Klean Kanteen

Product Information

We recommend handwashing all coloured and all vacuum insulated bottles, vacuum insulated tumblers and vacuum-insulated canisters.

With the use of the Insulated Kid Kanteen. Kids may not be able to gauge the temperature of the liquid inside the bottle With normal wear and tear and daily use, paint can chip as a result of abrasion, scratching and impact (i.e. bottles falling out of bags etc.). The paint Klean uses is an acrylic-based that is lead free, BPA-free and free from toxic chemicals. Klean Kanteen rely on an extensive restricted substances list (RSL) and 3rd party lab testing to evaluate whether to consider specific colours, and will not offer those colours if they involve a chemical of concern. In just one year, the USA used 58 billion to-go cups and 35 billion plastic water bottles. As a family owned company, Klean Kanteen were on a mission in 2004 to introduce the first stainless steel, BPA-free, reusable water bottle because they wanted a non-toxic solution to single-use rubbish. Today, Klean Kanteen are a certified B-Corporation company. In a category filled with a variety of material options and offerings oriented towards innovation or product for product's sake, the simplicity of Klean Kanteen is unique. Many plastic bottle brands claim to be BPA-free and non-toxic. Whilst that may or may not be accurate, more and more studies show growing concern over plastics, including plastic liners in aluminium bottles. When it comes to health and safety for Klean, earth-based (rather than man-made) materials like stainless steel and silicone are the preferred materials.

Welcome to Klean Kanteen

First place something over the rim of the Kanteen (i.e. a small piece of finished wood). This will protect the integrity of the mouthpiece and rim while you are tapping with the mallet by dispersing the pressure more evenly. Due to its popularity it's important to us that we are able to meet customer demands for Klean Kanteen products. We select partners carefully so that the Klean Kanteen brand is represented in the best possible way and our business grows in a sustainable way. With the use of the Steel Loop Cap and Bamboo Cap. The steel cap can conduct the heat from the hot liquids and can be hot to touch. If you have a metal allergy or sensitive palate, you may detect a metallic taste. Swapping out the cap to a Sport of Café Cap is a great solution as these caps are Polypropylene and create a barrier between your mouth and the Kanteen itself.

Get an extra pair of hands for help. You'll need one person to hold the bottle steady and one person to hold the wood and swing on the mallet. Remember to take it easy when swinging the mallet - swing softly! Yes. Insulated bottles are made using durable, double-wall construction and vacuum insulation, which is both long-lasting and sustainable. Because they're insulated, these bottles will NOT show condensation build-up on the exterior of the bottle, regardless of what's inside them or the temperature outside. Klean Kanteen UK offer a range of premium, all stainless cap options for the Classic line including the Stainless Unibody Bamboo Cap and our Stainless Loop Cap. Klean Kanteen's goal is to make reusable products at prices that are solutions at an accessible price point, so caps are available that are made from safe, BPA-free polypropylene (pp#5) that are completely recyclable at end of life. These caps are lightweight and meet our high standards for quality, durability and design. The Wide Loop and Flip D-Ring caps are PP#5 on the outside, but an all-stainless interior, so drink contents never touch plastic. Why do your Insulated Food Canisters have plastic in the lid? To reduce wear and tear and prolong the life of your Klean Kanteen, we recommend hand washing painted bottles with mild, biodegradable detergent. The high water pressure and temperature in dishwashers can cause painted bottles to chip over time. I have a split weld in my Kanteen. What should i do? With the use of the Sport Cap, Kid Sippy cap and Straw. These drink through accessories and may not be safe to use with hot liquids.All Kid Kanteen and Classic caps (except the Bamboo Cap) and all Wide and TKWide caps are dishwasher safe.

With the use of any single-wall (non-insulated) products. These products may be hot to touch if used for hot liquids. This scenario is not recommended for kids or adults. Even if you've dented your bottle, it's still totally safe to use. With no plastic liner on the inside, a dent, no matter how large, will not change the composition of the metal nor make it unsafe. My Café Cap leaks. Will you replace it? No. All Klean Kanteen painted products are non-toxic, safe and durable. Paints are reviewed and tested annually and exclusively use an acrylic paint that contains no toxins or lead. What is Stainless Steel and what does 18/8 stand for?

Classic Loop Caps and Wide Caps are dishwasher safe. The Café Cap 2.0 is also dishwasher safe and the group of rotating pieces can be popped out for a thorough clean. Reduce. Reuse. Repair… Our Maintenance Kits are designed to do just that. Our kits include o-rings, gaskets and gaskets tools -- a no-fuss fix that extends the life of your bottle so it's running as long as you are. Available for both Classic and Wide caps. In a pinch, single-wall Classic and single-wall Wide bottles (with the Brushed Stainless finish) can be placed on a fire or a stove as long as you take the cap off. Do not do this with a painted bottle as it will damage the paint. Heating an Insulated Kanteen is not advised, it will damage the bottle and voids the warranty. To identify what kind of Kanteen you have, look at the bottom of the bottle. All Klean Insulated Kanteens have a separate, extra shiny "bottom cap" piece on the bottom and also have the word "insulated" below the logo. Are Klean Kanteen products dishwasher safe? If you've already given it a good scrub with a bottle brush and warm soapy water, try mixing a quarter cup of vinegar and 3 - 4 tablespoons of baking powder in warm water and let it soak in your Kanteen overnight. Unfortunately, not. The force of liquids expanding as they freeze can cause your Klean Kanteen to become deformed and can also break the weld that holds the bottle together, so we strongly advise against it. Freezing any Klean Kanteen product will void the Strong as Steel™ guarantee against manufacturer defects. Can I put my Klean Kanteen on a stove?

If your bottle or cap seems to be retaining flavours or smells, use diluted vinegar and soak them in it overnight. NOTE: the Stainless Unibody Bamboo Cap should not be soaked or immersed.

Kids' Water Bottles and Sippy Cups

Klean Kanteen products are made of durable 18/8 stainless steel. Unfortunately they can dent when dropped. Our Strong as Steel™ guarantee covers manufacturer's defects only, not damage caused by using or dropping your bottle. If you here a rattle in your kanteen, it can be one of two things; either the weld (or a piece of it) that retains the integrity of the vacuum space has become dislodged and is now rattling in the space between the double wall insulation, or a small piece of metal called the "getter" has broken free and is now moving about freely at the base of your Kanteen. You can continue to use your bottle normally as it is still completely safe. Freezing your Klean Kanteen voids Klean's Strong as Steel™ guarantee because the expansion of the water can put so much force on the steel that it causes it to bulge or even split at the weld. Sometimes nothing at all happens. It depends on whether the cap was on and how much liquid was in the Kanteen. Either way, it's still safe to drink from it and freezing the bottle does not alter the safety or composition of the food-grade stainless steel in any way.
