Avoid overstretching the pouch opening.
Regularly apply the supplied zipper lubricant - Store pouch clean and dry with newly applied zipper lubricant with the zip fully closed.

Dry Pouch Cleaning & Tips

Our bottles are not designed to be dish-washer safe. Especially for the black bottle, we do not recommend putting in the dishwasher as it is likely to damage the paint finish on your bottle. We recommend washing by hand to maximise the longevity and maintain the appearance of your bottle.
Before using either, however, make sure you totally disassemble your Red Original insulated water bottle to avoid any residue build-up and ensure they can be cleaned thoroughly.
1. Liquid Dish Soap
For everyday washes, warm, soapy water will do the trick.  Fill your bowl with warm, soapy water &#x2013; if you can&#x2019;t get your hands in the water it is too hot and might damage the finish on your bottle. Please do not use boiled water straight from a kettle to wash the outside of your bottle. Fill your bottle with the warm soapy water, place the lid/cap back on your water bottle and give it a good shake. If needed, you can use a bottle brush to reach all the way down to the bottom to scrub off any residue. Don&#x2019;t forget to wash the lid inside and out as well, paying extra attention to the spout opening or mouthpiece. Rinse and dry your bottle thoroughly before replacing the cap to avoid any build-up of mildew.
Our bottles are not suitable for being left to soak in water for extended periods as this can damage the bottle and seal.
2. Distilled White Vinegar
Use it to clean your water bottle by filling it halfway with equal parts vinegar and water. Return the bottle&#x2019;s lid and give it a few shakes before letting it sit with the solution overnight. The next day, be sure to rinse out the water bottle and the lid thoroughly with warm water to remove any leftover vinegar. Let dry. This is a particularly good way to clean a stainless-steel water bottle.

Insulated Bottle Washing

TPU or Thermoplastic Polyurethane is a tough, lightweight, pliable fabric which creates the ultimate material for handling all the adventures you care to throw at it. TPU sits somewhere between rubber and plastic which creates the perfect blend for a kit bag designed for the outdoors. We use CYCLEPET TPU which is made from recycled plastic bottles, extending the life of single use plastic. 
The bag is drop and abrasion proof so scuffs, sand and muddy environments won&#x2019;t be a problem. Keeping the bag clean is easy with the kitbag, simply wipe clean with some soapy water and your good to go!

Cleaning Kit Bags

We recommend looking after your board bag and making sure that everything is working as it should. Alex from our Customer support team talks through some top tips on maintaince and making sure your kit is ready to hit the water.

Board Bag Maintenance

Zip: Our Waterproof Soft Cooler Bags all have a YKK aquaseal zip, along with our seriously tough Armour Tech fabric, this makes our cool bags completely water and air-tight. 
After each adventure, (especially if you&apos;ve taken your cool bag along on an epic paddling adventure where salt water may&apos;ve splashed onto your zip) we recommend using a clean cloth and warm water to wipe your zip. This is mainly to stop any build up of salt or sand/grit.
There will be some lubricant included within your cool bag. To maintain a totally waterproof seal long into the future use the supplied lubricant on the zipper dock. Carefully apply a small amount to the front, back and inside of the zipper dock to keep the zipper free moving and functioning well.
In addition to this, please find some photos below that demonstrate the best way to use your zip - this will give your zip a good working life. Cleaning: 
We expect your gear to get a little dirty on your adventures. Wash off salt, dirt and grime with soapy water and rinse well with fresh water.
Mop up excess water with a cloth or towel. Leave the zipper open in a warm environment to ensure your kit is dry. Storing: Ensure your Cool Bag is completely moisture free. Apply the supplied lubricant generously and pull the zipper to the fully closed position. This will help protect the Cool Bag&#x2019;s Water-Tight feature.
