[QUOTE] Q3: How can I clean my vacuum bottle? A: Always rinse out your vacuum bottle after each use and rinse the stopper under running water. Do not soak the vacuum bottle in water or place in a dishwasher to clean.
The exterior, stopper and cup(s) can be cleaned using a moist sponge or soft cloth and mild dishwashing liquid.
The interior can be cleaned using a mild dishwashing liquid and then rinsed thoroughly.
