How to Keep Your Shaker Bottles Spotlessly Clean (Without Any Fuss)


Keep your PROMiXX shaker bottle fresh with these quick, hassle-free tips. Discover simple steps to preserve taste and prolong its life.

Read time: 10 minutes

A well-loved shaker bottle is often a tell-tale sign of someone who prioritizes health, fitness, or simply enjoys a good, mixed beverage on-the-go. But it’s so important to clean it regularly. In this detailed guide, you’ll learn why cleaning your shaker matters, how often to clean it, and the simple steps to keep your PROMiXX shakers looking as good as new.

Why Regular Cleaning Is a Must

Avoid Mold and Germs

If left unchecked, protein shakes and pre-workout mixtures can leave behind stubborn residues that quickly turn into breeding grounds for bacteria and mold. And over time, if completely unwashed, this can lead to unpleasant odors and worse, potentially affect your health.

Preserve Taste and Freshness

The last thing you want is yesterday’s chocolate-flavored residue ruining this morning’s fruity shake. By regularly rinsing and washing your shaker, you keep flavors crisp and ensure every beverage tastes exactly how it’s meant to.

Prolong the Life of Your Bottle

High-quality materials deserve high-quality care. A routine cleaning ritual prevents buildup that could discolor or degrade your bottle over time, ensuring you get the maximum lifespan out of your investment.

Maintain Hygiene On-the-Go

If you’re rushing from the gym to the office (or anywhere else), a quick rinse can make the difference between a clean, odor-free shaker and a stale, smelly one. Regular upkeep means you’ll always have a fresh, ready-to-go bottle at your side.

Why PROMiXX Shakers Are So Easy to Clean

At PROMiXX, we pride ourselves on designing shakers that support an active, busy lifestyle. Instead of worrying about tough stains and lingering odors, you can focus on what matters most: your workout, your nutrition, and your goals.

Made from ECOZEN Plastic

Our ECOZEN plastic is not your average plastic. It’s durable, BPA-free, and specifically engineered to be odor and stain resistant. So if you’re mixing up a bright green powdered concoction or a thick chocolate protein shake, you can rest easy knowing your shaker won’t hold onto unwanted colors or smells.

Stainless Steel Options

Many of our shakers also come in sleek stainless steel, offering the same benefits as ECOZEN. Stainless steel is corrosion resistant, easy to clean, and adds an extra layer of durability. Plus, it looks stylish - if looks matter to you as much as performance.

Built for Convenience

Every element of a PROMiXX shaker is designed with ease-of-use in mind. Electric models feature patented X-Blade technology, which forms a powerful vortex that can double as a self-cleaning mechanism. Classic shakers come with snap-fit agitators, which not only help blend your drinks but also help dislodge stubborn bits when you shake in soapy water.

How to Clean Your PROMiXX Shakers

Now, let’s walk through the simple cleaning steps for two main types of PROMiXX shakers: electric and classic.

Electric Shaker Bottles

When it comes to convenience, electric shakers might just be the ultimate game-changer. Our PROMiXX electric models harness motorized vortex technology to whip up the perfect shake, minus the lumps. Even better, that same vortex can be used to help clean your bottle!

Step-by-Step Guide

Rinse Immediately After Use (If Possible)

  • Whenever you finish your drink, do a quick rinse to remove most of the leftover liquid. This takes only a few seconds but can save you effort later, preventing residue from drying or hardening inside the bottle.

Add Soap and Water

  • Pour a small splash of water into the shaker, just enough to swirl around.
  • Add a drop or two of dish soap. (A little goes a long way!)

Turn On the Motor

  • Secure the lid carefully, then switch on the motor.
  • Watch as the vortex does its magic, swirling soapy water throughout every nook and cranny. This step helps dislodge any leftover particles clinging to the sides or bottom.

Empty and Rinse

  • Once you’re satisfied the interior is clean, pour out the soapy water.
  • Rinse thoroughly with clean water to wash away any soap residue.
  • If needed, repeat the process for especially stubborn stains.

