Do not put the bottle in the microwave or freezer, and do not expose it to flames or any other heat sources.
Why does my Aluminum Water Bottle Smell? There are many reasons why your aluminum water bottle may have an off-putting odor. For one, the liquid that you placed in the bottle may have a smell of its own: like coffee, teas, and fruit juices. These beverages contribute to the smell of your bottle. However, there are other reasons for a smell in your aluminum bottle as well, one of them being mold, a musty odor indicates the presence of mold and mildew in your bottle, particularly if you have a habit of storing your bottle while it’s still moist. Look around the cap and silicone areas of the bottle for any black, brown, or green spots that will indicate mold. To remove these smells, simply wash your aluminum bottle using a neutral-scented soap, water, and add some baking soda. For mold and bacteria, you may want to pour hot water to kill off any remaining organisms from your water bottle.

WASH CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Is rust in a water bottle bad? In fact, the limits set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for iron in drinking water are based on aesthetics (taste, odor, color), not safety concerns. The rust itself will not harm you. But the presence of rust indicates that the container may not have been stored in a sanitary condition.
Stainless Steel can rust if it encounters acids, bleach based solvents or the dishwasher. It can also accumulate mineral deposits from coming into contact with local tap water or metals that appear as rust spotting. Follow below method to remove rust of a surface:-
1. Mix 2-3 Tablespoons baking soda with a small amount of warm water to form a paste. The paste is a nonabrasive scrub and deodorizer.
2. Whip out your handy Bottle Brush! Dip the bristles into your baking soda paste and apply to the affected area.
3. For extra tough spots, add a splash of white distilled vinegar to the baking soda paste and continue to work into affected areas.
4. If any debris remains, reapply your Bottle Brush.
5. Rinse the flask with warm water. Then wash with regular dish detergent.
6. Always ensure all portions of the flask are thoroughly dried before storing and/or store with the cap ajar.
