Product Information
Full details
The Smidge Bottle 350ml in Aqua is designed for anyone seeking a durable, reusable, and safe hydration solution for daily use, whether at home, the gym, or on the go. Its key benefit is maintaining beverage temperature for extended periods, keeping drinks cold for 24 hours or hot for 12 hours, all within a leak-proof and condensation-free design. A minor consideration is its 350ml capacity, which may require more frequent refills for heavy hydration needs compared to larger bottles.

FAQs
Is the Smidge Bottle 350ml dishwasher safe?
No, the Smidge Bottle 350ml is not dishwasher safe. Hand washing with warm, soapy water and a bottle brush is recommended to preserve the vacuum insulation and exterior finish.
Can I put fizzy drinks in this bottle?
We do not recommend putting carbonated beverages in this bottle. The vacuum insulation is not designed to withstand the pressure build-up from carbonation, which could lead to leaks or damage.
What material is the bottle made from?
The bottle is constructed from premium 18/10 stainless steel on the interior and exterior, featuring a durable powder-coated finish and a BPA-free silicone seal in the lid.
How long does it take to clean the bottle?
Basic cleaning with warm, soapy water typically takes about 1-2 minutes. A more thorough clean using a bottle brush might take an additional minute or two.
Is the powder-coated finish safe?
Yes, the powder-coated finish is durable and safe for everyday use. However, like any coating, it can be susceptible to chipping if dropped on hard surfaces.
What are the dimensions and weight of the 350ml bottle?
The bottle measures approximately 5cm (Length) x 5cm (Width) x 19.5cm (Height) and weighs 248g.
Can I put the bottle in the freezer?
No, the bottle should not be placed in the freezer. Freezing liquids can cause the bottle to expand and potentially damage the insulation or structure.
Troubleshooting
Bottle is not keeping drinks as cold/hot as expected.
Ensure the lid is screwed on tightly to maintain the vacuum seal. Pre-heat or pre-chill the bottle with hot or cold water for a few minutes before filling with your beverage to improve performance.
Slight condensation on the exterior.
This is rare with proper vacuum insulation. Check for any damage to the exterior coating or ensure the lid is fully sealed. Extreme external temperatures can sometimes cause minor condensation.
Difficulty screwing the lid on or off.
Check the threads on both the bottle and the lid for debris. Ensure they are aligned properly before twisting. If sticky, wash with warm, soapy water.
Metallic taste in the water.
While the 18/10 stainless steel is designed to prevent this, a thorough wash with warm, soapy water and a bottle brush should resolve any residual taste. Ensure all soap is rinsed out.
