Yes, you do need to clean your water bottle. Here's why and how

Yes, you do need to clean your water bottle. Here's why and how 16 mins ago Reusable bottles get grubby no matter what liquid they’re filled with, so it’s important to clean them regularly. Water bottles pick up germs from our mouths when we take a sip, and from our hands when we touch the straw or lid. Experts disagree on when and how you should wash them, but they’re all in agreement on one thing: something is better than nothing at all. The simplest cleaning routine is a daily soapy water scrub, using a thin brush to get into straws and tight crannies. For a deeper clean, try the dishwasher if your bottle can handle it, or dissolve a denture or retainer-cleaning tablet in it overnight.
