How to Dry SodaStream Bottles Effectively

by | Kitchen

In this short post, you will find a simple solution to dry your SodaStream bottles effectively.

Best Practice for Drying SodaStream bottles

The key to quick and efficient drying of SodaStream bottles is to keep the bottle upside down and provide proper ventilation. Flipping the bottle upside down lets the water drain out, minimizing leftover moisture, which speeds up the drying process significantly.

The best way to do this is to put an opened bottle on your dish drainer, drying rack, or in a cutlery rack upside down. Ideally, you want a drying rack with branches (Amazon link), which will hold each bottle in a position for the water to drip out and for the moisture to evaporate. You can even make a DIY bottle holder with a cup and fork. Whichever drying tool you will use, make sure that there is enough airflow around the neck of the bottle.

To speed up the drying process even more, grab a dishcloth, give it a twist to make it narrower, pop it into the bottle, and give it a good swirl. While it won’t get the bottle completely dry, it’ll cut down the drying time significantly.

Don’t Forget About the Cap

When drying your SodaStream bottle, don’t forget about the cap. The silicone seal is prone to mold growth, especially in damp conditions. Hence, make sure to put it on a drying rack or dry it upside down so there is enough airflow around the silicone seal.

Hot Water Rinse?

You might wonder whether rinsing the bottle in hot water might speed up the drying time. Even though it would likely help, since you should not drink hot water from the tap (more on that topic in our other post), we prefer to finish cleaning the bottles with a cold water rinse. This is particularly useful when you may need to use the bottle before it fully dries.
