FAQ

The difference between the Flip-It Bottle Emptying Kit’s are their colors, number of parts and assortment of sizes.

The Adapters are color coded by size. All adapters fit all stands and are available here on Flipitcap.com in additional sets of 4 on the shopping page. Mix and match colors to customize your set of Flip-Its!

Important note about Dish Soap:

Due to the consistency of dish soap, it is important to only use the Flip-It to help get that last little bit out.

If treated properly, you can expect your gaskets to last for a long time. They are washable and re-usable many times over.

Gaskets prevent leaks! Always make sure to use a gasket inside each Flip-It!® part.

When your bottle is empty, disassemble the Flip-It!® and wash the various components either by hand (suggested) or in the dishwasher (all parts have tested top-shelf dishwasher safe), then reuse the Flip-It!® on another bottle.

Give the Flip-It!® valve tip a gentle tug to remove it completely from the Dispensing Stand, so you can clean it thoroughly.

Yes. Flip-It!® is designed for standard threaded bottles only. It will not work on “snap cap” bottles. Flip-It!® fits the majority of bottles worldwide, though occasionally a company will create a unique size or thread for their bottles which won’t work with Flip-It!®. Not for use on non-squeezable bottles.

In order for plastics to be recycled, they need to be thoroughly cleaned. By completely emptying your bottles of residual product, you are putting cleaner bottles into the recycling stream, saving water and energy which would otherwise be required to get those bottles clean. On behalf of the one BILLION people on this planet who don’t have access to clean water, let’s not waste ours washing out bottles.

For the price of a cup of coffee in the airport (gone in a few minutes) a set of Flip-It® will last for years, saving you time and money on things you’ve already purchased. Flip-It!® puts that money back in your pocket, instead of down the drain or in the trash.

• If your bottle thread is the size of a nickel, purchase our Extra Small Green Adapters
• If your bottle thread is the size of a penny, purchase our XX Small Blue Adapters
• For super-thick liquids, run warm water over the bottom of the bottle to allow the product to move down to the Flip-It!®
• Remove the valve tip to balance one bottle into another to gravity transfer. No more funnels!

Did you know?

The patented valve tip provides a fail safe solution! If the valve is open, the bottle will NOT stand properly (and usually fall over!), your clue that the valve is not closed.
