black moldy crud in old water bottle

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.

Plastic? If so, a nice recycle into Polartec is in order.

Nice long soak in bleach?

Hydrogen peroxide, with some mechanical scrubbing works fine. btw, this
'black fungus' was found in city-bottled water here, and found harmless.

When I want to gently mechanically scrub something like this, I dump in a
handful of coffee grounds and shake vigorously. (The bottle, not myself.)

Bleach is generally good at killing everything. May leave an aftertaste
in some polymers, but a lemon juice rinse may relieve that (in my
experience).

bleech, then I find a bit of mouthwash with some water to add some
volume, shake and rinse out: ususally gets rid of the crap and the
bleech aftertaste

.... or coarse (like kosher) salt.

mold doesn't adhere readily to polyethylene, so usually a bottle brush
and some soapy water will do the job.
