** CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS **
Wash your copper water bottle before using it, and once a week (at least) thereafter.
A newly-purchased copper bottle or vessel needs to be cleaned before you use it for the first time. Please follow the steps given below for cleaning/rinsing your copper bottles:
Step 1: Wash the copper bottle with tap water.
Step 2: Add the juice of half a lime to the bottle. Add 1 Tbsp of salt and 1-2 cups of warm water. Screw on the lid and shake well. Pour out the solution and rinse well using tap water.
Step 3: Use tap water to clean the outer surface.
Step 4: Rinse the bottle with water and leave it to dry.
NOT to be used in dishwasher or microwave. Do not refrigerate.
Please avoid using harsh detergents, soaps or scrubs on either the inside or the outside of a copper bottle, since this may damage the surface. Copper is a natural occurring metal, and over time due to oxidation, it is natural and completely normal for copper bottles to get stained or darken in colour. Cleaning them using the mentioned step-wise process can ensure that your bottles stay clean and last longer.
** Tips on drinking water from a copper vessel correctly and safely**
Fill the bottle with water and store overnight or all day or for 8 hours. Don’t refrigerate the bottle. The best time to drink water stored in a copper bottle, is on an empty stomach in the morning. Don’t over do it. Take breaks from drinking water stored in a copper bottle. For example, take a month long break after regularly drinking water stored in a copper bottle for two months.
