1. Pour away the remaining water first, disassemble the water bottle, cap, bottle mouth and other parts, and rinse them with clean water respectively. Use a small rotating brush and a straight brush to carefully clean every corner of the bottle. If it is a transparent bottle, and the water on the inner wall of the bottle neither condenses into drops nor flows down into strands, it is clean.
2. The spout is in direct contact with the mouth and is contaminated with saliva. The exposed spout will also be contaminated by dust during outdoor sports. In addition, a large amount of sugar-containing drinks will remain in the spout, breeding bacteria. As the saying goes, diseases enter from the mouth, so you need to pay special attention when cleaning. Cleaning the detachable spout is relatively simple. Pull out the spout by turning it hard and rinse it with clean water. If there is a sealing ring at the bottom of the spout, you need to remove the sealing ring and then clean it (if not removed, the back of the sealing ring will become Dead corners where dirt accumulates). If it is a non-detachable spout, you can pour a certain amount of tableware detergent into the bottle, fill it with water and shake it evenly, open the spout, and squeeze and rinse repeatedly.
3. The threads on the spout and lid are also areas that are easily overlooked during cleaning. It is recommended to apply an appropriate amount of toothpaste, scrub repeatedly with a toothbrush, rinse thoroughly, and place it in a ventilated place to dry.
4. The best way to disinfect sports water bottles is to dry them. It is recommended that after cleaning the water cup, dry it as much as possible. For example, with the opening facing down, place it on a clean grate to drain the water inside.
