Wash your new copper bottle with mild soap and warm water. Rinse it well to remove any manufacturing residues. This helps ensure it’s safe for drinking water.

Always use filtered or clean drinking water. Avoid filling with acidic liquids (like lemon juice) which can corrode copper. Safe water prevents unwanted chemical reactions.

Let the water sit in the copper bottle for 6 to 8 hours. This allows trace amounts of copper to dissolve, offering potential health benefits. Do not store water longer than 12 hours.

Drink copper-infused water once or twice a day. The recommended intake is about 1–2 glasses per day. Too much copper can cause nausea or other health issues.

Clean your copper bottle every day after use. Use a gentle mixture of lemon juice and salt or a vinegar solution. Avoid harsh chemicals or dishwashers, which can damage the copper.

Check your copper bottle for dents or greenish stains. Green stains may indicate oxidation. If the bottle is damaged or heavily oxidized, stop using it.
