Care and Maintenance

Proper care ensures the longevity and hygiene of your Contigo Ashland 2.0 Water Bottle.

• Dishwasher Safe: All parts of the bottle (body, lid, and straw) are top-rack dishwasher safe.
• Hand Washing: If hand washing, use warm, soapy water. For thorough cleaning of the lid mechanism and straw, it is recommended to use a bottle brush and a straw brush. Ensure all components are completely dry before reassembly and storage.
• Regular Cleaning: Clean your bottle regularly, especially after each use with flavored beverages, to prevent odor and residue buildup.

Troubleshooting

Leakage

• Ensure the lid is screwed on tightly and correctly aligned.
• Verify the drinking spout is fully pushed down and clicked into its closed position.
• Confirm the lid lock is engaged (slid to the locked position).
• While the bottle is designed to be leak-proof when the spout is closed and locked, it may leak if the spout is open and the bottle is tipped over. Always close and lock the spout when not actively drinking.

Difficulty Sipping

• Check that the straw is firmly attached to the underside of the lid.
• Ensure the spout is fully open.
• Verify that the vent hole on the lid is clear and not obstructed.

General Warnings

• Do not use with carbonated beverages, as pressure buildup can cause the spout to open unexpectedly or liquid to spray out.
• Not intended for hot liquids.
• Keep out of reach of children when filled with liquids that could cause injury if spilled.
