How do I clean my carbonating bottles?

Taking care of your carbonating bottles is super easy. First, check the warning label on the bottle for care information and the expiration date. Replacement SodaStream bottles are available online and wherever SodaStream products are sold.

Check out the guide below for cleaning and handling instructions.

Rinse your carbonating bottles with cold or lukewarm water. If needed, use a mild liquid dish soap. 

For our dishwasher-safe glass carafes and dishwasher-safe bottles -- make sure to check the warning label for care information -- place the bottles on the lower rack of the dishwasher. If your dishwasher has a visible heating element (found in older dishwashers), do not place the bottles directly above it. Make sure to place your bottle in between the lines of the dishwasher and not on top of the prongs, as this can damage the shape of the bottle. 

Sparkle Note: Avoid placing bottles face down on a counter-top for prolonged periods of time as this can lead to trapped moisture.

If your bottle has an odor, we have some great solutions to remove lingering smells:

• Create a paste of 1 cup of baking soda with 1 cup of warm water. Stir the mixture to dissolve and pour it into the bottle. Let the bottle soak overnight and wash the mixture out the next day, making sure to rinse the bottle well. You can also create the paste and let your bottle caps soak in it overnight, making sure to wash them the next day.

• Create a paste of 1 cup of white vinegar with 1 cup of warm water. Stir the mixture to dissolve and pour it into the bottle. Let the bottle soak overnight and wash the mixture out the next day, making sure to rinse the bottle well. You can also create the paste and let your bottle caps soak in it overnight, making sure to wash them the next day.

Now you're ready to enjoy bubbles in your super clean bottle!
