– Why is it bad to use my water bottle for multiple days without washing it?

761 views

I either drink it all or I dump it and put fresh water in. What are the risks if I don’t wash it? It’s just me drinking out of it. I’m talking days and days like why ever wash it if it’s just me?

Edit: Clarified the amount of time without washing

Okay, little buddy! Let’s think step by step:
1. Every time you drink, some germs from your mouth get onto the bottle.
2. Germs love warm, damp places. So, they start to grow inside the bottle.
3. If you don’t wash it, more and more germs build up.
4. Then, when you drink again, you could swallow those germs.
5. Swallowing too many germs can make you sick.
So, it’s a good idea to wash your bottle regularly to keep it clean and safe!
