Using this water bottle is super easy. First, just flip open the top. Then, bite gently on the valve and start sipping. When you're done, close it up to prevent leaks. For young kids, make sure they use it under adult supervision. To keep it clean, you can put most parts in the dishwasher. But check every now and then for any signs of wear and tear. If you notice anything wrong, it might be time to replace some parts. And always keep it away from extreme heat or sharp objects to avoid damage.
