YOU KNOW THOSE REUSABLE WATER BOTTLES you drink from throughout the day? (You *are* drinking water throughout the day, right?) Here's why – and how – you want to wash them every night: Each time you drink from them, bacteria go into the bottle. (Eww) And they breed if you don't wash the bottle. (double Eww – triple Eww in flu season)
SIMPLE SOLUTION: When you get home, put the water bottle into the sink, fill bottle with hot water, plus a splash of dish soap and distilled white vinegar to disinfect. Put the lid in a small bowl in the sink and do the same. Soak for 20 minutes. Rinse with hot water and air-dry upside down. Voila, clean water bottle and lid. Rinse and repeat daily (literally and figuratively). Your body will thank you!
