Dishwashers can be a time-saver, but not every part of your Owala bottle is treated equally. Here’s what you need to know about putting your Owala water bottle with straw in the dishwasher safely.
Which Parts Are Top-Rack Safe?
Lids: All Owala lids are top-rack dishwasher safe. Place them upright to avoid trapping water.
Straws: Can be placed in the silverware bin or a dishwasher-safe mesh bag.
Tritan Cups: Safe for the dishwasher’s top rack only.
Exceptions and Precautions for Stainless Steel Bottles
Stainless steel cups are not recommended for dishwasher use.
Repeated high heat cycles may cause paint fading or internal coating damage.
For longevity, hand-washing with warm soapy water is best for stainless steel models.
How to Prevent Warping or Wear
Avoid the bottom rack—it’s hotter and may warp lids or straws.
Do not use sanitizing or high-heat dry cycles, especially with logo-printed or custom bottles.
Let all parts air dry completely before reassembly.
If you’re unsure how to clean an Owala water bottle safely, default to hand washing—especially for custom or branded versions of the best water bottle with straw.
