At agood company, we design products that are made to last, but like all good things, they need a bit of care along the way. Taking a few simple steps to look after your agood essentials not only helps extend their life, but also plays a small part in protecting the planet. Because when we look after the things we already own, we consume less, waste less, and start shifting away from the throwaway culture we are all trying to leave behind.
So whether you’ve got one of our plant-based phone cases, a hybrid bottle, or a screen protector clinging on through every adventure, here’s how to keep them clean, cared for, and ready to go the distance.
Phone cases - a clean case is a happy case
Let’s kick things off with the crowd favourites - our plant-based and clear phone cases. They are built to last, feel great in your hand, and do their bit for the planet while they are at it. But even the most low-maintenance case needs a little love now and then. A quick clean here and there goes a long way in keeping it fresh, functional, and looking its best.
How to clean your phone case
Whether you’ve got the plant-based version or the clear one, the care routine is the same:
- Gently remove the case from your phone.
- Wash it with warm water and a mild, eco-friendly soap.
- Use a soft cloth or your fingers to gently scrub away dirt, dust, or pocket lint.
- Rinse and pat dry with a clean towel.
This keeps your case looking fresh, and also helps prevent any build-up of debris that could scratch your phone or attract bacteria.
What makes our clear case special?
Our clear phone case is built with anti-yellowing properties, which means it’s designed to resist that dreaded yellow tint that often comes with time. Still, a quick clean now and then will help it keep its clarity for longer.
Cracked screen? We’ve got a fix.
If your phone takes a tumble and needs more than just a wipe-down, we have teamed up with Gofixit, your go-to for sustainable phone repairs. Rather than replacing your whole device, Gofixit helps extend the life of your tech through affordable, expert fixes. Less waste, more life.
End of life - the agood loop™
What happens when your sustainable agood case is finally ready to retire?
We have thought of that too. Through our circular system, the agood loop™, you can send your old case back to us, and we will grind it down and reuse the material in future products. No landfill, no problem.
Better yet, when you return your case, you will get a little reward towards your next purchase. Because doing good should feel good, too.
Screen protectors - keep it clean, keep it clear
Screen protectors are your phone’s unsung hero, quietly shielding your screen from scratches, drops, and fingerprints. And while they are built to endure, a little routine care can help them perform at their best.
How to care for your screen protector
- Wipe it regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth (microfiber is best).
- Avoid using harsh cleaning sprays or chemicals - they can degrade the surface.
- Keep it away from excessive heat or moisture.
- Clean off smudges with a slightly damp cloth if needed.
If your screen protector ever cracks or lifts, don’t wait too long to replace it. It’s the front line of defense for your device.
If you are not sure how to apply agood screen protector, our guide (with video!) walks you through every step, so you can skip the bubbles and get it just right.
Thermal bottles & hybrid bottles - use, reuse, repeat
Our thermal bottles and 2-in-1 hybrid bottles are made to be your forever companion, whether you are commuting, hiking, or just staying hydrated at your desk.
Caring for your agood bottle
Here is the good news - these bottles don’t need much. Just:
- Rinse them daily if you are using them often.
- Wash with warm water and mild soap regularly.
- Use a bottle brush for deeper cleans, especially if you are adding things like lemon or smoothies.
- Let them air dry completely before putting the lid back on.
What about the lid?
Well, even the smallest part plays a big role. The hybrid bottle lid is lightweight and functional, but it’s not insulated. So if you're sipping hot drinks, we recommend switching to the 380ml tumbler cup as it’s designed to handle the heat.
Now, while our thermal bottle, tumbler, and hybrid bottle are built to last basically forever, if something does happen and they are no longer usable, just pop them into your metal recycling bin.
As for the tumbler lid, it's made from biobased PP (polypropylene). If it gets damaged, you’ve got two options:
- Recycle it in your local plastic recycling bin, or
- Send it back to us through the agood loop™, and we’ll turn it into something fresh and useful.
You can order a replacement lid from our website - we offer them separately, so you don’t need to replace the whole tumbler (or the bottle). It’s all part of keeping good materials in circulation, and waste out of the equation.
End-of-life doesn’t mean end-of-use
We design every product with circularity in mind. So when your agood product has reached the end of its life, we offer options, not landfill.
- Phone cases can be returned and reprocessed through agood loop™.
- Our bottles are made from recycled stainless steel, so if they ever reach the end of their life (which won’t be anytime soon), just pop them into your metal recycling bin - and they’ll be ready to start a whole new chapter.
- Tumbler lids follow the same circular route as bottle lids - reuse, recycle, return.
It’s about making sustainability simple and actionable, and giving you the tools to do good without needing to overthink it.
Why it all matters?
It’s easy to think of product care as one of those things we should do, but don’t always feel like doing. Still, every time we take a moment to look after the things we already own, we are choosing a better kind of future, one that values quality over quick fixes, and intention over impulse.
Caring is part of the culture we are building at agood company. It’s embedded in how we design, how we source, and how we close the loop on waste. And when you take those small steps - giving your case a wash, sending back a lid, keeping your screen protector clean, you are part of that movement, too.
So yes, it’s "just" cleaning a bottle or wiping a screen. But it's also much more. It's a signal that you are choosing to live and consume a little differently.
