Learn how to clean your Voli 16oz Mixer Bottle properly to prevent stubborn odors and keep it fresh for every shake.

Quick answer

Rinse your Voli 16oz Mixer Bottle with warm water immediately after each use, then wash it thoroughly with mild dish soap and a bottle brush at least once a day. For deep cleaning, soak it in a baking soda and water solution to eliminate odors. The bottle is not dishwasher safe, so hand washing is required to protect the BPA-free plastic and metal lid.

Why Your Shaker Bottle Smells (and How to Stop It)

Protein, energy drink mixes, and even plain water can leave behind residue that feeds odor-causing bacteria. The Voli 16oz Mixer Bottle has a narrow opening and a secure metal lid, which means moisture and particles can get trapped in crevices if you don't clean them properly. The most common mistake is letting a used bottle sit for hours before rinsing—this gives bacteria a head start. Always rinse immediately after drinking, even if you plan to wash it later.

Daily Cleaning Routine for Your Voli Mixer Bottle

For everyday cleaning, fill the bottle halfway with warm water, add a drop of mild dish soap, and screw the lid on tightly. Shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds, then scrub the inside with a bottle brush, paying attention to the bottom corners and the threads where the lid screws on. Rinse thoroughly with warm water until no soap remains. Wipe the metal lid with a damp cloth and dry both parts separately with a clean towel or let them air dry upside down. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals, as they can scratch the plastic and create places for bacteria to hide.

Deep Cleaning to Remove Stubborn Odors

If your bottle still smells after regular washing, it's time for a deep clean. Fill the bottle with a solution of one tablespoon of baking soda and one cup of warm water. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for severe odors. For an extra freshening boost, add a tablespoon of white vinegar. After soaking, scrub with a bottle brush and rinse well. You can also use a diluted bleach solution (one teaspoon of bleach per quart of water) for disinfection, but rinse thoroughly afterward. Never mix bleach with vinegar or other cleaners—it can create dangerous fumes.

Dishwasher Safety: What You Need to Know

The Voli 16oz Mixer Bottle is not dishwasher safe. The high heat of a dishwasher can warp the BPA-free plastic and damage the metal lid's finish or sealing components. Always hand wash to maintain the bottle's integrity and extend its lifespan. If you're in a hurry, a quick hand wash with hot water and soap is still faster than waiting for a dishwasher cycle.

Step-by-Step Cleaning Process

Rinse immediately after use: As soon as you finish your drink, empty the bottle and rinse it with warm water to remove leftover liquid and residue. This prevents sticky films from forming. Checkpoint: No visible residue or smell remains after rinsing.
Wash with warm soapy water: Fill the bottle halfway with warm water, add a drop of mild dish soap, and shake well. Use a bottle brush to scrub the inside, especially the bottom and threads. Rinse thoroughly. Common mistake: Using too much soap leaves a film that can trap odors. Use only a small amount.
Deep clean weekly or when odor persists: Soak the bottle in a baking soda solution (1 tbsp baking soda per cup of warm water) for 30 minutes or overnight. Scrub and rinse. For disinfection, use a diluted bleach solution, then rinse well. Checkpoint: The bottle should smell clean and fresh after soaking.
Dry completely before storing: After washing, dry the bottle and lid separately with a clean towel or let them air dry upside down. Ensure no moisture remains, especially in the lid's crevices. Common mistake: Storing a damp bottle with the lid on encourages mold and mildew growth.
Store with the lid off: Once dry, store the bottle without the lid to allow air circulation. This prevents musty smells from developing between uses. Next step: Keep a spare bottle or cleaning brush handy for quick maintenance.
