How to Clean a Tritan Kids Bottle Without Damaging It

Quick answer

Wash your Laken Tritan kids bottle by hand with mild dish soap and a soft sponge. Avoid abrasive scrubbers, bleach, and the dishwasher to keep the bottle clear and scratch-free.

Step-by-step cleaning routine

1. Rinse immediately after use: Empty the bottle and rinse it with warm water. This prevents liquids from drying and forming stubborn stains or odors. Don't let milk or juice sit for hours — rinse within 30 minutes.
2. Wash with mild soap and a soft sponge: Apply a drop of mild dish soap to a soft sponge or cloth. Gently scrub the inside and outside of the bottle, the cap, and the straw. Avoid steel wool or abrasive pads. Check the cap's button and seal for trapped food particles.
3. Use a straw brush for the straw: If your bottle has a straw (like the Oby model), use a thin straw brush to clean the inside. Run warm soapy water through the straw, then rinse thoroughly. A straw brush is cheap and prevents mold growth inside the straw.
4. Rinse thoroughly and air dry: Rinse all parts with clean water until no soap bubbles remain. Place the bottle upside down on a drying rack and leave the cap off to air dry completely before reassembling. Never seal the bottle while it's still wet — trapped moisture causes odors.
