How often do you wash your water bottles?

How often do you wash your water bottles?

Look closely, you will find mould in the most unsuspecting places...

The Delish website is a one-stop shop for home cooks. This website offers them tried and tested recipes. 

From recipes for food and cocktails to tips and tools that help you with everything you need to know about food, saving, money and budgeting. 

A woman from the Delish brand took to TikTok recently to share something enlightening. 

In a video shared on the Delish TikTok page, we see a woman uncover the state of her colleague's water bottles. 

She gagged when she smelt one of the water bottles she collected. She had the same reaction when she found mould in another person's water bottle lid. 

It was anything but comforting to see this, especially considering that we use these kinds of water bottles daily. Not everybody washes their bottles every day nor do they deep clean.

Many commented suggesting that people should get a Hydro Flask, but from the looks of it, you would still have to wash the bottle. 

Others said they would rather consume the mould than wash their bottles everyday. 

Do you wash your water bottle everyday?
