BOTTLES

FITCHUG water bottles are made from double wall vacuum insulated 18/8 food grade stainless steel.

You can use simple liquid dish soap and a sponge or soft dish cleaning brush (not included) such as the one shown here for getting those hard to reach areas inside. If you have a hard to get off dirty substance or grim you can also try isopropyl alcohol. - We don't recommend other harsh chemicals. 

*Dishwashers are not recommended and will void your warranty.

Many dishwashers have a high heat process and when combined with detergents can become corrosive during the wash cycle. Those harsh elements can have an adverse affect on the bottles exterior and thus damage them.

Yes absolutely.
FITCHUG water bottles keep liquids hot for up-to 12 hours and cold for up-to 24 hours.
We recommend using extreme caution when pouring any hot liquids into the bottle to avoid getting burned.

* CAUTION
A)
 We DO NOT recommend using the Flip Straw Lid if you intend on using hot liquids in your water bottle. They are not 100% leak proof and hot liquids can create pressure which could result in burns.
B) Hot liquids can create internal pressure - use extreme caution when opening any bottle with hot liquids inside as they maybe under pressure.

This sound is actually from part of the Manufacturing process and can be normal. This small noise was created when they preformed the vacuum insulating process and will not affect the performance of the bottle or insulation values.

Because our LUX-BOTTLE™ is considered a Luxury item, a very different set of circumstances apply to the warranty. For example our LUX-Bottle™ can get light scratches or scuffs on the exterior coating VERY easily. Thus we have tried to be VERY diligent in any reference or page on the LUX-BOTTLE™ page stating that we can not cover or warranty a LUX-BOTTLE™ due to light scratches or scuffs. LUX-BOTTLES are indeed the most luxurious looking hydration bottle made but they do require the owner to be very careful in how they handle and maintain their bottle.

If you desire a more durable bottle we strongly suggest our PRO SERIES bottles which should not give you any problems in everyday all around use.
