How Often Do You Wash Your Water Bottle?

When you’re a gym rat or a semi-regular exerciser, you tend to fall into a natural routine. You pack your clothes and toiletries every day and hit the road. However, you may be overlooking a crucial element – your water bottle.

Which begs the question – when was the last time you washed your water bottle?

Reusable water bottles come in a huge variety in shape, size, style, and material. Some are dishwasher safe others can only be rinsed. Some are streamlined and easy to clean others are complicated with mouthpieces and straws that could prove difficult to disinfect.

A quick survey tells us that most of us usually just do a quick rinse everyday, then refill it.
