“How do I clean my Nalgene?” It is one of the most popular and easiest answered questions the brand gets from the public (except for maybe “How do you make such an AWESOME bottle?”). 

It’s Not Rocket Science. It’s Dishwasher Safe!

Truth is cleaning a Nalgene is as about as easy as it gets and it’s one of the reasons that Nalgene continues to be a favorite among those with busy active lifestyles. Cleaning a Nalgene is effortless. No small parts and no hand-washing required!

Just screw off the cap, empty the bottle’s contents, and place your Nalgene bottle and cap on the top shelf of your dishwasher (away from the heating element).  Press the start button, then kick back and relax!

Too tall for the top rack? Our Silo bottles are 48 ounces tall admittedly making for tricky placement. The simple two-part engineering of a Nalgene allows the cap to go on top where it is safe from the heating elements. The bottle can handle the bottom rack and a high temperature sanitizing cycle, no problem!

At the end of the cycle, your Nalgene is once again ready for any adventure. Even if you’re a “drop the gym bag and forget it” kind of person cleaning a Nalgene is within reach!
