Troubleshooting
Beverage not staying hot/cold for claimed duration
Ensure the lid is securely closed. Pre-heat or pre-chill the flask by filling it with hot or cold water for 5-10 minutes before adding your beverage to optimize temperature retention.
Flask is leaking
Check that the lid is properly aligned and screwed on tightly. Inspect the lid's gasket/seal for any damage, wear, or misalignment. Ensure no foreign objects are preventing a tight seal.

Wash the flask thoroughly with warm soapy water and rinse well. For persistent odors, soak the interior with a mixture of warm water and a tablespoon of baking soda for a few hours, then scrub with a bottle brush and rinse thoroughly.
