Get a Clean Water Bottle With These 4 Simple Steps, According to Experts
The first thing you want to do is disassemble each part of your water bottle and give it a good rinse inside and out with hot water to remove any “debris or residue,” according to Val Oliveira, CEO and owner of
, a professional cleaning and organizing company based in Chicago—something that should become a daily part of your routine.“Next, we use dish soap and a bottle brush to scrub the interior of the bottle, paying close attention to any hard-to-reach areas,” she says.“Once the bottle has been thoroughly scrubbed, we rinse it again with hot water and then sanitize it using a solution of water and vinegar.” Make your mix using equal parts water and vinegar.
Oliveira says that vinegar works as a disinfectant and can kill some bacteria and germs. “Rinsing a water bottle with vinegar and water can be particularly useful if the bottle has not been cleaned for some time or has been used to hold liquids other than water, such as juice or soda, which can leave behind sugar residues that can attract bacteria,” she says.“Finally, we allow the bottle to air dry completely,” Oliveira continues.
