Maintenance

Cleaning

• Hand Wash Only: To preserve the integrity of the Tritan plastic, wash the jug by hand using warm water and mild dish soap.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scrub brushes that could scratch the surface.
• Rinse thoroughly after each cleaning.
• For deep cleaning, a solution of white vinegar and water can be used to remove mineral deposits or odors. Rinse extensively afterward.

Storage

• Store the jug in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
• Ensure the jug is completely dry before storing to prevent mold or mildew growth.
• Keep the cap loosely attached or removed during storage to allow for air circulation.
