How to Clean a Water Bottle Properly?

 

While keeping a reusable water bottle close at hand during work and at the gym is an easy way to stay hydrated, if you fail to clean your water bottle, it could expose you to germs. The inside of a bottle is just the sort of damp, dark environment where bacteria love to grow, making it a perfect breeding ground for mold to proliferate.

 

Over time, reusable water bottles occasionally develop unpleasant odors and/or tastes. This typically occurs when bottles are stored incorrectly or cleaned infrequently.

 

In a 2022 study, when researchers tested water bottles for bacteria, they found that the average reusable water bottle contained 40,000 times more bacteria than a toilet seat.

 

Whether it is a plastic water bottle, a stainless steel water bottle, or a glass water bottle, there will be dirt left after you get the product. At this time, a comprehensive cleaning is essential. Usually, people may directly use hot water + sponge to clean it, but this is wrong. Next, RED EARTH® will tell you how to clean it thoroughly.

 

Cleaning

If your water bottle develops a funky taste or odor, try the following procedure:

 

Step 1

Put a teaspoon of bleach and a teaspoon of baking soda in the bottle and fill it with water.

Let the bottle sit overnight.(This is important)

 

Step 2

Rinse out the bottle completely the next day (or run it through the dishwasher).

Let the bottle air dry completely.

 

Step 3

When cleaning hydration reservoirs, rinse them thoroughly and let them completely air dry before using them again. Do not place in your dishwasher.

 

 

Tip: How Often to Clean a Water Bottle?

If you can see a slimy gloss or smell a bad odor, your water bottle needs cleaning ASAP. The ideal frequency to wash your water bottle is daily if you use it regularly, and give it a deep cleaning once a week. If you're sick, or you've left the water bottle on the floor in a hot, sweat-filled gym or outside, clean it even more frequently.
