How to Clean a Stainless Steel Bottle

Stainless steel bottles are ideal for taking a drink on the go. Cleaning a  stainless steel bottle is a necessity to remove any residue from the bottle. Furthermore, the bottle may rust if not cleaned and dried properly. Using the proper products to clean stainless steel bottles will help to ensure the bottle lasts for a long time.
Instructions
1.Wash brand-new stainless steel bottles before using. Fill the bottle with equal parts white vinegar and water. Let it soak overnight. This will remove the metallic taste from the bottle and help to prevent it from rusting.
2.Empty the contents of the bottle promptly after use. Rinse the vacuum bottle with plain water.
3.Fill a sink with warm water. Add a few squirts of dish soap. Use your hands to mix up the soap and water.
4.Place the bottle into the sink of soapy water. Use a soft rag to clean around the lip or lid of the bottle. Slosh the bottle around in the water several times to clean the inside. The mouth of the bottle is likely quite narrow, making it impossible to get your hand down inside. Use a baby bottle brush to clean any caked-on grime from the inside of the bottle, if necessary.
5.Rinse the bottle with plain water. Dry the exterior of the bottle with a dish towel. Turn the bottle upside down on a dish towel to dry.
6.Put 1/4 to 1/2 cup uncooked rice into the bottle for an alternative method for cleaning the inside. Fill the bottle halfway with white vinegar and shake it up well. The rice and vinegar will clean the inside of the bottle.
7.Discard the rice and vinegar. Slosh the bottle around in the sink with warm, soapy water. Rinse well and allow the bottle to air-dry.
