Stains and lingering smells make even eco-friendly1 bottles less appealing and less hygienic. Quick, easy cleaning methods help maintain bamboo bottles2 and keep them fresh for daily use.
The most effective approach combines mild soap3 and warm water for regular cleaning, and white vinegar4 for stubborn odors5. Let vinegar sit inside for one hour, then rinse and dry carefully.
I share this cleaning routine6 with every ECO-BAMBOO order and get great feedback from brands that rely on bamboo’s natural appeal for their signature look—and want it to last.
How do I remove stubborn odors5 from my bamboo bottle?
Fill the bamboo bottle with a mixture of warm water and white vinegar4. Let it sit for at least one hour to break down odors, then rinse thoroughly with water and let it air dry7.
A cosmetics sector client used this method after storing herbal teas. The result was a fresh-smelling bottle and appreciation for our low-chemical guidance, which matched their brand promise perfectly.

Can I use vinegar to clean my bamboo bottle?
Yes, white vinegar4 is safe for cleaning bamboo bottles2. Its natural antibacterial properties eliminate both stains and odors, while preserving the bamboo’s integrity—even clients in food industries find it effective.
I recommend mixing one part vinegar to three parts warm water. I use it on my own bottle after every hiking trip, keeping the bamboo fresh without any damage to the finish.

How should I clean my bottle for first time use?
Rinse the bottle with warm water and a drop of mild soap3 before first use. This removes production residues and preps the bamboo for safe, everyday drinking.
I advise all clients to skip harsh chemicals. Mild soap and water do the trick—plus, air dry7ing with the cap off preserves the bottle’s finish and keeps odors at bay.

One partner from the beauty industry praised this baking soda8 method for keeping bottles fresh between product changes. It fits every eco-friendly1 routine and adds a practical, chemical-free benefit to the packaging.
