Is Your Reusable Water Bottle A Hotbed For Harmful Bacteria & Mould? | Talking Point | Full Episode

Frankly it’s no different from cleaning baby bottles…scrub and sterilise etc. I avoid “complicated” designs which are challenging to wash.

The survey lacks one option "I don't wash my bottles".

The irony is that people spend thousands of dollars on filtered water only to be drinking contaminated water from their very own water bottle.😂

Who went to wash their bottle right after this 🤣

I swear you unlock new fear everytime😭

Finally I got my answer after 10 years. Thanks for the video. I like to have bottle with plain shape. Germs grow on corners and edges more because water stays on those corners.

Should do a test if dishwasher washes the bottle cleaner... Dishwashers are becoming more popular in Singapore. It should be promoted for the water saving purposes.

good video and just in time as we are managing heat stress. I will be sharing with our group of parents and caregivers as well! thank you!

i’d never use steel bottles even if they are trendy, i only use glass. you can’t see mold growing at the bottom of your steel bottles but glass keeps everything on display; it keeps you accountable for cleaning. also a pretty big factor is sunlight killing bacteria that just doesn’t happen with steel bottles.

Loving this series.

this has enlightened my choices that impact my health. thank you.

Steven 🎉🎉 I miss you so much. Please keep on appearing.

I’m surprised by how rare people wash their water bottles. Growing up I was taught to wash it everyday, thoroughly exactly like how it was shown in the video. Now that I’m older, I get lazy sometimes so I only wash it every 2-3 days and even then I feel like it’s pretty gross. I’m not judging, I’m just pretty surprised by the stats of how often people wash their bottles with soap. I’m also surprised that people think rinsing the water bottle does anything 😳

one trick i use is to drink from the bottle without mouth contact to the spout and pouring it straight into my mouth. accidental spills do happen and of cos you still must wash often.

Personally, I don't like using bottle brushes or sponges. Most of the water bottles are not straight in design especially at the neck. Most of them have curves for suiting the hands. Therefore, it's possible to have missing spots when comes to the curved areas. Wash clothes are more flexible and can cover more areas inside the bottles. The easiest way for getting rid of mold is to soak the water bottles with 1:99 ratio of vinegar. Soak the bottle and don't forget the lid. I usually soak my water bottles not only on the right side, I also soak it up side down for the lid. Then open the flap and soak the lid up side down mainly is for the drinking spout & the inside of the flap. It's time consuming but it should be clean enough to use. It's nothing when you have more than one water bottles for switching.

such a great video! perhaps we can check out the effectiveness of UV self-cleaning water bottles next?

A tip is pour the water out into a mug before drinking. I never drink directly from my reusable bottle in fridge. And please wash it daily when we refill it.

Well this was awesome! First time I see a CNA Insider video, and I must say, I am impressed. Thank you for putting this together for us! I have a metal Lululemon bottle that I use for strictly water, but I haven't been cleaning it with soap often enough. I'll be sure to clean it thoroughly at least once every couple of days after watching this. 😊

Hmm there was no mention about using boiling hot water to sanitize/clean the stainless steel bottles. Could that have worked?

Can you do an episode for gym equipments and yoga mats as well?
