Keep Your Owala, Yeti, and Stanley Tumblers Clean With These Essential Tools, Starting at $4

Your Owala, Yeti, and Stanley tumblers are amazing at keeping your water cold, your coffee hot, and your body hydrated, but they’re also a breeding ground for bacteria. To keep the germs at bay, Amazon shoppers have turned to bottle brushes, dish racks, cleaning tablets, and more. Your drinks will taste better and your water bottles will last longer with these clever products near to hand. 

Read on to shop seven of the most popular tumbler tools on Amazon, starting at just $4. 

Best Tumbler Cleaning Tools 

OXO Good Grips Water Bottle Cleaning Set

When we need new kitchen gadgets, OXO is one of the first brands we look to. It seems that Amazon shoppers agree since more than 8,400 of them gave this OXO Good Grips cleaning set five stars. With three brushes — including a bottle, a straw, and a smaller model for hard-to-reach crevices — your water bottles will be bacteria-free in no time. These handy tools are also great for scrubbing wine decanters, blender blades, and more.   

Hydro Flask Bottle Brush 

This brush from Food & Wine’s favorite tumbler brand Hydro Flask is a fantastic alternative to OXO’s cleaning set. Thanks to its long handle, tough bristles, and sturdy construction, it has more than 2,300 perfect ratings on Amazon. One shopper wrote that “it holds up well to regular use,” and another added that it’s “definitely worth the money.”

Bottle Bright 36-Count Bottle Cleaning Tablets 

Perhaps the easiest way to wash everything from stainless steel tumblers to food storage containers is with Bottle Bright’s tablets. Simply fill your dirty receptacle with warm water, drop in one of the cleaning capsules, and let it stand for 15 to 30 minutes. One Amazon shopper dubbed them “literally magic,” adding that their much-used Yeti tumblers look “brand new.” Grab a pack of 12 for just $8.    

OXO Good Grips Aluminum Frame Drying Rack 

Don’t spend time and effort cleaning your water bottles only to pop the lids on top and shove them in a cabinet without fully drying them first. Talk about a recipe for mold and disaster. Instead, grab a dish rack that’s been specifically designed for tumblers. With hooks for airing out the insides of your bottles, slots for straws, and a base for lids, this OXO tool has everything you need for efficient and sanitary drying. Since the brand thinks of everything, it’s also foldable for easy storage.  

Vidonio 3-in-1 Lid Gap Cleaning Brush Set

Shoppers found lids tricky to clean with their rubber gaskets and narrow crevices until Vidonio solved this problem with its 3-in-1 brush set. Their small size belies their impressive functionality: You can use the silicone u-shaped brush to scrub the rims of your bottles, the stiff corner brush to access hard-to-reach grooves, and the wire brush for everything else. There are three in the set, so use one, keep another as a backup for when you inevitably lose it, and gift the last to a lucky person in your life. 

Beuiciry Long Straw Cleaner Brushes 

Since your straws are as filthy as your bottles, you’ll likely need to grab this 10-pack of straw brushes. They have tough bristles and a long reach to ensure the interiors of your straws are scrubbed free of mold and grime. While the brushes themselves are dishwasher-safe and reusable, they won’t last forever, which is why a large set like this is so helpful.  

Essential Oxygen Food-Grade Hydrogen Peroxide 

If you’re more of a do-it-yourselfer, grab Essential Oxygen’s bottle of food-grade hydrogen peroxide. It can clean vegetables and stainless steel alike, making this $17 bottle the most versatile (and valuable) product on this list. Keep in mind that a little goes a long way.
