SodaStream is a company which makes machines to carbonate your drinks, they have a large selection of syrups you add to your water to make your desired beverage, or you can carbonate your homemade mixes such as lemonade, orange juice, or pretty much any liquid you wish to fizz.
SodaStream commercializes their products worldwide because of the great idea that this company sells, the product is also designed for sustainability, as a matter of fact a recent study says that people who own a SodaStream machine drink 43% more water than the rest of the population, and it is not hard to see why, this machine can add incentive for children to drink water and quit on soda, and for adults it is very encouraging to be able to add some flavor to water, especially if they don’t like the taste of water, SodaStream even has a line of syrups to give your drink a twist, they have regular fruity flavors, they have gourmet luxurious syrups, they even have energizing mixes to add to your regular water.

Of course all of this fun ends when you put your bottles on the sink and have to wash them for their next use, fortunately, here’s a guide for safely washing your bottles without any unfortunate incidents which mess up the product you bought, and cause you an extra expense.

How do I clean my SodaStream Bottles properly?

First of all here’s a recommendation, if you have time, clean the SodaStream Bottle right away because a half-empty drink, that not only contains water can dry out and cleaning it could turn into a more difficult task than you expected; tip number two, if you don’t have time just pour some water into the bottle to prevent it from sticking to the container, very well, with these tricks taken into account we can begin with the washing guide.

First of all, unscrew the cap off the bottle and fill it up to about the half of the bottle, then pour it out, then fill it again this time about 70% full, if you happen to have some around, add some liquid soap or a dash of lemon juice can be used as an alternative to remove odours, screw the lid on and shake it forcefully, then empty it out and rinse it off, you can reduce the amount of water wasted while cleaning the bottle by simply using the water again with any other items you need to rinse off, and there you go, your SodaStream Bottle is ready for the next drink.

Different Bottles

Most of the bottles can be washed as mentioned above but there are a couple that can be either trickier or easier to wash, for example SodaStream has a special dishwasher safe line, so make sure to look out for those, this containers can be just thrown to the dishwasher and left to wash themselves, but there some that could be more difficult to clean, such as the SodaStream crystal carafe that comes in the Crystal kit, this vial has a much narrower neck and you will definitely need the help of a special cleaning device if some beverage happens to stick into the bottom, but all the bottles are carefully designed to be reliable and easy to use and wash so don’t expect to have much trouble, and since they need no maintenance, apart from washing, it would be like cleaning any other container.

Water temperature

In SodaStream's official guide, they say that water should not be hotter than 120 fahrenheit, or 48 celsius if you prefer. Otherwise the BPA free material will be damaged and will release plastic in your future drinks, and of course, you don’t want that to happen.

Some of the dishwasher safe bottles can be treated with hotter water, but not for too long, so leave the job to the automation of dishwashers, and don’t leave the bottles resting in hot water as you would do with your skillets or other cooking devices, as your product would find itself severed and not in the conditions for further use, which would require a rather expensive replacement.

Conclusions


To sum it up we can say that a SodaStream Bottle can be washed as if it was any other kind of vase, but not with hot water, it is easy to use and wash, and that with a couple of tips you will have no trouble whatsoever the next time you have to do the dishes, we could probably say that even if it is a little expensive, it’s good design and reliability makes their product worth the cost, and if you can afford it, the SodaStream Machines are a way perfect and healthy way to cheer up your day with an unusual drink, and keeping your bottle clean is the best way to take advantage of it.
