FAQs about Reusable Water Bottles & Travel Mugs
What are the longest-lasting reusable water bottles and travel mugs?
The longest-lasting reusable water bottles and travel mugs use sturdy materials like stainless steel or borosilicate glass, and they come with leakproof builds and replaceable parts. A lid that can be swapped out is a small win that makes a big difference. Many of our top picks come with long warranties - some as long as 25 years. These are bottles made for everyday life, not landfill. Want to know how we choose our favourites? Peek at our research process here.
How do I properly clean and maintain my reusable bottle or mug?
To properly clean your reusable bottle or mug, rinse it after each use and let it dry completely. This keeps things fresh and faff-free. A weekly scrub with warm soapy water and a bottle brush helps prevent buildup - don’t forget to clean lids and seals separately. Some bottles are dishwasher-safe, but hand-washing often extends their life. For deep cleans, a soak in diluted vinegar or bicarbonate of soda works wonders. See more tips on our product care & repair hub.
Why does my reusable bottle sometimes smell or taste strange?
If your reusable bottle smells or tastes strange, trapped moisture or residue is likely the culprit. Even the best bottles need a proper scrub now and then - especially the lid and seal. Letting it dry completely between uses helps too. Stainless steel and borosilicate glass tend to avoid lingering odours better than plastic. Still pongy? A soak in diluted vinegar or bicarbonate of soda should do the trick.
Can I take a reusable water bottle or mug through airport security?
Yes, you can take a reusable water bottle or travel mug through airport security - as long as it’s empty. Liquid-filled bottles aren’t allowed, no matter how nice they are. Once you’ve cleared the scanners, refill it from a fountain or café. A leakproof, insulated bottle keeps drinks just how you like them, even at 30,000 feet. See our top travel picks in the reusable bottles & mugs collection.
What’s the safest material for reusable bottles when it comes to health?
The safest materials for reusable bottles are food-grade stainless steel, borosilicate glass, and BPA-free plastic. Stainless steel is robust, non-reactive, and keeps drinks free from nasties - even when hot. Borosilicate glass is equally kind to your cuppa and won’t shatter at the first sign of a temperature swing. Many bottles we carry meet EU safety standards and come with generous guarantees to boot.
How much single-use plastic can I save by switching to reusable options?
Switching to a reusable bottle or mug can save hundreds of single-use items per year. If you usually grab a water bottle each day, a reusable one could replace around 150 of them annually. Swap one takeout coffee a day for your own mug? That’s 200 more saved. With long warranties and repairable parts, our reusable water bottles & mugs cut waste and costs in one tidy move.
How often should I wash my reusable bottle or travel mug?
You should wash your reusable bottle or travel mug daily - especially if anything besides water goes in. A rinse and air dry after each use keeps mould and whiffs at bay. For a proper clean, use warm soapy water and a bottle brush once a week. Pay close attention to seals, lids, and spouts, where odour and gunk like to lurk. A stitch in time and all that.
