Your Klean Product Can Last a Lifetime

Your Klean Kanteen is made from durable, 18/8 (#304) stainless steel and is designed to be lightweight, yet extremely strong. If you take care of it, it may very well last your lifetime. It takes far fewer resources to repair a product than to make a brand new one. That's why we design ours to be reparable, whenever possible. While the stainless steel components of our products are virtually indestructible, smaller parts will wear out over time. Our handy repair kits and online videos help customers replace worn out parts.

Listed below are a few tips and resources to help keep your product fresh and clean over the long haul.

Washing Bottles, Cups, Canisters and Caps

  • Our kanteens, cups, tumblers, caps (except for the bamboo cap), canisters and food boxes are all dishwasher safe.
  • For thorough cleaning, you can use warm, soapy water and a bottle brush. We also recommend an old-fashioned cleaner: mixing water and baking soda making a nice thick paste.
  • If your bottle or cap seems to be retaining flavors or smells, use diluted vinegar and soak them in it overnight. NOTE: the Stainless Unibody Bamboo Cap should not be soaked or immersed.

Unibody Bamboo Cap Care and Use

Handwash only! Not dishwasher safe. DO NOT submerge in water, expose to high temperatures or harsh detergents. Scrub with warm soapy water, rinse and dry immediately. To prolong the life of the bamboo, treat periodically with mineral oil (standard cutting block oil) or bees wax (w/mineral oil).
