Buy reusable water bottles
Drinking enough water is important for your energy level and for your health. To get through the day somewhat clear and alert, it is therefore a must to have a regular sip of water. With a good water bottle in your bag, it is a lot easier to get the desired amount of water. A good water bottle is therefore made of a material that is not harmful to health, so no plastic but choose a material that stays clean well, such as stainless steel. In addition, the water bottle should be well insulated so that the drink you bring stays nice and fresh all day, whether it is freezing outside or there is a heat wave. It is also nice for the environment if it is a durable water bottle that can last a long time and the water bottle must be user-friendly. It's no good if that beautiful water bottle stays in the cupboard because it doesn't drink well, leaks or smells.
Stainless steel thermos bottles
With these wishes in mind, we went to the design table to design our own Heinen Delfts Blauw water bottles. In doing so, we ourselves are our very first customers, because we too like to use a good water bottle to get through our workday. And on the weekends while working out or on a day out. We knew right away that our water bottles had to be thermo water bottles. A water bottle that keeps fresh tap water cold for up to 24 hours and hot drinks, such as tea or broth, hot for up to 12 hours. Then you automatically end up with a thermos made with a double-walled stainless steel wall. The air between the two walls ensures that the drink in the water bottle stays hot or cold longer. The material also keeps your drinks fresh. In fact, stainless steel is a non-toxic material, so it does not contain harmful chemicals such as BPA, phthalates or lead. Therefore, the material is a safe choice for storing beverages. So thanks to the thermo function of these water bottles, they are ideal for taking to work, as well as for a day out in nature or the city, or while exercising.

The right size water bottle
Once the right water bottle material is chosen, we look at the functionality of the product. Most people choose a water bottle because they are on the go and always want to have fresh drinks with them. Or they take a pick-me-up such as a soup, hot tea or coffee. Water bottles are also widely used as reminders to drink more water. Such a water bottle is then used to keep track of how many liters of water a person has drunk that day. So it is important to also think carefully about the contents of a water bottle. We chose a water bottle with a capacity of half a liter. In our own experience, this is a fine capacity size to stick to. It provides enough drink on the go and the water bottle can be refilled between uses. At the same time, it keeps the water bottle nice and compact and not too heavy. With this size, the water bottle easily fits into most handbags or backpacks, or it dangles nicely from the hand, thanks to the attached rubber loop. In short, not too heavy, nice size to hold, easy to carry in a bag and enough content to provide you with drinks on the go.
Is a water bottle dishwasher safe?
That was a question one of our colleagues immediately asked. She has a busy family and doesn't have time to wash things by hand. The answer is: yes, you can, only this may cause the decoration on the outside to fade eventually. Water bottles that are made entirely of stainless steel can go in the dishwasher just fine. Their functionality does not diminish as a result. This is a different story for the decoration on the water bottle. Because the decoration is printed on the outside of the water bottle, it is less resistant to the sometimes aggressive programs of a dishwasher. So our advice is to always clean the water bottles by hand, which is basically a snap. This way the bottle will stay beautiful on the outside longer. Always make sure to dry the water bottle thoroughly on the inside. This can be done with a thin, absorbent cloth or by airing the bottle with the cap off. This prevents musty odors that can develop over time when drops of moisture remain in the bottle when it is not used for a while. If you keep your stainless steel water bottle properly clean, it can be used for a lifetime without the water developing a smell or taste.

cleaning tips
How to keep your water bottle clean
1. Clean the water bottle with warm water and a little fairy liquid. First rinse the water bottle after use and then fill it with hot water and a drop of dish soap. Screw the cap on tightly and shake it. Rinse again to avoid soap residue. Our water bottles have an opening large enough to clean the bottle with a bottle brush if necessary. Don't forget to clean the outside and cap as well. When you're done, turn the water bottle upside down and a little tilted to dry, with the cap next to it. Or twist a thin, well-absorbent cloth into the bottle until you have thoroughly rubbed all the corners dry. If you want to make sure the water bottle dries well, you can also put it on the heater without the cap on for a while.
2. If you want to give your water bottle a good cleaning, or you're on vacation and don't have dishwashing liquid handy, you can also use special tablets to clean your water bottle. Leave the tablet in your water bottle in hot water for fifteen minutes, rinse it out and your water bottle is ready to use again. You can also use special denture cleaners for this, but those tablets have to soak in the bottle a lot longer to properly clean the water bottle.
3. The holy grail in cleaning land: baking soda. For a stainless steel water bottle, you can also use baking soda. If your water bottle has developed an unpleasant odor or taste, you can give it a good cleaning with baking soda. Put a teaspoon of baking soda in the water bottle, pour in hot water and leave the bottle for a few hours. With no cap on it! Then pour out the water with the baking soda, rinse the water bottle thoroughly again, and the bottle is ready to use.
4. While water bottles are made for holding water, they are less fond of remaining drops of moisture. Especially if you don't use your water bottle every day! So make sure that when you put your water bottle in the cupboard, that you take off the cap. If there is any residual water left in the bottle it can cause bacteria and mold, giving you nasty odors. So always store without the cap so that even the last of the moisture evaporates from the water bottle.

Colorful water bottles for young and old
So the water bottles are made of a material that will last a lifetime. They have a nice size, lie well in the hand and have sufficient capacity. Then it was time to think about the look of the water bottle. We wanted to make water bottles that make you happy. Cozy, colorful prints for young and old. Just a water bottle you like to take to the office, have in the car or put in a school bag. To stay true to our Delft blue DNA, of course we have Delft blue details on our water bottles. For example, we chose our well-known Forest Bird decoration for one of our water bottles. On a tree branch rest several colorful woodland birds that you find everywhere in Dutch forests, gardens or meadows. The cozy twitterers are delightfully squabbling among the Delft blue flowers. A delightful, truly Dutch water bottle with birds. Our other water bottle with birds does not have Delft blue details. This water bottle has a trendy pink color and is decorated all around with blossoms in full bloom. Among the branches you will also find all kinds of small birds. Our other two water bottles really have a thoroughly Dutch touch, as these water bottles are completely in Delft blue. For the one water bottle we chose a hip city print of a row of canal houses. The houses run around the water bottle and each house has its own special, historic facade such as a stepped gable or a raised neck gable. The other water bottle has a Delft blue floral print that runs completely around the water bottle. A classic and timeless design. Each water bottle also has a rubber loop around the neck to hold the bottle. For these rubber cords, we chose contrasting, cheerful colors that add a little extra energy to the design of the water bottle. In short, water bottles that make you happy and can be seen!
