FAQs
Can hot or carbonated beverages be used in the FreeSip water bottle?
The Stainless Steel FreeSip water bottle shouldn’t be used with hot, carbonated, or perishable liquids. If your go-to drinks are hot or carbonated beverages, look at one of their tumblers or the FreeSip Twist.
Are FreeSip water bottles dishwasher safe?
The lids of stainless steel bottles are dishwasher safe and the straws can go in the silverware bin. While the cups are dishwasher safe, Owala recommends hand-washing them to protect the finish.
Tritan plastic bottles are top-rack dishwasher safe.