Deep Clean (Occasional or As Needed)

  • Disconnect the Motor Base: Make sure the motor base stays dry; do not submerge it. Use a damp cloth or antibacterial wipe to clean its exterior.
  • Clean the X-Blade: Be careful with the soft blade—no harsh scrubbing or bending, as it’s designed to be gentle yet effective.

Top Tip: Always ensure the electric base and USB charging port remains dry. Water and electronics don’t mix, so handle this part with care.

Classic Shaker Bottles

PROMiXX classic shakers - like our PURSUIT ECOZEN or FORM hybrid water bottles - are perfect for those who prefer manual mixing. They’re also incredibly easy to clean.

Step-by-Step Guide:

Rinse After Use

  • Just like with electric shakers, it’s best to rinse out any leftover drink immediately to prevent sticky buildup.

Add Dish Soap and Warm Water

  • Put a drop of dish soap directly into your empty shaker.
  • Add enough warm water (never hot or boiling water) to create a good lather once you start shaking.

Seal and Shake

  • Close the lid tightly to prevent leaks.
  • Shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds. The snap-fit agitator inside helps break up any residual powder, ensuring every inch of your bottle gets soapy.

Rinse Thoroughly

  • Empty the soapy mixture.
  • Fill the bottle with clean water and shake again to rinse away any soap residue.

Deep Clean (If Needed)

  • Separate Components: Remove the snap-fit agitator and lid. Wash these by hand in warm soapy water.
  • Give It a Quick Scrub: Sometimes, using a gentle bottle brush or sponge around the lid’s grooves or on the agitator can help remove hidden buildup.
  • Air Dry Thoroughly: After rinsing, leave all parts separated and let them air dry before reassembling.

Additional Tips for a Super-Clean Bottle

Daily Rinses = Less Deep Cleaning

A quick rinse after each use helps prevent protein or supplement residue from sticking. This simple habit can go a long way toward keeping your shaker in top shape.

Soak for Stubborn Odors

If you somehow forget to rinse your shaker for a while (it happens to the best of us), try soaking the bottle in warm water and dish soap for 10–15 minutes.

Mind the Temperature

Avoid using boiling water, especially when cleaning electric components or ECOZEN plastic. Very high temperatures can damage the bottle or warp certain parts.

Dishwasher Safety

While PURSUIT ECOZEN and FORM are technically dishwasher safe, we recommend the manual washing steps above to protect your bottle from potential damage in high-heat or crowded dishwasher conditions. This gentle approach prolongs the life of your shaker.

Handle Electric Parts with Care

The motor base on electric shakers should never be submerged. A damp cloth or mild antibacterial wipe is enough to clean its exterior.

Don’t Forget to Dry

After washing, leave the lid off and let the bottle air dry completely. Good airflow ensures any leftover droplets evaporate.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I clean my shaker bottle?

Ideally, rinse your shaker immediately after each use and do a thorough cleaning once a day (or at least a couple of times a week) if you’re using it frequently.

Can I use stronger cleaning agents?

For normal day-to-day cleaning, mild dish soap is enough. Avoid harsh chemicals like bleach that can damage materials and leave behind strong smells.

Is it safe to put my PROMiXX electric shaker in the dishwasher?

No. The motorized base is not dishwasher safe, as water and electronics don’t mix. The bottle part may be dishwasher safe depending on the specific model (like PURSUIT ECOZEN or FORM), but we strongly recommend hand-washing for the best and safest results.

Wrap-Up: A Quick and Clean Conclusion

Taking good care of your shaker bottle doesn’t have to be complicated or time-consuming. With PROMiXX’s carefully chosen materials - like ECOZEN plastic and stainless steel - plus smart design features like vortex technology and snap-fit agitators, the cleaning process can be as simple as adding soap, water, and a good shake (or swirl).

By regularly rinsing and properly washing your shaker, you ensure every sip is fresh. So, invest just a few moments to rinse and wash your bottle after each use, and you’ll be rewarded with a shaker that looks and feels brand new for a long time to come.
