Finders Keepers Owala: Style & Care Guide

Quick answer

To keep your Finders Keepers Owala bottle in top condition, clean it regularly with mild soap and warm water, avoid abrasive scrubbers, and store it with the lid off to prevent odors.

Step-by-step care guide

1. 1. Rinse and inspect: Remove all parts and rinse the bottle, lid, and straw with warm water. Check the silicone gasket and lid seal for any stiffness or debris from storage. Common mistake: Skipping the inspection can lead to leaks if the gasket is not seated properly.
2. 2. Wash with mild soap: Use a soft sponge and mild dish soap to clean all components. Avoid abrasive scouring pads that can scratch the bottle's finish. Checkpoint: For tough residue, soak in warm soapy water for 15 minutes before scrubbing gently.
3. 3. Rinse thoroughly and dry: Rinse every part with clean water until no soap remains. Shake off excess water and let all pieces air dry completely with the lid off to prevent mold or odors. Common mistake: Storing the bottle with the lid on while still damp can trap moisture and cause mildew.
4. 4. Store properly: Keep your Finders Keepers bottle in a cool, dry place with the lid off. Avoid direct sunlight for extended periods to preserve the bottle's color and finish. Checkpoint: If you use the bottle daily, a quick rinse after each use helps maintain freshness between deep cleans.

Product facts

• Finders Keepers: Finders Keepers bottles are kept in the warehouse for warranties and reserve stock, then released as limited finds. This means your bottle may have been stored for a while, so a thorough initial clean and seal check is recommended before first use.
