Kitchen & bottles: your questions answered

Insulated stainless steel or plastic: which water bottle should I choose?
Insulated stainless steel bottles and tumblers, from brands such as YETI and Owala, keep drinks cold or hot for hours and are tough, though heavier. Plastic bottles like Nalgene's are light and sturdy, ideal for hiking and gym bags. Collapsible bottles fold flat when empty for travel. Think about where you'll use it and whether you want a straw, a sip spout or a wide mouth for ice.
How do I clean a water bottle properly?
Wash bottles and lids after each use with warm, soapy water and a bottle brush, taking apart straws, seals and lids where you can, as that's where residue builds up. Check the care instructions before using the dishwasher, as many insulated bottles are hand-wash only to protect the vacuum seal and finish. Leave the parts open to air dry fully before putting them back together.
How do I choose a kids' water bottle?
Look for a leak-proof lid, a straw or spout your child can open by themselves, and a size that fits their school bag and the cup holder in the car. Check the age guidance, and choose a design whose parts come apart easily for cleaning. Replacement straws and lids are often sold separately, which helps a bottle last longer. A name label helps it come home from school.
