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

793 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

Yes it is- Due to all the places you carry your bottle with you, germs on your hands, germs on handles, desks, floors, everywhere, plus a little backwash,.you end up having water that is too dirty to be considered “safe drinking tapwater.,”

The dark wet environment makes it an excellent breeding ground for mold and bacteria. Its best to wash it daily.
