Dishwasher simply creates a extremely hot environment that may damage the vacuum seal. Two simple tests: how long does water stay cool when bottle is in warm sunny environment, and/or if the exterior bottom or sides sweat (condensation is created when heat energy transfers from outside to the inside.) Fysics is Phun.
How did you wash it? If you put it in the dishwasher, you've likely ruined it. Insulated bottled or thermos are not meant to be put in the dishwasher as it breaks the insulating seal allowing moisture in between the two layers.
Is my Hydro Flask bottle dishwasher safe? All Hydro Flask powder-coated bottles are dishwasher safe. Hydro Flask Coffee Mugs are not powder coated, and they are not dishwasher safe.

Traditionally, Hydro Flask water bottles (like the yellow one in the picture below) are not dishwasher safe. After being washed in the dishwasher, the insulation function of the Hydro Flask water bottle is weakened, and the powder coating is ruined. Things become worse when the cap and straw are washed in this machine.
Cleaning Instructions
We suggest using YETI Cleaning Tablets however all Rambler® Drinkware products are dishwasher safe. If you're going the dishwasher route, just make sure everything goes where it should to get them as clean as possible.
Putting your bottle through the dishwasher will affect the colour and the beautiful painted designs on the outside of your bottle. While lids may occasionally be put through the dishwasher it is important to note that after a few washes it will start to disintegrate the silicone seals on the inside.
Using warm water and a mild washing-up liquid, wash both the interior and exterior of your flask. You might be able to use a soft cloth or sponge. However, if the neck is too narrow to get your hand in, you'll need to use a soft-bristled bottle brush or toothbrush.
Never put your Iron Flask in the dishwasher; high temperatures and the wash process can affect the powder-coated finish on your bottle. Instead, use warm soapy water to wash your Iron Flask inside and out. We recommend using a designated bottle brush to gently scrub and sanitize the inside of your bottle.
You may put your glass bottles in the dishwasher or hand wash them with hot water and dish soap. If your glass water bottle has a lid with a rubber or silicone gasket, or a silicone wrap, we recommend hand washing that part to maintain the integrity of the material.
The dishwasher safety of thermoses varies based on their construction. While the outer body and cap are safe for dishwasher cleaning, the inner vacuum flash should be hand-washed to preserve insulation, prevent damage, and keep them in tip-top shape for years, keeping drinks at their perfect temperature.
However, the longer the liquor remains in the flask, the more likely it is to pick up unpleasant metallic flavors. For maximum freshness, finish off or change out the contents of your flask within a few days, or a week at the most.
