Bottle care FAQs
Mostly, yes! Your CamelBak sports bottles, such as Podium and Podium Chill, should be hand washed (we recommend hot, soapy water and a bottle brush). Caps for these bottles can go in the dishwasher on the top rack.
All other CamelBak plastic bottles, stainless steel bottles and drinkware are dishwasher safe. This includes Chute, Chute Mag, eddy, eddy+, kids’ bottles, Horizon Drinkware, MultiBev, Forge Flow, Hot Cap, and any products made with Tritan Renew. Just be sure to put the caps on the top rack to avoid damage. And when washing your MultiBev bottle, take it apart before putting it in the dishwasher.
We understand that the taste of plastic can be really unpleasant when drinking from your bottle. Rest assured that the bottle is made of materials that are 100% free of BPA and BPS, so the taste you’re experiencing isn’t a sign of harmful chemicals.
To get rid of the taste, we recommend filling 3/4 the way of warm water and a tablespoon of baking soda, and letting the contents sit for approximately 40 minutes to one hour. Once you rinse it out, your bottle should be taste-free and good to go.
It’s best not to—many of our bottles include a metal screw in the cap that will have sparks flying in your microwave. Plus, if you zap them for too long, you could end up warping the plastic.
