A reusable glass bottle stays easier to use when the bottle body, cap, seal and protective sleeve are cleaned as separate parts. A quick rinse may be enough immediately after plain water, but a regular complete wash helps remove residue from threads, drinking surfaces and small cap components.
Always follow the care instructions supplied with your specific bottle. The routine below is a general guide for an AAROMELIA borosilicate glass bottle used for water.
Before you begin
Gather:
- Mild dishwashing liquid
- A soft bottle brush or non-abrasive sponge
- A small soft brush for cap details, if needed
- Clean water
- A drying rack or clean ventilated surface
Avoid abrasive pads or tools that may scratch surfaces. Handle the glass carefully and do not continue using a bottle that is cracked, chipped or otherwise damaged.
1. Separate the components
Remove the cap and protective sleeve. If the cap has a removable seal or part designed to be taken out for cleaning, follow the product instructions rather than forcing it.
Keeping the components separate helps water reach the bottle threads, the underside of the cap and areas where moisture can remain trapped.
2. Wash the glass bottle body
Add a small amount of mild dishwashing liquid and warm water. Clean the inside with a soft bottle brush, paying attention to the base and shoulder of the bottle.
Wash the rim and exterior with a non-abrasive sponge. Rinse thoroughly until no detergent remains.
Avoid sudden extreme temperature changes. Even durable glass should be handled carefully, especially when it has just contained hot or cold liquid. Do not make temperature-use assumptions beyond the bottle’s verified instructions.
3. Clean the cap and threads
Wash the cap by hand, including the underside and screw threads. Use a small soft brush to reach grooves where residue may collect.
For the AAROMELIA small-cap model, the visible outer portion is bamboo and the inner leak-control structure is food-grade plastic. Do not soak the cap unnecessarily. Wash it by hand and dry it promptly.
The sport cap is made from food-grade plastic. Open the drinking mechanism while cleaning so accessible contact surfaces can be rinsed. Do not force apart any component that is not intended to be removed.
4. Check the seal and contact surfaces
Inspect the seal, cap threads and bottle rim. Remove visible residue using a soft brush or cloth. Make sure the seal is seated correctly before the next use.
AAROMELIA bottles are designed to be leakproof when correctly assembled and fully closed. Correct cap alignment and seal placement are essential; a damaged, displaced or dirty seal can prevent proper closure.
5. Clean the protective sleeve separately
Remove the sleeve before cleaning it. Follow its product-specific care instructions. If hand washing is permitted, use mild detergent, rinse well and allow it to dry completely before replacing it on the bottle.
Do not put a damp sleeve back onto the glass. Trapped moisture can create odour and makes it harder to see whether both parts are fully dry.
6. Air-dry every part fully
Place the bottle body upside down at an angle where air can circulate. Let the cap, seal and sleeve dry separately.
Store the bottle with the cap loose or off until every component is completely dry. Closing a damp bottle can trap odour and moisture.
A simple cleaning schedule
- After plain water: rinse after use and allow all parts to dry.
- Regularly: wash the bottle, cap and accessible seal surfaces with mild dishwashing liquid.
- After flavoured drinks: clean promptly and check for residue around the cap and threads.
- Before reuse after storage: inspect, rinse and confirm that all parts are clean and undamaged.
Only use beverages and temperatures permitted by the product instructions. Avoid leaving perishable drinks in the bottle for extended periods.
What to check before filling the bottle
Before every use:
- Confirm that the glass is not cracked or chipped.
- Check that the cap and seal are clean.
- Make sure the seal is seated correctly.
- Align the cap properly and close it fully without cross-threading.
- Test the closed bottle over a sink before placing it in a bag.
- Keep the protective sleeve correctly positioned.
Glass should always be handled with care, even when it has a protective sleeve.

Frequently asked questions
Can I put the bottle in a dishwasher?
Use only the cleaning method stated in the product’s verified care instructions. The cap and sleeve should be hand washed. Do not assume that every bottle component is dishwasher-safe.
Why should I remove the sleeve before cleaning?
Removing it lets the glass and sleeve dry separately and prevents moisture from being trapped between them.
How do I reduce the chance of leakage?
Keep the seal, cap threads and bottle rim clean; make sure the seal is correctly seated; align the cap properly; and close it fully. Test the bottle over a sink before carrying it in a bag.
How should I store the bottle?
Store every component only after it is completely dry. Leave the cap loose or off during storage so air can circulate.
