How to Clean a Sigg Water Bottle
Sigg water bottles are popular because of their sturdy composition and because they have practically zero effect on water quality. Because these water bottles cost more than the usual plastic container, it's good to clean them regularly with recommended methods that will prolong the product's life span. Does this Spark an idea?

1
Empty the Sigg bottle every day, especially if the beverage is alcoholic in nature or fermented, such as kombucha tea. Storing these for long periods of time in a Sigg bottle can cause a buildup of gas that could compromise the structure.

2
Clean the bottle with hot water and normal dish soap. For most users, a simple rinse at the end of the day is enough to kill germs and keep scale under control. Run a sponge around the mouth of the bottle to kill oral bacteria.

For intermediate-level care, to address things such as sugar or mineral deposits, fill the bottle with water and add a little white vinegar. Let this mixture sit for several hours, then empty and rinse the bottle.The vinegar will break down the deposits but won't harm the liner.

Use Sigg cleaning tablets (see Resources section) for really tough cleaning jobs or seasonal maintenance. Drop the tablet in the bottle with a quantity of water and use the special Sigg cleaning brush to scour the inside surface. Don't use a wire brush for this because that could ruin the inner coating.

5
Don't clean your Sigg bottle in the dishwasher. The opening is really narrow, and the cleaning agents and water won't get far enough in to make a big difference. Hand care is best.
