Be real with me. When was the last time you cleaned the reusable water bottles in your household?
OK, be real with me. When was the last time you cleaned thein your household? No, I don’t mean just pouring out the water, giving it a quick rinse, and setting it down on the counter for tomorrow. I mean, soap and water, scrubbing, the whole nine yards.
I had justified it saying, “Oh, it’s just water I put in there. Rinsing out is enough.” But when I’ve actually gone in to clean the suckers, it’s been a different story. We use water bottles with removable straws, and those times that I clean the straws … well, it’s pretty freaking disgusting what I see.
“Ideally, it is a good idea to clean your water bottle at the end of each day,” Eric Hansen, Director of Nalgene Outdoors, explains toAnd it doesn’t matter that it’s “just water” in the bottles. As microbiologist Miryam Z. Wahrman, tells, germs and microbes – including bacteria, viruses, and fungi – thrive in moist, warm environments like water bottles.
I think part of the problem is that it isn’t that easy to clean these bottles, especially the bottom of the bottle and the bottle caps and/or straws. I’ve found that investing in a few bottle-scrubbers can really save the day.
