How should I clean my Kept bottle to keep it fresh and hygienic?
To keep your Kept water bottle fresh and hygienic, clean it daily with warm, soapy water and let it air-dry. Use a bottle brush for a proper scrub, especially around the lid and spout. Need a deeper clean? Soaking with bicarbonate of soda works wonders. While Kept bottles are dishwasher-safe, hand-washing helps protect the finish.

Why does my reusable bottle sometimes develop an odd taste or smell?
An odd taste or smell in a reusable bottle usually means it needs a more thorough clean. Even high-quality bottles like Kept can harbour residue or bacteria, especially around the lid. Give it a proper weekly soak in warm water with baking soda or vinegar, and scrub any hard-to-reach bits. Dry thoroughly before popping the lid back on, or you might get a whiff of something you’d rather not drink.
Can I take a Kept bottle on a plane or through airport security?
Yes, you can take a Kept reusable water bottle through airport security, as long as it’s empty. The rules apply to liquids, not bottles. Once through, just refill at a fountain and stay hydrated without grabbing plastic. Kept bottles are built for travel - robust, lightweight, and a cinch to slip in your backpack.

How often should I wash or deep-clean my reusable water bottle?
