FAQs
How do I clean the flip straw mechanism?
Use a small bottle brush or a pipe cleaner to gently scrub the inside of the straw and the various parts of the flip mechanism. Wash with warm, soapy water and rinse thoroughly. Ensure it dries completely to prevent mold or odor.

Troubleshooting
Bottle is leaking.
Ensure the flip straw lid is fully closed and the silicone seal is correctly positioned and free from debris. Check that the straw is properly inserted into the lid mechanism.
Liquid is not staying hot/cold as expected.
Preheat or pre-chill the bottle with hot or cold water for a few minutes before filling. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed. Note that opening the lid frequently will affect temperature retention.
Difficulty drinking from the straw.
Check that the flip straw is fully opened and that there are no blockages. Ensure the straw is submerged in the liquid.
Metallic taste in beverages.
Wash the bottle thoroughly with warm, soapy water. If the taste persists after cleaning, try rinsing with a mixture of water and a small amount of vinegar, then rinse again thoroughly.
Lid or straw has an odor.
Clean the lid and straw components thoroughly with warm, soapy water, paying special attention to the straw mechanism. Allow to air dry completely. Baking soda paste can also help neutralize odors.
