    What Else

    —  Recycle your cap. We will provide a new cap.

    —  We only refill your bottles for you. We can not clean and resell the bottles. Recycle glass at home as you would any other bottle.

    Why Cleanliness Matters

    Water

    Fantastic for cleaning. Once clean, though, remaining water can lead to bacteria growth after your refill. Water has to be entirely absent from the bottle prior to refill. Be sure your bottle is dry, dry, Mojave desert dry. We can’t refill (or credit) bottles with any moisture.

    All Natural Products

    Our products are all Natural which means they have no preservatives or additives. This makes them incredibly healthy, and vulnerable to moisture. You can easily avoid this concern by following the cleaning instructions on the other side.

    Reduce Resource Use

    Glass is made from melted sand which requires lots of movement of materials. Even after a bottle is made, it travels from the manufacturer to a distributor to a printer (in our case) and then to our store. All that travel is dependent on refined oil.

    You can make a difference, and SAVE MONEY, when you wash, dry and reuse your bottles.
