Maintaining your IMS is straightforward. Start by removing the ICEPLATE and detaching the drinking tube for separate dishwasher cleaning – we'll delve deeper into this in the following FAQs. With the ICEPLATE and drinking tube removed, our ICEPLATE MOLLE Sleeves can simply be placed in the washing machine. For extended durability, we advise washing on a cold setting and air-drying in sunlight. If you prefer a manual cleaning method, you can also handwash your IMS. Submerge it in a tub filled with warm, soapy water and gently scrub its surface using a soft, non-abrasive sponge. Don't forget to rinse the bite valve thoroughly before your next use.
