Step
Method 1 of 4: Using Rubber Bands
Step 1. Prepare the rubber band
There may be rubber bands lying around in your house. Otherwise, buy a pack of rubber bands at the convenience store.
Step 2. Wrap a rubber band around the bottle cap
Wrap the rubber band tightly around the water bottle cap. The rubber band will increase your grip on the bottle.
Step 3. Wrap several times
Make sure the rubber band is fully wrapped around the bottle cap tightly. The length of the rubber band bandage should be the same distance.
Step 4. Turn counterclockwise
Apply pressure to unseal your bottle cap.
Step 5. Remove the bottle cap
Once the seal is open, the bottle cap should come off easily. Now, it's time to enjoy your drink.
Method 2 of 4: Loosen the Bottle Cap
Step 1. Use hot water
Hot water has proven to be effective in loosening various types of lids. However, be careful when heating and using water to open bottle caps.
- Use a towel if the bottle cap is too hot to grip.
- Do not boil the water until it is too hot and water the bottle cap too long. Bottle caps can melt and break.
Step 2. Snap on the bottle cap
Hold the water bottle firmly and hit the bottle cap against a hard surface. You can hit the bottle cap without worrying about the bottle exploding. However, a cheap bottle can explode easily.
Step 3. Ask a friend for help
Try asking a friend or neighbor to loosen the bottle cap for you. It might hurt your self-esteem a bit if the bottle cap is successfully opened, but at least your problem is resolved.
Method 3 of 4: Unsealing
Step 1. Find the bottle cap seal
The bottle seal should be located at the bottom of the plastic bottle cap. This seal is a line with holes.
Step 2. Find a sharp object
Scissors are the best choice because they are safe and easy to use, but you can also use a steak knife. Be careful when using sharp objects.
Step 3. Start by cutting the seal
Start by slashing back and forth using the knife on the bottle cap seal. Keep going until you break the seal.
Step 4. Try using your hands
Once the seal is partially open, the bottle cap should be easy to open by hand. Twist the bottle cap firmly counterclockwise.
Step 5. Cut off the remaining bottle cap seal
If you can't twist the bottle cap by hand, continue to cut the seal with a knife. Cut the entire seal before opening the bottle cap by hand.
Step 6. Remove the bottle cap
Once the seal is completely broken, the bottle cap should be easy to open.
Method 4 of 4: Using the Traditional Way
Step 1. Take a water bottle
Regardless of the brand, just choose a bottle with an easy-to-open lid.
Step 2. Position the bottle
Hold the bottle with your left hand, or right hand if you are left-handed. Hold tight.
Step 3. Hold the bottle cap with the other hand
Also hold tightly.
If the end of the bottle cap is too sharp, use a shirt to add friction to the bottle cap. However, only certain clothes can be worn
Step 4. Twist the bottle cap counterclockwise
Apply force to twist the bottle cap until it is loose. Make sure only the bottle cap is gripped tightly, and not the water bottle.
Be careful with the position of your water bottle. Do not let bottled water spill on the floor
Step 5. Open the water bottle cap
After opening the seal, remove the bottle cap using your finger.
Step 6. Enjoy your drink
Your water bottle should be open.
