Bottles & Bacteria
Reusable water bottles, like those often used during journeys, can become breeding grounds for bacteria, especially in warm, humid conditions. Food particles
and improper cleaning can lead to this. Think of it as a microscopic version of Mumbai's bustling streets – busy with unseen activity!
Cleaning: Simple Steps
Regular cleaning is key! Start with a good scrub using soap and water, ensuring to reach all corners. For a deeper clean, a mix of vinegar and water, or even a mild bleach solution, can work wonders. Just like the ritualistic cleaning before a puja, dedication is crucial.
Travel-Friendly Hygiene
When travelling, cleaning might not always be easy. Consider using bottle brushes for thorough cleaning. Regularly wash your bottle after using public water sources. Just as you wouldn't share your plate, avoid sharing your bottle with others to maintain hygiene.
Material Matters Too
Different materials, like stainless steel or plastic, require slightly different cleaning approaches. Check the manufacturer's recommendations for the best practices. Just as you choose the right fabric for the Indian weather, pick the correct cleaning method.
