How to Clean a Boston Cocktail Shaker

Before Cleaning

1. Rinse immediately after use to prevent dried-on residue.

2. Add a small amount of mild detergent and clean the inside with a sponge or soft cloth. Avoid steel wool or abrasive brushes, which can scratch the stainless steel.

3. For odors or stubborn stains, soak in warm water with baking soda for about 10 minutes before washing.

During Cleaning

Rinse thoroughly with warm water to remove any leftover liquid, juice, or syrup.

After Cleaning

Place the shaker upright on a drying rack to air dry and avoid water spots. Alternatively, use a clean cotton cloth to wipe it dry and maintain its shine.

Maintenance Tips

1. Long exposure to acidic liquids (like lemon or orange juice) without prompt cleaning may cause corrosion.

2. For heavy bar use, disinfect weekly with hot water or a professional sanitizer.

3. Glossy stainless steel Boston shakers are dishwasher safe. However, for copper-plated or painted models, hand washing is recommended to protect the finish.

Pro Tip (For B2B Buyers)

Bars, restaurants, and wholesalers should opt for 304 food-grade stainless steel Boston shakers (such as those supplied by E-bon). They are corrosion-resistant, easy to clean, and durable—perfect for frequent commercial use.
