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

769 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

I have a 5l water jug I lugged around at work for 7yrs. The closest it ever got to a wash was being left in the rain, or the spout getting a wipe with a sweaty shirt if it was particularly dusty. Any left over water was just topped up with fresh water at night, and it would sit untouched over the weekend. Never had any issues.
