Whether you use it for water, coffee, or a refreshing smoothie, proper care ensures it stays pristine and functional. In this guide, we'll walk you through essential cleaning and maintenance tips to extend the life of your OUAI cup or bottle.

From daily rinsing to deep cleaning, these simple steps will prevent stains, odors, and wear. Plus, we'll share storage and handling advice so your drinkware remains as beautiful as the day you bought it. Let's dive in!

Daily Cleaning Routine

After each use, rinse your OUAI drinkware with warm water to remove residue. For a quick clean, use a mild dish soap and a soft sponge—avoid abrasive scrubbers that can scratch the surface. Pay special attention to the lid and any crevices where bacteria can hide.

For insulated bottles, make sure to dry the interior thoroughly before storing to prevent mold or odors. A simple daily rinse and wash will keep your drinkware fresh and ready for the next use.

• Rinse immediately after use to prevent stains.
• Use a bottle brush for hard-to-reach areas.
• Dry upside down with the lid off to allow airflow.

Deep Cleaning and Stain Removal

Over time, coffee, tea, or smoothie residues can leave stubborn stains or odors. For a deep clean, fill your drinkware with a mixture of warm water and baking soda (or white vinegar) and let it soak for 15-30 minutes. Then scrub gently with a soft brush and rinse thoroughly.

For tough stains, try a paste of baking soda and water applied directly to the affected area. Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the finish. If the odor persists, a lemon juice rinse can work wonders.

• Baking soda and vinegar are safe, effective cleaners.
• Soak overnight for heavy stains or lingering smells.
• Never use metal scrubbers or abrasive pads.

Storage and Handling Tips

Store your OUAI drinkware with the lid off to prevent moisture buildup and odors. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade colors or degrade materials over time.

When traveling, use a protective sleeve or pouch to prevent scratches and dents. Avoid over-tightening the lid, as this can wear out the seal. With proper storage, your drinkware will maintain its sleek look and functionality.

• Store with lid off to air dry completely.
• Avoid extreme temperatures that may warp materials.
• Use a soft cloth for polishing to maintain shine.

When to Replace Your Drinkware

Even with the best care, drinkware eventually shows signs of wear. If you notice cracks, leaks, or a persistent odor that won't go away, it's time for a replacement. Also, check the seal regularly—if it becomes loose or damaged, the insulation may suffer.

For eco-conscious users, recycling your old drinkware is a great option. Many materials can be repurposed. Meanwhile, explore new OUAI accessories to refresh your hydration game. Pair your new drinkware with the Memory Lane Jumbo Fragrance Mists for a scent that complements your style.

• Recycle responsibly when upgrading.
