How can I effectively clean and sanitize my water bottle to ensure it is safe for reuse?
To effectively clean and sanitize your water bottle for safe reuse, wash it with hot, soapy water and use a bottle brush to scrub the inside. Rinse thoroughly with clean water. To sanitize, you can use a mixture of water and vinegar or a diluted bleach solution. Let the sanitizing solution sit in the bottle for a few minutes before rinsing thoroughly. Allow the bottle to air dry completely before using it again.
