Quick Answer
To clean your Mesa Loop with Covered Straw, disassemble the lid, wash all parts in warm soapy water or the dishwasher, then air-dry completely before reassembling.
Why Regular Cleaning Matters
The Mesa Loop's covered straw and twist-in locking straw create small crevices where bacteria and mold can hide if not cleaned regularly. Daily rinsing isn't enough—you need a thorough cleaning routine to keep the straw and lid fresh.
Dishwasher vs. Hand Washing
The Mesa Loop lid is top-rack dishwasher safe, which makes cleaning convenient. However, hand washing with a small brush reaches deeper into the straw and valve areas. Choose the method that fits your schedule, but always hand wash if you notice any residue.
Step-by-Step Cleaning Guide
- Disassemble the Lid: Remove the lid from the bottle. Click the Clean-Lock button to the unlocked position, then pull out the twist-in locking straw. Separate the folding loop handle if needed. Check that the small silicone gasket on the straw is not stuck; if it is, gently remove and clean separately.
- Wash All Parts: Wash the lid, straw, and any removable parts in warm soapy water using a soft brush to scrub inside the straw and around the Airflow Relief Valve. For dishwasher cleaning, place parts on the top rack. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers that could scratch the plastic or silicone.
- Rinse and Air-Dry Completely: Rinse all parts thoroughly with clean water to remove soap residue. Shake off excess water and place parts on a drying rack with the straw upright to allow airflow inside. Do not reassemble while any part is still wet—trapped moisture promotes mold growth.
- Reassemble and Store: Once all parts are completely dry, reinsert the twist-in locking straw into the lid until it clicks. Close the Clean-Lock cover to keep the straw clean until next use. Store the bottle with the lid off if you won't use it for more than a day to allow continued airflow.
