teaspoon of baking soda in a 4 litres of water. Fill your water bottle
with the solution and let it sit overnight. Next morning, thoroughly
rinse your bottle. Allow it to dry inverted on a clean dish rack. When
it’s dry, store it in a cupboard with the lid off until next use.
Freezer Method: This method is for those of you with
room in your freezer. Wash your bottle in warm soapy water. Rinse it
well, then stick it in the freezer until you’re ready to use it again.

rinse your bottle. Allow it to dry inverted on a clean dish rack. When
it’s dry, store it in a cupboard with the lid off until next use.
