleaning of that part is the difference between a fresh shaker and one that smells like yesterday's shake.
If you notice a lingering smell even after cleaning, a baking soda paste (three parts baking soda to one part water) applied to the gasket and interior for 15 minutes can neutralize it. Rinse thoroughly afterward.
Step-by-step cleaning routine
- Rinse immediately after use: Empty any leftover shake and rinse the bottle and lid with warm water right away. This prevents protein from drying and sticking to the surface. Don't let the bottle sit unrinsed for more than a few minutes.
- Hand-wash with mild soap: Use a soft sponge or bottle brush with mild dish soap and warm water. Clean the interior, the lid, and especially the gasket area. Avoid steel wool or abrasive pads that can scratch the finish. Pay extra attention to the gasket crevices where odors start.
- Dry completely with the lid off: Shake off excess water and place the bottle upside down on a drying rack with the lid and gasket separated. Leave it fully dry before reassembling to prevent mildew. Never store the bottle sealed while still damp.
