We just love using Klean Kanteens. I've had one for about two years and finally got both of my kids their own. No interior coatings, no plastic, just simple stainless steel and it's dishwasher safe!

Product Details


Design & functionality
Klean Kanteen is a reusable, risk-free stainless steel container that does not leach toxins into its contents. Reusable, lightweight & durable. The wide-mouth accommodates ice cubes and makes cleaning easy.

Materials
Made from electropolished, non-leaching, high grade 304 L.N. (18/8) stainless steel. Klean Kanteen’s 304 L.N. stainless steel is grade blended specifically for food preparation, dairy, brewing, various medical uses and other applications where mineral migration is unacceptable. The steel is put through a electropolishing process which seals the surface and prevents minerals from migrating into the contents. These reusable, risk-free stainless steel containers do not impart taste and do not leach toxins into their contents. Plastics (polycarbonate) have been shown to leach carcinogens including BPA during regular use, exposure to heat and especially after cleaning. From manufacturing, to use and disposal, plastics pollute our health and environment.


Sustainability
100% recyclable. Using Klean Kanteen bottles helps replace wasteful, use-and-toss single-serving plastic beverage containers, while saving you money in the process. Reusing durable Klean Kanteen bottles ultimately helps you consume less over time. Furthermore, 304 (or 18/8) stainless steel is a sustainable material, having a long service life, usability in a number of applications and is environmentally friendly. Stainless steel needs less maintenance and its hygienic qualities means that we do not have to use harsh cleaners to get a clean surface.

Fact: over 50% of new stainless steel comes from re-melted stainless steel scrap (SSINA)

About Klean Kanteen
Klean Kanteen, a family-owned company in Chico, CA, was the first to create a stainless steel beverage container to curb the use of the one-time use water bottle and in response to credible reports about chemicals in common plastic drinking and food containers. Since 2004, Klean Kanteen has been informing the public about the health and environmental hazards of eating and drinking from plastic containers at consumer and trade shows such as Green Festivals, Outdoor Retailer Market, Natural Products Expo West and East, Interbike Expo, Whole Children Whole Planet and many others.

Klean Kanteen visits their manufacturing facilities 4-5 times per year and perform audits every six months to ensure all of their products are produced with respect for the environment and fair labor standards, including: the ethical treatment of factory workers, child labor, wages/benefits, health and safety, etc. Additionally, they do regular lab testing on random shipments through a local lab in the U.S. to ensure their products are made per their specifications, are free of hazardous substances such as lead, and do not leach chromium, manganese, etc.

Care Instructions
Klean Kanteens are dishwasher safe (washing caps in the dishwasher is not recommended because water can squeeze itself into the cap) or easy to clean with a bottle brush and mild soap. We recommend an old fashioned cleaner: white vinegar and baking soda. Stainless steel does not rust. If your bottle appears to have rusted, it is a harmless residue left behind from the electro-polishing process. Electro charges remove fine particles from the stainless steel surface, remove impurities and seal it. Electrolytes left behind sometimes turn a rust color, but it's harmless.

Love it, dishwasher safe

by Lydia L - 11/2009

We love the Klean Kanteen around our house; all 3 of us have one now. The 12 oz is the perfect size for our daughter. Since she is 3, I do wish I had bought the sippy cup top converter b/c she can't unscrew the regular top herself.

This is our second year using this bottle

by Tracey N - 09/2009

This is our second year using this bottle. I was so happy to find this 12oz size because a 16oz bottle is too large to fit in my son's lunchbox. The smaller size also means there's no waste since he typically can't finish more than 12oz during his lunch period. The stainless steel bottle keeps his drink very cold and the seal on the cap has never leaked.

Love this product! My kids are already drinking much more water now that they all have a water bottle. Will be ordering again! The sports tops are great. Thanks!

by Michelle M - 08/2009

Emphasis on the "Kanteen" - This is a compact bottle, perfect for quick trips and little sips. However, I'm not too fond of unscrewing and screwing the cap to drink. It's a hassle when you're driving, and threading the top takes a lot of time if you want it to close securely. Sport tops are available, but at an extra cost. It really feels like you're drinking out of a camping canteen. The outside also sweats a lot. I'd prefer a Nalgene or recyclable plastic bottle with sport top instead.

Love Love Love these bottles

by colleen c - 08/2009

Love Love Love these bottles. Three months after "making the switch" and refusing to buy any more plastic bottles, our family has adjusted and we really like these. They are smooth to hold and easy to clean. We each have our own color of 18 oz and I have 12 oz for lunchboxes. You can add ice and they stay cold. My teen daughter, who is notoriously hard to please, is not quite sold on these. She claims they taste metallic. I admit there is the FAINTEST hint of a metallic taste, but the rest of us have found it completely remedied by purchasing the fabulous new sport lid, which means your mouth does not touch the metal of the bottles. The sport lid makes this bottle all the better.

by madeline m - 07/2009

We have many kinds of reusable bottles in our house so you can probably believe us when we say these are our favorites. I pack these in my 5-year-old son's Munchler lunchbox each day and they do everything they're supposed to and more. The wide mouth fills easily, cleans well and is easy for my son to drink from. He also has never had a tough time getting the cap back on securely so leftover drinks do not spill into his backpack and cubby (been there , done that with other kinds). They size is right for a full serving of calcium or an all-day drink of water but not huge. The size of the bottle also leaves enough room for food without weighing down a kids bag. The standard of 'green' and expensive has got to stop somewhere and this is a fantastic start. No designer price, a cute but not cutesy design that is best for boys who have outgrown balloon and teddy bear prints. Nice job Klean Kanteen and nice job ReusableBags!

by Lynda C - 03/2009

Perfect size. Thought it would be lined, like the SIGG bottles, but it still works fine. Overall, a good product.

We love the Kleen Kanteen water bottles we got for our three children. I think the bottles help them think more about getting enough water every day. They keep water cold and look great, too!

Wonderful bottle

by Jennifer W - 03/2009

Wonderful bottle. It's kid sized but I'm an adult and I use it all the time because it fits nicely in my purse and work bag for on-the-go hydrating. You don't need anything bigger because you'll have cups at home, work, people's houses, etc. If you're going for a bike ride or hike or something then you'll be taking a much bigger bottle anyway. So it's really the size that I'm enamored with. Pretty overpriced, though, so only 4 stars.

We have these for both our girls (3 and 5) and they are wonderful! They fit great in the lunch boxes and the sport caps are easy for them to open and close. No leaks, no funky smells. A great product.

My children LOVE their Kleen Kanteens. We are thrilled to just use, rinse and re-use the kanteen instead of water bottles. Thank you.

My daughter loved the sizing and pretty pink color

by Donna G - 01/2009

My daughter loved the sizing and pretty pink color of this bottle for daily use in her classroom. My only complaint is that it dented and the paint chipped when it fell off of her desk onto the tile floor. It's still usable, just wounded. Maybe different paints can be researched for the outside.
