I have a new love in my life… my new water bottle from the Bamboo Bottle Company!

This sleek bottle actually has three parts, the glass bottle which holds any hot or cold liquid, the bamboo outer shell, and a plastic top and bottom which hold it all together.  It’s fantastic because I can take it apart, clean and sterilize the glass bottle, and then put it back together.  Gone are the days of stinky water bottles.  Here are the Bamboo Bottle Company’s recommendations for cleaning…

The Bamboo:
To clean the bamboo, simply wipe the bamboo cylinder with a damp cloth. Do not use hot water and refrain from soaking it in water. The bamboo is NOT dishwasher or microwave safe.

The Glass:
Cleaning the glass is simple. Remove the top cap and ring, and bamboo sleeve from the dishwasher-safe glass interior and bottom cap. We recommended leaving the bottom cap attached to the glass for ease of handling. The glass can be washed either in the dishwasher or in your sink – its cleaning technique is just like your household glasses. Use dishwasher detergent, or dish soap and clean with hot water. Cleaning your water bottle has never been easier.

The Cap, Top Ring and Bottom:
The cap, top ring and bottom are dishwasher safe. Simply take each individual component and place in dishwasher.

This bottle is also an environmental rock star!  You’ll have to check out Bamboo Bottle Company’s website, but here are a few fun facts…

  • Bamboo replenishes the environment and the air we breathe. Bamboo releases 35% more oxygen than equivalent strands of trees. And it can sequester up to 12 tons of carbon dioxide from the air per hectare. (Bamboo really does help fight global warming!)
  • Harvesting bamboo does not destroy its root system, meaning there is no topsoil erosion or run-off.
  • Harvesting of bamboo minimally impacts the wildlife, compared to hardwood “logging,” where big machinery tears the land apart.

As you can see, I take this bottle with me to spin and when I run errands.  I love how stylish it is and again, how easy it is to clean.  I still have my two water bottles at work, but it has been great keeping this one in my car.

Two thumbs up on this bottle!!
