How To Clean Your Hydration Bladder and Backpack

HYDRATION BLADDER

Cleaning

  • Turn the bladder inside out by placing your hand inside, gripping the base, and pulling it back through the opening — like turning a sock inside out.
  • Once inverted, wash with warm water and mild soap or a bladder-specific cleaning tablet.
  • Scrub the interior gently with a long-handled brush to remove residue and buildup.
  • Rinse thoroughly with clean water until all soap is gone.

Drying

  • Prop the bladder opening wide using a Hydration Bladder Drying Rack (CCW-019) or clean kitchen utensil to allow airflow.
  • Hang in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
  • Allow the bladder to dry completely while inside out before storing.

Expert Tip & Storage

  • Freezer Method: After drying completely, store the bladder in the freezer between frequent uses to help prevent bacteria and mold buildup.
