Hand wash your hydration system using warm or hot soapy water. Using our Cleaning Kit helps access tough to reach places.
For deeper cleaning:
- a. Per liter volume of your hydration system, add ¼ Cup of baking soda to ¾ Cup of water and shake for 30 seconds (e.g., for a 2L hydration system use ½ Cup of baking soda with 1 ½ Cup water).
- b. Add ¼ Cup lemon juice per liter, close and shake 10 seconds, then vent by opening hydration system away from face.
- c. Re-seal hydration system and repeat shaking and venting three times. Expel as much air as possible, close hydration system, and soak for 20 minutes.
- d. Dump solution and rinse hydration system three times with hot water.
Caution :When adding lemon juice to baking soda, effervescence occurs and will cause pressure to build in a closed Platypus product.
