Hydro Flask bottles use different lids. In its August 28, 2024 care article, the maker describes removing the red gasket from the Flex Straw Cap. The accompanying photograph shows a different Hydro Flask lid, not the precise straw-cap assembly.

0 / 6 done

Confirm that the lid is a Hydro Flask Flex Straw Cap and remove it from the bottle. Do not assume another lid disassembles the same way.
Open the sip nozzle and carefully pull the straw away from the red seal.
Pull the small tab to remove the red seal from the cap. Keep the parts together so they cannot be lost.
Wash the straw, seal and cap in warm soapy water, then rinse well. Hydro Flask also allows the dishwasher's top rack for these parts.
Use a straw brush or small detail brush to clean the inside and crevices. Let every part dry completely.
Press the red seal back into the cap, then hold the straw by its flat end and push it securely into the seal. Do not use the Flex Straw Cap with hot liquids.
