“This is great! I use it for smoothies all the time, it’s wide enough to not be a struggle like other straws, and doesn’t collapse in on itself like plain silicon straws do. It’s also super easy to clean. I’ve tried a few different kinds of reusable straws, and this is THE ONE for me!”
“Very disappointed with this purchase. If it's not water then is very difficult to clean and get rid of odors. The straw is not long enough to do a thorough cleaning.”
Hi Arlyn,
We're so sorry you're having trouble cleaning your FinalStraw!! We recommend cleaning your FinalStraw with soap and water. When washing it be sure to stretch the metal pieces apart and get the outside of the silicone tubing nice and soapy before giving it a rinse. Once you rinse, fold your FinalStraw in a “V” formation and give it a little shake to let the water out. Then, place your “V” formation straw in a cup to let it dry. Once dry, fold back into your case and you are good to go!
At least once a month, we recommend you put your FinalStraw into the dishwasher folded into a "V" formation to allow for cleaning in between the metal pieces. Additionally, you have the option to sterilize your FinalStraw in boiling water with a little bit of baking soda.
Should you have any further questions please let us know and contact our customer support team at halp@finalstraw.com!
