Cleaning Your Water Bottles With EcoBrite Cleaning Tablets

What are bottle cleaning tablets?
Kind of like magic and science mixed together. A bottle cleaning tablet is a small, dissolvable tablet that is designed to effectively clean various types of bottles and tumblers. When the tablet is added to water, it dissolves and releases cleaning agents that take their mission to remove stains and odors from the interior surfaces of a bottle very seriously. Cool, right?
Owala x EcoBrite Tablets
If your water bottle is feeling a little worn down, we’ve got some good news: Owala and EcoBrite have joined forces to give your bottles and tumblers the ultimate spa day.
These small but mighty water bottle cleaning tablets have quickly become a lifesaver for busy people everywhere. Why? Because they’re an efficient, eco-friendly, and hassle-free way to keep their bottles clean. So if you’re too tired to clean, don’t worry—they’ll do the dirty work for you.
The good news about using your bottle a lot: You’re probably happily hydrated. Go you. But here’s the bad news: When you repeatedly pour and sip, gradually dirt and grime build up. Plus, exposure to air and moisture creates an ideal environment for microbial growth. Over time, you get stains, residue, and probably some pretty gross odors, which is why regular cleaning is absolutely necessary to keep you healthy and your bottle in peak condition.
Enter EcoBrite Cleaning Tablets
Traditional cleaning methods usually involve brushes, detergents, and a bit of elbow grease. There must be a better option, right? Well, there is. EcoBrite cleaning tablets remove the hassle while still being ultra effective. These tablets were created specifically to clean your tumbler and the inside of water bottles, removing residue, stains, and odors—all while maintaining the convenience of an on-the-go cleaning solution. *Cue slow clap.*
Don’t get us wrong… you’ll still need to scrub your bottle every now and then. While EcoBrite tablets are awesome at removing visible stains and odors, it's important to note that they aren't intended to replace thorough sanitation. For more information on proper cleaning and sanitation practices, check out the CDC guidelines on cleaning and sanitizing water bottles. While they enhance daily cleanliness, periodic deep cleaning and sanitizing are still important to keep away harmful bacteria and microbes.
Cleaning, Simplified
All you need to refresh your bottle: EcoBrite Cleaning Tablet and water. (Yes, that’s it.) For best results, just follow these easy steps.
- Fill your bottle with warm water, leaving a little space at the top to prevent overflowing. The tablet will fizz a little bit, like a baking soda and vinegar volcano from science class—except, you know, less explosive.
- Drop in the Ecobrite tablet. If your bottle is larger than 32oz, we recommend using two tablets to make sure it gets squeaky clean.
- Let it do the work, while you sit back and relax. For light cleaning, the tablet should only need 5-10 minutes to work its magic. If you’re working with tough stains or residue, let it sit a little longer. For tough stains, let it sit overnight.
- Dump and Rinse. Finally, pour out the solution and rinse your bottle. If you still have some tough-to-remove stains, you may need to do a little scrubbing or use the hose on your sink.
Bonus Benefits
- Time-Saving: Because you’re a busy person with things to do and places to be. All you have to do is fill up the bottle and drop in the tablet.
- Eco-Friendly: EcoBrite cleaning tablets are made from natural and biodegradable ingredients. By using them, you’re making the planet happy.
- Convenience on the Go: Whether you're at home, the office, or on an adventure, EcoBrite tablets are portable and easy to carry, so that your Owala can stay clean wherever you are.
- Odor Elimination: Goodbye, funky smells. EcoBrite tablets not only remove visible stains, but also banish lingering odors, leaving your Owala smelling fresh as a daisy.
Thanks to Ecobrite, cleaning your bottle is convenient, efficient, eco-friendly, and dare we say… fun? (After all, it does all the work for you.) Let’s just say it’s the ultimate shortcut to hydration hygiene. So cheers to a brighter future, where your bottle is always sparkly clean and you never have to scrub again.
