Proper care and gentle handling of items are the key to successful use. By following simple rules, you can enjoy the flawless functionality and perfect appearance of products for a very long time. Read the instructions to get the most benefit and joy from using Kite thermoses, thermo mugs, and water bottles.
How to care for a Kite thermos and thermo mug
- 1. Before using the thermo mug or thermos, thoroughly rinse the inside and the lid.
- 2. Before using thermal ware, it is recommended to pre-heat (or cool) it. Pour boiling water or ice water for 2-3 minutes, then drain and fill the thermal ware with the desired beverage. This way, the metal flask will absorb the maximum necessary heat or cold, and the liquid will retain the desired temperature longer.
- 3. Keep the thermos at a safe distance from your face when opening the lid. Also, do not pour in very hot, freshly boiled water.
- 4. Be careful when pouring hot drinks, avoid splashes of boiling water and hot water getting on your skin.
- 5. Do not fill the drink to the brim or overfill the thermos to avoid possible burns when unscrewing the lid. Do not pour liquid to the edge of the flask, leaving enough space to screw on the lid.
- 6. When not using a thermos or thermo mug, leave it open so that all its parts dry and air out thoroughly. This will prevent the growth of bacteria and the appearance of foreign odors (if not washed well enough after use, or if the product is closed before being fully dried).
- 7. Thermoses and thermo mugs are not intended for use in microwave ovens, and should not be placed near heating devices. It is also not recommended to clean them with alkaline solutions or wash them in a dishwasher.
- 8. It is recommended to wash the thermos with a mild detergent and use a brush to clean the inside.
- 9. To prevent the formation of dark plaque after using colored drinks, it is recommended to pour boiling water with dissolved baking soda inside for a few minutes. Tea and coffee stains may not disappear on the first wash, but they do not negatively affect the quality of the product.
- 10. Wash and wipe the product only with delicate soft sponges or cloths to avoid scratches.
- 11. Use bottle brushes to clean straws or hard-to-reach places.
- 12. When washing, do not forget to detach the seal on the stopper. And after drying, put it back in place.
How to care for a Kite water bottle
Keeping your water bottle in excellent condition is very easy and simple. A few universal tips will help maintain your favorite bottles in perfect condition. They will look like new even after long-term use.
1. Rinse the bottle immediately after use; do not leave drinks in it for a long time.
2. Wash with a delicate sponge and mild detergents.
3. Rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove any detergent residue.
4. Wipe and dry the bottle completely, disassembled, to prevent moisture stagnation and bacterial growth.
5. Before use, carefully read the instructions on the packaging; do not pour drinks inside whose temperature exceeds that indicated on the label.
6. Tighten the lid securely (and close the valve) to prevent liquid leakage.
7. Store the product away from heat or fire sources.
8. Use special brushes (bottle brushes) to clean bottles and straws.
9. Do not boil the bottle or its components for cleaning.
10. Detach textile straps and handles before washing.
What is not recommended to pour into Kite thermoses and bottles
- Carbonated drinks, which can cause excessive pressure build-up, potentially leading to leakage, difficulty opening the stopper, or its spontaneous opening due to pressure.
- Salty drinks, as prolonged contact with salt can be harmful to the internal material.
- Perishable drinks are not recommended to be left for long periods. Dairy, fermented dairy drinks, juices, and fresh juices release gases when they spoil, creating excessive internal pressure. This can deform the bottle or lead to injuries when opening the lid.
- Pieces of fruit, pulp, berries, coffee grounds, tea leaves (these substances can get stuck in the stopper and lead to drinks leaking, as well as clogging the straw or valve).
Follow these simple rules and enjoy using Kite products with pleasure and benefit!
