THE BETTER BOTTLE
KLEAN COAT™
A new standard in durability and safety for people and planet. We're proud to introduce a chip-resistant, durable Klean Coat finish that is designed with care to stand up to your inspired life.
CLIMATE LOCK™ VACUUM INSULATION
Our insulated products come in all shapes and sizes—from our 8oz Tumbler to our 64oz Insulated Classic Kanteen—to help you keep a variety of hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold. We use double-wall vacuum insulation and innovative cap designs to achieve excellent thermal performance, all with environmentally friendly and responsible materials. In fact, our 64oz Insulated Classic keeps drinks hot for 30 hours and iced for 100 (that’s more than four days). We’d say it’s a win win.
VERSATILE CONSTRUCTION
Klean Kanteens are multi-tools. Our interchangeable lids easily transition from morning coffee to afternoon smoothies, water and the gym, beer on draught--and everything in between. Versatility in design means that you can buy fewer bottles (yep, we just said that), which is better for your wallet and the planet.
STRONG AS STEEL GUARANTEE
Our goal is to reduce single use, plain and simple. So we make products guaranteed to hold up to whatever life throws at them. If you are not satisfied with one of our products at the time you receive it, or if it doesn’t perform to your satisfaction, return it to the store you bought it from or contact Klean Kanteen for repair parts, a replacement, or a refund.
We hope you'll use (and use, and use) your Klean Kanteen bottles, cups, and canisters until there’s no life left in them. Many of our products are recyclable, too.
SAFE HEALTHY MATERIALS
All our vessels are made from 18/8 (food grade) stainless steel. Our gaskets and O-rings are food-grade silicone. Our Sport, Loop, and Café Caps are made with BPA-free polypropylene #5.
We use corrugated cardboard to insulate our Food Canister Lids. It's our commitment to health, sustainability... and taking ice cream on a picnic.

WASHING YOUR BOTTLES, CUPS, CANISTERS AND CAPS
- Our single-wall Kanteens in brushed stainless are dishwasher safe, as are our pint cups, baby bottles and single wall food canisters.
- We recommend handwashing all colored and all vacuum insulated bottles, vacuum insulated tumblers and vacuum-insulated canisters.
- For thorough cleaning, you can use warm, soapy water and a bottle brush. We also recommend an old-fashioned cleaner: mixing water and baking soda making a nice thick paste.
-
If your bottle or cap seems to be retaining flavors or smells, use diluted vinegar and soak them in it overnight.
NOTE: the Stainless Unibody Bamboo Cap should not be soaked or immersed. - All Kid Kanteen and Classic caps (except the Bamboo Cap) and all Wide and TKWide caps are dishwasher safe.
PROTECTING THE COLOR ON YOUR BOTTLE
To prolong the life of your colored Klean Kanteen, handwash your bottle and don't use abrasive agents to clean it.
UNIBODY BAMBOO CAP CARE AND USE
Handwash only! Not dishwasher safe. DO NOT submerge in water, expose to high temperatures or harsh detergents. Scrub with warm soapy water, rinse and dry immediately. To prolong the life of the bamboo, treat periodically with mineral oil (standard cutting block oil) or bees wax (w/mineral oil).
MAINTENANCE KITS
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.
IT CAN LAST A LIFETIME
Klean fans can also reduce the lifecycle impacts of their Kanteens with these tips:
01 Replace Worn-Out Parts
Taking a “care and repair” approach significantly reduces the footprint of Kleans compared to single-use. After just seven weeks the carbon footprint of a 27oz Classic will break even with emissions from average bottled water consumption over the same period.
03 Pick Your Product
Vacuum insulated or single-wall? If you are in the market to keep hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold for a loooooong time, vacuum insulated is the best choice. But if you want something more lightweight with a smaller environmental footprint, single-wall is the way to go.
02 Use the Dishwasher
When care and use instructions indicate dishwasher safe, popping your Kanteen in the dishwasher actually saves more water and soap than hand washing. Bonus points if you use environmentally responsible detergent. If you have to wash your Kanteen by hand, use cold water and turn off the tap while scrubbing
04 Recycle
Kleans are built to last a lifetime, but sometimes life is rough. If you are ready to part ways with your Kanteen and can’t pass it on, you can recycle it! Most metal recyclers will accept the stainless steel body. Caps and lids require a specialty recycling center.
THERMAL
PERFORMANCE
We’ve revolutionized thermal performance with two key innovations. The first is our award-winning Climate Lock® vacuum insulation. With durable double-wall construction, Climate Lock consistently out-performs the competition.
Add Climate Lock to our new TK Closure system and you’ve got unbeatable thermal performance. We’ve replaced the traditional external thread closure system on our lids and bottles with a revolutionary internal thread design that creates a stronger insulated barrier.
CROSS -
COMPATIBILITY
Change your cap, not your bottle. From chug caps to sport caps, straw lids to coffee tops, we’ve got caps and lids for every style of sipping, slurping and swilling imaginable. We’ve designed our many caps and lids to be compatible with all bottles and bottle sizes in their product family. We also sell caps and lids as accessories, so folks can increase the versatility of their Kanteen just by purchasing a few lids.
