5 Tips on Cleaning a Reusable Water Bottle the Right Way

  • 10 Jun 2022
  • 0 Comments

Reusable water bottles are becoming more and more popular. Because of their design, they are cost-effective and offer numerous health benefits over disposable plastic bottles. Over the course of their lifespan, however, they will get dirty, which brings us to the topic of this article: how to clean a reusable water bottle. The following tips will offer you a quick overview of how to clean a reusable water bottle:

 

Determine How Often You Need to Clean Your Water Bottle

1. Determine How Often You Need to Clean Your Water Bottle

How often you need to clean your water bottle depends on what you plan to use it for. If you plan on using it for hiking or camping, for example, you will need to clean it more frequently because these activities are more likely to expose your water bottle to dirt, dust, and debris. If you plan on using your water bottle for everyday use, you may need to clean it less frequently, as the risks of accidental spills and exposure to dirt, debris, and dust are lower, so there is less of a chance that you will need to fully clean your water bottle.

 

Follow the Manufacturer's Instructions

2. Follow the Manufacturer's Instructions

Most manufacturers will have specific instructions on how to clean and how often to clean the water bottle that is specific to their design. Following these instructions will help keep your water bottle in the best condition possible. Many of the cleaning instructions are very simple and easy to follow, such as using warm water and detergent to wash your reusable water bottle. However, if you're looking for a more thorough cleaning process, you may need to research the manufacturer's instructions online.

 

Drink Before and After Meals

3. Clean in Advance of Needing to Use Your Water Bottle

If you are planning on using your water bottle for a specific purpose, such as hiking or cleaning, in advance of needing to use it is always a good idea. This will prevent any unwanted circumstances, such as needing to use your water bottle and discovering that it is dirty and needs to be cleaned right away. When you have time to let your water bottle air dry, you may also want to store it in a cool and dry location.

 

Use the Right Tools and Cleaning Products

4. Use the Right Tools and Cleaning Products

A toothbrush and warm water are a good start, but you'll also want to ensure you have some other tools to help you get the job done. The three most common tools you'll need are a sponge, a toothbrush, and dish soap. Dish detergent is a good choice, as it's non-toxic and biodegradable.

As an alternative, distilled white vinegar can be used to kill germs, dissolve rust, and remove stains. When picking out a sponge, you may want to look for a soft bristle brush, as it is gentler on your water bottle. Scrubbing brushes are also a good option for getting into hard-to-reach places.

 

The Dishwasher Isn't Always the Best Option

5. The Dishwasher Isn't Always the Best Option

The dishwasher can be a great place to clean your water bottle, but it isn't always the best option. If you use the dishwasher frequently, it may be worth the investment and time to buy water bottles that are dishwasher-safe. If you don't use the dishwasher often and your water bottle is made of silicone or plastic, it's best to avoid using the dishwasher as it can shorten the life of your water bottle and cause it to become brittle. Plus, using the dishwasher can cause you to lose track of time on your dishes, which may lead to brown or yellow buildup on your water bottle.

 

Alternative to Disposable Plastic Bottles

Conclusion

The use of reusable water bottles is growing in popularity because of concerns over pollution, costs, and health. As a result, they are a great alternative to using disposable plastic bottles, but they do need to be cleaned regularly to ensure they are in the best shape possible. By following the tips above, you can keep your water bottle clean and functioning properly for years to come.

Switching to reusable water bottles is a step in the right direction to help the environment.
