Interior Cleaning Routine (Narrow Neck)

Squeeze 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice + 1 teaspoon fine salt (or 1 tbsp tamarind pulp) and half a cup of warm water directly into the bottle. Tightly screw the cap on and shake vigorously for 30–45 seconds. Empty, rinse twice with fresh water, and leave the cap off until the inside is 100% air-dried.

Bottle Do's & Don'ts

✓ DO

Good Habits

  • Dry Immediately: Always wipe exterior with a dry cloth immediately after washing to maintain shine.
  • Clean Threads: Wipe screw threads regularly to prevent tarnish buildup and ensure smooth opening.
  • Store Dry: Leave cap unthreaded when not in use to ensure proper aeration.
✕ NEVER

Strictly Avoid

  • No Dishwasher: Dishwashers permanently damage copper luster, silicone seals, and bottle threads.
  • No Steel Wire: Scratching removes the smooth hand-hammered texture and damages exterior polish.
  • No Acidic Drinks: Never store fruit juices, lemonade, soda, tea, or milk in your copper bottle. Plain water only.
