Here’s the ultimate guide to cleaning and maintaining your bkr’s food grade silicone sleeve, it's glass, and accessories.Cleaning Your bkr Silicone Sleeve
1. Daily Refresh: Handwash or Throw in the Dishwasher
For everyday maintenance, wash your bkr’s silicone sleeve with warm water and mild soap. A little rinse and a soft sponge work best to remove any germs or residue. The bottle and cap should be washed daily or every other day at a minimum. The sleeve can be removed to clean but it doesn't have to be. Just clean between the glass and silicone layers once a week to keep things nice. It's easy to take the sleeve off and put it back on, see our founder's tips on Instagram Highlights: bkr care.

Your bkr bottle is 100% dishwasher safe on the top rack—because effortless care is part of its smart design. A regular cycle is fine. Make to keep everything in pristine condition by throwing it all in the dishwasher daily.
3. Odor Removal: Natural Methods
If your silicone sleeve, straws, or ice trays develop any lingering scents, try these natural remedies:
-Soaking Method: Submerge in a mix of warm water and white vinegar for a few hours, then rinse thoroughly.
-Baking Method: Place bkr silicone in the oven at 250°F for 30 minutes to neutralize odors. 45 minutes is fine too if smells have still lingered after 30.
Storing Your bkr Silicone
-Dry Completely before storing to prevent moisture buildup. We wipe dry and/or leave out overnight on our our community's favorite bkr countertop drying rack.
-Avoid Direct Sunlight for prolonged periods to maintain the integrity of the sheer silicone colors.
-Keep Away from Sharp Objects that could puncture or tear the sleeve. Knives and bkr sleeves aren't friends.
Maintaining the Beauty & Performance of Your bkr
-Prevent Staining: While silicone is resistant to most stains, certain foods like turmeric or tomato sauce may leave a tint. To avoid this, rinse your bkr sleeve promptly after exposure. Use this cleaner for any stubborn hard water spots or marks.
-Inspect for Wear & Tear: Though highly durable, all materials have limits. Regularly check for any signs of damage and replace your sleeve if necessary. Sleeves are sold separately as well so your collection can be as big and beautiful as you want.
