Learn the proper steps to clean and refill your Mist 'N Sip® bottle. Keep your sports mist bottle working well all season with these simple instructions.
Quick answer
To clean and refill your Mist 'N Sip® bottle, rinse it after each use, periodically deep-clean the nozzle and bottle with warm soapy water, and refill with cool water before heading out.
Why regular cleaning matters
The Mist 'N Sip® bottle has a 2-in-1 function that includes a trigger mister and squeeze-to-sip opening. Both pathways can trap residue from sports drinks or plain water over time. Regular cleaning prevents clogging and keeps the misting spray fine and even.
The bottle is lightweight and BPA-free, but the plastic can retain odors if left dirty. A quick rinse after each use prevents buildup and extends the bottle's life.
Step-by-step cleaning and refilling guide
- Rinse after every use: After each use, empty any remaining water and rinse the bottle and cap with cool tap water. Swish the water around and spray the mister a few times to clear the nozzle. This prevents sugar or mineral deposits from building up. Skipping this rinse is the most common cause of a clogged mister.
- Deep-clean the bottle weekly: Fill the bottle with warm water and a few drops of mild dish soap. Close the cap, shake well, and squeeze the bottle to push soapy water through the sip opening. Then press the trigger several times to clean the mister. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with cool water until no soap remains. Do not use bleach or abrasive cleaners; they can damage the plastic and leave residue.
- Clean the nozzle and trigger area: If the mister becomes weak or stops spraying, the nozzle may be clogged. Remove the cap and rinse the trigger area under running water. Use a toothpick or pin to gently clear any debris from the small spray hole. Rinse again and test the spray. Never insert anything sharp into the sip opening; only clear the mister nozzle.
- Refill with cool water before use: Unscrew the cap and fill the bottle with cool, clean water. Do not fill past the base of the neck to allow room for squeezing. Screw the cap on tightly. To use, squeeze the bottle to sip, or press the trigger to mist. Carbonated or hot liquids can cause pressure buildup and damage the bottle. Stick to cool water.
- Dry thoroughly before storage: After cleaning, leave the cap off and let the bottle air-dry upside down on a dish rack. Store it with the cap off to prevent moisture from getting trapped inside. This prevents mold and odors between uses. Storing the bottle with the cap on while still damp is a common mistake that leads to mildew.
