FAQs
How do I clean the flip straw mechanism?
Use a small brush, like a pipe cleaner or a dedicated straw brush, to clean the inside of the straw and the valve area. Wash all lid components in warm, soapy water and rinse thoroughly.
Can I put this bottle in the dishwasher?
Hand washing is strongly recommended to maintain the integrity of the vacuum insulation and the exterior finish. Dishwasher use may void the warranty.
Is the 1.2L capacity suitable for travel?
The 1.2L capacity offers ample hydration for long periods, making it suitable for extended travel. However, its size might be more noticeable in smaller bags compared to smaller capacity bottles.
What materials is the bottle made from?
The bottle is crafted from premium 18/10 stainless steel and is BPA-free, toxin-free, and phthalate-free. The lid components are made from durable, food-safe plastics and silicone.
Does the bottle keep hot beverages hot for 12 hours?
Yes, thanks to its double-walled vacuum insulation, the bottle is designed to keep hot beverages hot for up to 12 hours and cold beverages cold for up to 24 hours.
Can I use this bottle for carbonated drinks?
It is not recommended to use this bottle for carbonated beverages, as the pressure buildup can cause leaks or damage to the lid and seal.
What is the warranty period for the Smidge Flip Straw Bottle?
Please refer to the product packaging or the manufacturer's official website for specific warranty information, as periods can vary.
Troubleshooting
Bottle is not keeping drinks cold/hot for as long as expected.
Ensure the lid is tightly screwed on. Check for any visible damage to the vacuum seal. Pre-condition the bottle by filling it with hot water for hot drinks or cold water for cold drinks for a few minutes before use.
The flip straw is difficult to open or close.
Check for any obstructions around the straw mechanism. Ensure the lid is properly seated. If stiffness persists, a gentle wiggle might help, but avoid forcing it.
Leakage from the lid.
Verify that the silicone seal inside the lid is correctly positioned and free from debris. Ensure the lid is screwed on straight and tightened securely. Check the lid for any cracks or damage.
Metallic taste in the beverage.
Wash the bottle thoroughly with warm, soapy water. Rinse well and allow to air dry. If the taste persists, try filling the bottle with a mixture of water and baking soda (2 tbsp baking soda to 16 oz water), letting it sit for a few hours, then rinse thoroughly.
Condensation forming on the exterior.
This indicates a potential breach in the vacuum insulation. Contact customer support if the bottle is new or under warranty, as this is not typical performance.
