FAQs
How do I clean the flip straw mechanism?
Disassemble the lid components as much as possible. Use a small brush (like a pipe cleaner or a specialized straw brush) to clean inside the straw and any associated parts. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely.
Is the bottle dishwasher safe?
It is recommended to hand wash the bottle and lid to preserve the vacuum insulation and exterior finish. Dishwasher cycles can be too harsh and may damage the bottle's performance and appearance.
Can I put carbonated drinks in this bottle?
This bottle is not designed for carbonated beverages. The pressure buildup from carbonation can cause leaks or make the lid difficult to open.
What are the exact dimensions of the 900ml bottle?
The dimensions are approximately 25 cm in height and 9 cm in width/length.
Does the Summer Blush color chip easily?
The bottle features a durable powder-coated finish for enhanced grip and durability. While resistant to chipping, it is advisable to avoid contact with sharp objects to maintain the finish.
Is this bottle suitable for toddlers or young children?
While the flip straw is convenient, it's best suited for older children or adults who can manage the mechanism. Adult supervision is recommended for younger users.
What is the warranty period for the Smidge bottle?
Please refer to the product packaging or the Smidge website for specific warranty information, as it can vary by region and retailer.
Troubleshooting
Bottle is not keeping drinks cold/hot for the advertised time.
Ensure the lid is fully sealed and the flip straw is closed. Check for any damage to the vacuum seal. Pre-heat or pre-chill the bottle with hot or cold water for 5 minutes before filling for optimal performance.
Flip straw is difficult to open or close.
Check for any obstruction in the straw mechanism. Rinse the lid under warm water. Ensure the lid is not overtightened.
Minor leaks from the lid.
Verify that the silicone seal inside the lid is clean, properly seated, and undamaged. Ensure the lid is screwed on tightly.
Metallic taste from the bottle.
Wash thoroughly with warm, soapy water. For stubborn tastes, try filling the bottle with a mixture of water and a tablespoon of baking soda, letting it sit for a few hours, then rinsing well.
