How often do you wash your water bottle?

1. I’m embarrassed to say how little I wash my water bottle lol. I just keep refilling it throughout the day everyday. I think I put it in the dishwasher once a week though and get a new one.

2. 1-2x a week

3. Like once a year. Lol

4. I’m supposed to wash it?

5. Oh I’m a nerd then. Every time, but I just fill shake and dry… So a rinse every time… Soap every 4 days or so

6. Every 24 hours I put my water glass in the dishwasher and get a new one. I drink it out of a big glass, like a pint glass

7. Every day only because I put lemon and cucumber slices in it. Sometimes I go every other day but not usually

8. Umm once a week maybe. Sometimes longer. Basically until the ring of lip gloss around the top is thick enough to annoy me.

9. In reality – once a month probably. It’s not something I’m proud of.

10. when it starts to smell weird

11. Whenever I remember, so like once a week

12. Mine are just reused store bought single bottles of water so never. I get groosed out and buy myself a new Life Water, with the best artwork on the display.

13. Not as often as I should

14. I use a reusable hard plastic bottle. I aim to wash it once a week… but in reality I sometimes put it off until I notice a funky smell or residue in the bottle 😬

15. when it gets visibly dirty 😭

16. Everyday especially cups w/o lids. You never know what might have crawled in & out of it.

17. I actually don’t have one and don’t keep a glass by my bed, is that weird?

18. [removed]

19. Once a day

    I used to wash it less frequently so it’s an improvement

20. Once a day, at least, for my water cup (I work from home). My cats prefer my cup of water over their bowls and they both drink by dunking their paw in and licking the water off their paws. So once a day and whenever I catch them.

    For portable water bottle, at the end of the day.

21. I never buy one that I can’t put in the dishwasher. I’ve got a couple large ones I use daily that I switch through during the week and throw the others in the dishwasher.

22. Once a week really

23. Last time I did.. it was glorious. So shiny!!

24. Cups – fairly often, as much as other dishes I think. As for the gym bottle, less than I should but I rinse it every now and then.

25. Once a week now. I set a reminder because I’m guilty of not washing it frequently in the past.

26. Every single morning it goes downstairs with me and straight into the sink.

    We have super hard water so it gets mineral deposits settling at the bottom and it’s gross.

27. My bottle is a big metal 32oz jug. I wash the actual bottle part once a week and wash the lid/straw every other day unless someone in the house is sick then I wash it every day sometimes twice a day.

28. Every three days.

29. Never 🤣😅 I use a brita water bottle so I try to justify it by knowing it’s filtered 😭

30. On the rare occasion that I think to before refilling it

31. I have had my current water bottle for like 5 months and only washed it once. It looks and smells fine so I don’t really care

32. Oof. Once every few months? I just washed mine yesterday because I saw some orange stuff in the cap. 🥴

33. Historically, not often. But I recently bought a bottle cleaning kit so every few days now.

34. When the white soft stuff starts to build up

35. Weird cause I just washed mine today but really I wash it like maybe 4-6 times/year….kind of gross maybe, but yea when it starts to look or smell off. I drink/refill it multiple times per day so that’s kind of like rinsing it.

36. I’ll hand wash it real well once every week or two 🙈

37. Maybe once a month?

38. Every other day, like the 2nd day I use it.

39. My boyfriend only washes his when I point out the MOLD on the seal. Maybe once every 4 months 🤮

40. Wash my water bottle every two uses. Because bacteria build up around the area you drink. That can cause strep throat. I also alternate water bottles. I have 3 same bottles in different colors. Lol My water cup by my nightstand – I change it every day. I don’t use metal canteens, because I can’t stand the metal touching my teeth and hearing the vibrations nope nope.

41. Every 24 hours
