How to Refill & Clean a Soy Sauce Dispenser (No-Drip Tips)

Whether you prefer a soy sauce dispenser or a classic soy sauce bottle, clean spouts and proper filling stop leaks and sticky rings. Here’s the fast way to refill, deep-clean, and keep pours drip-free.

Tools (30-second setup)

• Small funnel (or baking-paper cone)
• Soft bottle brush + straw/spout brush
• Warm water, mild soap
• Optional: baking soda or vinegar for odors

Refill without spills

1. Disassemble the cap/spout. Wipe the rim dry.
2. Use a funnel; fill to ~85–90% (overfilling causes drips).
3. Wipe the rim before closing; ensure the gasket sits flat.

Quick clean (weekly)

1. Rinse bottle with warm water; add a drop of soap and shake.
2. Brush the spout inside and out; rinse until water runs clear.
3. Air-dry upside down; reassemble when fully dry.

Deep clean (monthly or after thick sauces)

1. Soak spout/cap in warm soapy water 10–15 min.
2. Use a straw brush through the narrow channels.
3. For odors, soak with 1 tsp baking soda in warm water 10 min, then rinse.

Stop-the-drip checklist

• Spout type: choose a drip-free or press-to-pour tip for table use.
• Fill level: 85–90% to avoid pressure burps.
• Rim wipe: always clean the mouth before closing.
• Gasket: replace if warped or cracked.
