Follow our instructions to help reduce the smell of rubber.

YUYU Bottles are made from biodegradable natural rubber. When filling them for the first time you might notice a slight rubber odour. To eliminate this rubbery smell please follow these simple instructions:

  1. Take the bottle out of the cover. Rinse it out by filling it ¾ full with hot water (never use boiling water).
  2. When the lid is firmly and safely secured give the bottle a quick shake and leave for half an hour in a safe place.
  3. Repeat this procedure 3 to 4 times or until the smell subsides. When you are satisfied with the reduced odour smell then you’ll be ready to place your YUYU bottle back into its cover and use as desired.

Warning: Please note that for normal use we recommend filling up your bottle with the cover still on, but please be careful if you fill without the cover on, as it will be hot.
