Copper Water Bottle 950ml - Matt Flower of Life

Pure Handmade Indian Copper 

The bottles are made of pure copper (99.6%). The outer layer is lightly lacquered and the cap of the bottles contains a rubber edge so that the bottle does not leak (0.4%). The inside is 100% copper. The bottles can also have irregularities, which is part of the natural properties of copper. 

Copper discolors over time as a result of oxidation. The material can also show 'stains'. These are both natural properties of copper and have no negative effect on drinking from a copper bottle or cup. This will mainly take place on the inside. The discolorations can occur as dark dots/smudges on the inside. In addition, it can become green(ish). 

Maintenance instructions: 

Do not wash in the dishwasher. Clean with natural soap, soft sponge and room temperature water. To make the copper shine, use lemon wedges or copper polish. Do not expose to direct sunlight.
