• Food grade stainless steel does not leach harmful toxins that are often found in plastics, such as Bisphenol-A (BPA)

• All lids, teats & seals are 100% BPA free - safe for you AND the environment
• Also free from phthalates & PVC
• Gorgeous nature inspired designs, hand painted with non-toxic, low VOC (volatile organic compound) paint
• Earthlust bottles do not contain any lining & are independently tested as lead-free (see Earthlust Lab Test Results)

• Fully recyclable - simply separate the plastic and metal parts and place in a recycle bin!

How to Clean:

• Wash your Earthlust Birds bottle with a mild dishwashing detergent
• Dishwasher not recommended
• Sterilise silicone teats and spouts in boiling water for 5 minutes prior to first use
• You can also use a baking soda or diluted white vinegar wash to preserve the clean, neutral taste over time (brush as needed).
• If you live in an area with a high mineral content in the water, you can remove calcium deposits by washing the bottle with warm water & white wine vinegar.
• Do not freeze or place on the stove.
• Bleach or ammonia should not be used on stainless steel.
