Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

So this product is great and does everything it says: it's leak proof, attractive, the pop-up straw is genius, and it is *mostly* dishwasher safe... I ran into a major issue the first time I ran the lid through the dishwasher. The smell of the dish-washing detergent clung strongly to the mouth piece! Every time I took a sip my nose was being assaulted by a fake lemon detergent smell (literally made me gag). First, I tried hand washing the lid and inside the mouth piece using antibacterial dish soap, hot water, and a straw cleaning brush... that just replaced one fake citrus scent with another. Second, I tried soaking it in a solution of hot water and baking soda overnight... still no luck getting rid of the smell. Finally I tried letting it soak in white vinegar for a couple of hours, then rinsing with COLD water. That did the trick. No lingering smells, not even the vinegar! Cold or lukewarm water is they key; I only learned this after doing a bit of Googling and seeing an article about getting the smell out of Ziploc containers. Apparently hot water contributes to making the smell cling to the plastic! I would still recommend this product overall, but I wish they had a warning about this and didn't label the lid as dishwasher safe. I will definitely be hand washing the lid from here on out. I hope this information helps other buyers!
