Are ARKTOS Bottles and Tumblers Dishwasher safe?
Did you know not all insulated tumblers are dishwasher safe? It’s common for tumblers to lose their vibrant color and pattern after a few rounds in the dishwasher. When it comes to tumbler care, you may feel like the whole process is too much.
We hear you, and at ARKTOS, we’re committed to designing tumblers that are not only sleek and functional, but are easy to care for. Keep reading to learn how to care for your ARKTOS, with or without a dishwasher!
ARKTOS offer a variety of colours that are dishwasher safe, meaning they can withstand a rinse in the dishwasher without losing their efficiency.
After a week, your water bottle can form over 300,000 units of bacteria per square centimetre. That's roughly 6 times more than what is found in dog bowls - gross!
HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR ARKTOS PRODUCTS
1. Remove All Pieces & Wash Individually
Remember to take them apart before washing them.
Every nook and cranny of your tumbler should be exposed to ensure that the entire bottle gets cleaned. This includes taking off and opening the lid and removing the straw (if your bottle is equipped with one).
2. Use Antibacterial Soap
Bottles and tumblers differ from other dishware because of the hard-to-reach crevices. Whether you are washing your bottles in the dishwasher or by hand, it is important to use antibacterial soap to kill the bacteria that builds up in those small spaces over time.
3. How Often Should Tumblers & Water Bottles Be Washed?
Typically, people do not clean their bottles as often as they should. The general rule of thumb is to clean them at least once a week. According to a study done by https://www.treadmillreviews.net/water-bottle-germs-revealed-2019/ after a week, your water bottle can form over 300,000 units of bacteria per square centimetre. That's roughly 6 times more than what is found in dog bowls - gross!
"Stainless steel bottles are naturally anti-bacterial and don't develop germ-harboring cracks, Shape reported, making them perhaps your best bet for a clean(ish) bottle."
