Product Highlights: * Hygienic TPU material: Ensures clean, safe hydration every time. * Large screw cap: Makes filling and cleaning quick and easy. * Bite valve with dust cover: Keeps the valve clean and ready to use. Capacity: 2L Material: TPU, PP Care Instruction: * Pre-First-Use Cleaning: Rinse the bladder and bite valve thoroughly with warm water before first use (removes any residual manufacturing dust). For extra hygiene, wipe the interior with a mild, food-safe detergent, then rinse 2 3 times to ensure no soap residue remains. * Regular Cleaning: After each use, empty any remaining water immediately do not leave water sitting in the bladder (prevents mold, mildew, or bacterial growth). Wash the bladder with warm water and a soft-bristled brush (avoid abrasive tools that scratch TPU); use a small brush (e.g., a bottle brush) to clean the inside of the bite valve and tube. * Bite Valve & Dust Cover Care: Remove the dust cover after use and rinse the valve with warm water; dry the cover separately to keep it free of moisture. Check the valve for clogs (e.g., from fruit bits or powder mixes) soak in warm water if needed to clear blockages, ensuring smooth water flow. * Drying & Storage: Hang the bladder upside down (with the screw cap open) in a cool, ventilated area to dry completely avoid direct sunlight (prevents TPU degradation). Once dry, store the bladder with the cap slightly loose (not fully sealed) to allow air circulation; do not fold or compress the bladder (maintains its shape and prevents crease-related mold). * Material Protection: Do not use boiling water or store hot liquids in the bladder (TPU can warp or release harmful substances at high temperatures). Avoid filling with acidic drinks (e.g., citrus juices) or sugary/powdered mixes that dry and stick if used, rinse immediately after to prevent residue buildup. * Long-Term Maintenance: If mold or mildew appears (visible spots or musty odor), clean the bladder with a solution of 1 part white vinegar to 3 parts warm water soak for 30 minutes, then scrub and rinse thoroughly. For stubborn stains, use a food-safe bladder cleaner (follow product instructions) to avoid damaging TPU.
