All Klean Kanteen products are made from 18/8 food-grade stainless steel which is safe, durable and BPA-free. The food-grade stainless steel in a Klean Kanteen is highly rust resistant. If your bottle appears to have rusted, it's probably just a mark left behind from the electropolishing process, which smooths the surface of the metal and makes it shiny. Sometimes electrolytes left on the surface turn a rust color, but it's harmless.
To remove residue, soak your Kanteen overnight with hot water and baking soda or white vinegar. Follow the soak with a good scrub using a bottle brush or a scouring pad, combined with a wooden spoon or other kitchen utensil for leverage. Please give this suggestion a shot and let us know how the cleaning goes. Remember, scrubbing is key. For more information, visit our Care & Use page here http://www.kleankanteen.com/pages/care-use.
