To keep your shaker bottle fresh and functional, rinse it thoroughly with warm water immediately after each use to prevent protein residue from drying and causing odors. For deeper cleaning, handwash all components (lid, gasket, whisk ball, and bottle) with mild dish soap and a soft-bristle brush, paying special attention to crevices where residue can accumulate. Avoid abrasive scrubbers or harsh chemicals, as these may damage the silicone seals or Tritan material. If odors persist, soak the disassembled parts in a 1:1 mix of white vinegar and water for 15–20 minutes, then rinse well. For sanitization, submerge the bottle in boiling water (up to 212°F/100°C) for 5 minutes, ensuring it’s fully dry before reassembling to prevent mold growth. While the bottle is top-rack dishwasher-safe for convenience, handwashing is recommended long-term to preserve the leak-proof seals and custom branding. Store the shaker disassembled in a cool, dry place to maintain hygiene and extend its lifespan.
