Popular types of stainless steel bottles 

In regards to size, water bottles are divided into 4 types, small, medium, big and oversized. Among them, small types have capacity below 1 liter, those with capacity of 1-1.6 liters belong to medium, 1.8-3.2 liters are big and 4-10 liters make the oversized type, with the latest normally used to keep beverages for parties. 

Another classification of water bottles is based on the purpose of usage. For example, portable thermos bottles or travel mugs are often in small or medium size and designed with a bracket or carrier, a small mouth to drink directly, giving the most convenience as we move. We can find the bigger ones used to contain beer, juice, coffee, tea and wine in parties. Those are used at one fixed place.

In terms of function, we have tea bottles, coffee bottles, air pots and lunch boxes. Tea pots and coffee pots may look similar to each other. But tea bottles are normally equipped with a strainer to keep tea leaves. 

The airpot differs from the others in the way of draining out water by pumping it from the inside bottle. The lunch box is used to keep food warm, so it has layers or trays to contain 4 or 5 types of food. 

Stainless steel is an ideal material for making food and beverage containers. It is durable against the violence and heat. However, a steel thermos bottle can still be scratched or deformed, which leads to the poor appearance and lower performance of the bottle. 

Dealing with scratches and dents 

A stainless steel thermos bottle can last for three or four years. Even if you give it tender care, it will still get scratches or dents. There is a powder coating layer applied on the surface of the bottle for scratch resistance. But it can only prevent external impact in a certain time. So the first thing is to handle our bottles with care and avoid falls. 

Next, we should keep the steel thermos bottle in a cloth bag designed for a travel mug and lunch box, while refrain from moving around those thermos bottles like airpots.

There are several ways to deal with a deep scratch. 

  • Use sandpaper, wet it with water and make sure that it is not dry during the cleaning process. 
  • Add a few drops of water to the affected part to keep it wet. 
  • With slight pressure, move the sandpaper back and forth, you can sand the deep scratch. 
  • After removing the scratch, there is a tough surface left. 
  • When the chosen part is free from scratches, we need to apply the grit for buffing the spot. It helps in restoring the look of your stainless steel thermos bottle. 

Removing minor scratches 

  • Dampen a piece of cloth, choose a liquid non-abrasive cleaner, and rub it firmly. 
  • Use a clean cloth to remove the cleanser. 
  • When no high quality cleanser is available, toothpaste could be used to treat the scratches.

Cleaning the inner side 

In some cases, we get metal taste while drinking water from stainless steel thermos bottles. In order to remove it, we can apply a solution of soap, water, and baking soda. The process is applicable for any metal drinkware.
