How To Clean ice bath using eco-friendly method

Fresh Start – Empty and Refill

Bid adieu to the melted ice and give your ice bath a quick emptying. Start anew with fresh, warm water (tap water will do).

Vinegar Splash – The Cleaning Elixir

Add a splash of white vinegar to the water. Vinegar, the unsung hero of cleanliness, fights off any unwanted ‘ick’ factors. Let this mixture be your ice bath’s secret weapon.

Swirl and Soak – A Vinegar Bath

Give the water and vinegar mix a gentle swirl, ensuring the vinegar’s reach is thorough. Let it soak and work its magic for a little while.

Wipe Time – Spa Day for Your Ice Bath

Take a clean cloth or sponge and give your ice bath container a good wipe down. Pay extra attention to any nooks and crannies where the ‘funk’ might hide.

Rinse and Fill – Freshness Reloaded

Rinse the container thoroughly with clean water. Refill it with fresh, ice-cold water – now you’re ready to dive back into chilling bliss!

Regular cleaning keeps the ice bath in top shape. After each use, rinse it and give it a quick wipe to prevent any build-up.

For stubborn spots or if your ice bath needs some extra love, a gentle scrub with a mixture of vinegar and water can work wonders. We favor using a soft bristle toothbrush.
