black moldy crud in old water bottle
wrote in message ... I forget, isn't there some way to get rid of the black moldy cruds in old water bottles? Vinegar? Baking soda? Does anybody remember? Thanks. Equal parts dish liquid and Clorox bleach, mixed with water. Rinse out vigorously. |

I've gone all Soma for bottles now. "http://www.somafab.com/bottle.html". No BPA, and no plasticky tast from LDPE or HDPE. |

I've gone all Soma for bottles now. "http://www.somafab.com/bottle.html". No BPA, and no plasticky tast from LDPE or HDPE. I'd just use hot water, dishwashing liquid & a sponge with tongs or something. I don't have the problem since my bottles go into the dishwasher after a ride. I've used nothing but Polar insulated for several years now. They're BPA & Phthalate free, LDPE, but I've never noticed a taste, and I drink mostly water from them. |

Let me second Peter's recommendation for Polar insulated bottles; I think they are a great product. I've never detected a 'plastic' taste and the dishwasher cleans them beautifully (top rack only!) -- Paul D Oosterhout I work for SAIC (but I don't speak for SAIC) |
