C-bak suggests bleach, but I can always taste it, even after throughly rinsing. I fill mine w/hot water and a lot of baking soda. Sit overnight (or a couple), then rinse well. Air dry it and store in the freezer. Baking soda is much more harmless to my tummy anyway. -- Slack |

Urine is what they use during the Tour.
Try it and let us know. no spam for me wrote: Anyone got a good way to get that yechy taste out of these things? I got a new one and the water tastes liek chemicals. Clorox? Gatorade? I just want my water to taste like water! |

Clean it with water and just a tad of bleach. Then rinse with
water and baking soda. -- - Zilla Cary, NC USA (Remove XSPAM) "Slack" wrote in message ... no spam for me wrote: Anyone got a good way to get that yechy taste out of these things?

Mine's over ten years old I guess. I've never treated it with anything, and never put anything but water in it. Tastes fine, for certain definitions of "fine." -- -- Lynn Wallace http://www.xmission.com/~lawall Conservative dictionary: Judicial Activist: n. A judge who tends to rule against your wishes. |

And the first prize for good anwsers goes to Zilla of Cary NC! We are in
the rinse cycle as we type...let you know later on...BTW, the instructions for first use don't say anything about the bleach and baking soda...that's actually in the cleaning directions! Nonetheless, thanks all. OH yeah, Pete, you can go ahead and **** in your water bottle, I take a pass on that one! NSFM "Zilla" wrote in message ... Clean it with water and just a tad of bleach.

A splash of pure lemon juice works great, too. Strong citrus not only
kills any plastic flavor, it also keeps the bag from getting musty. -Vee G.T. wrote: "no spam for me" no_ wrote in message news:a0vNe.2309$137.1012@trnddc08...

I just put a little lemon Perrier in mine before I fill it with water. It's always lemony fresh that way. HTH, Greg |
