Want your Contigo bottle to stay fresh and leak-free? These popular drink bottles are easy to look after with a few simple habits. Here's the practical care guide. Browse the full Contigo range.
Are Contigo bottles dishwasher safe?
Many Contigo lids and some bodies are top-rack dishwasher safe. Stainless steel or painted bodies are best hand washed to protect the insulation and finish. Always separate the lid from the body and check the specific product instructions.
How should I clean my Contigo?
Rinse immediately after each use with the spout open. For a deeper clean, use hot soapy water and a bottle brush if needed. Lids can often be soaked. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals. Lemon juice, white vinegar or baking soda can help with stubborn residues. Rinse thoroughly and allow all parts to dry completely.
How should I store it?
Always store the bottle with the lid removed so everything can dry fully. Storing while damp can lead to odours or discolouration.
Any other tips?
- Do not microwave or freeze most Contigo bottles.
- Do not use with carbonated or pulpy drinks unless the model is designed for them.
- Make sure the lid is properly sealed before carrying in a bag.
Rinse after use, dry thoroughly and store with the lid off. Your Contigo will stay ready for work, school or the gym in Australian conditions.
