Admit it, you're not actually cleaning your reusable water bottle enough
Here's an unexpectedly confronting question: when did you last clean out your reusable water bottle? You know, the one that you've been toting around with you from the train to the office to the gym ad infinitum. The one that's developed a suspicious layer of grot around the lid that you're trying not to think about. That you accidentally left festering in the car on a swelteringly hot day. And when I say clean, I'm not just talking about a cursory slosh of fresh water and a bit of damage control around the neck - I mean a proper scrub, or at least a go-around in the dishwasher. If we're being entirely, unflinchingly honest, the answer for most of us is probably something along the lines of "I've left it a little bit longer than I should have." It's all too easy to just throw your bottle in your bag before racing out the door, and make cleaning it a problem for tomorrow. Or the day after. But the stomach-churning truth is that our trusty vessels are actually harbouring quite a staggering amount of bacteria, often without us even realising it. In 2023, researchers from the US company Water Filter Guru swabbed reusable bottles and found that the average one was 40,000 times dirtier than a toilet seat. It's enough to put you off your recommended two litres per day. Over the past decade or so, we've gradually become more aware of exactly what our (disposable) bottled water habit has been doing to the environment. The average single-use plastic bottle can take around 450 years to break down in landfill, shedding tiny particles known as microplastics as it decomposes. These build up in the soil and in the oceans, accumulating in the food chain and eventually cropping up in the stuff we eat; they've also been linked to a whole range of health problems, including hormone disruption and various cancers. Against this backdrop, the reusable bottle has emerged as an everyday hero. Using one instead of opting for throwaway plastic feels like a straightforward swap (as well as being an easy way to broadcast to society that, yes, you are an environmentally conscious citizen). And in recent years, these once-humble items have even become something of a status symbol. Just look at the improbable rise and rise of the uber-trendy Stanley Quencher cup. Once the sole preserve of outdoorsy types, these stainless steel beakers with flippy, sippy straws have been embraced with open arms by hydration-conscious Gen Zs. Pop into any pilates class and I can guarantee that the studio floor will be littered with Quenchers in every shade of the rainbow. Considerably less glamorous, though, is the sheer amount of bacteria that many of these receptacles are harbouring. "Bacteria grow in bottles due to moisture, warmth and nutrients, from saliva or drink residue," explains Dr Bruno Silvester Lopes, a lecturer in microbiology and epidemiology at Teesside University. They can "start multiplying in as little as 20 minutes", he adds, "and in 24 hours can reach a staggering billions or even trillions of cells". If you've ever noticed a slightly clammy layer building up on the inside of your bottle, congratulations, you've achieved the dubious honour of cultivating a "biofilm". This is "made up of collections of microbes, such as bacteria, that stick to each other and surfaces", Lopes says; it's also a pretty clear warning sign that your bottle-cleaning regime is not up to scratch. "Imagine biofilm like a Lego city built by bacteria," he suggests. In his analogy, the loose Lego pieces are the bacteria, and "as they stick together, they form a strong protective layer that is hard to remove, similar to a Lego city that is more difficult to tear apart". Common bacteria found in dirty bottles include Staphylococcus aureus (often referred to as "staph"), E coli and Pseudomonas species, explains Dr Suzanne Wylie, a GP and medical adviser for IQdoctor. While "healthy individuals may not experience immediate problems", she says, "these bacteria can pose a risk, particularly to young children, the elderly, or anyone with a weakened immune system". Exposure, Wylie adds, might result in symptoms such as gastrointestinal upset or sore throat. And if you're using your bottle for more exciting drinks than just water - mixing up a protein shake, for example, or sipping on fruit juice - then you're probably making matters worse. The process, Dr Wylie says, is "exacerbated by the presence of sugary drinks or milk-based liquids, as sugar and protein residues provide a rich nutrient source for bacteria and fungi". So, when you chuck a supplement powder into your drink or add a slice of fruit for flavour, it's not just yourself getting nourishment; you're also feeding a whole ecosystem of lucky microorganisms. In 2023, researchers from the US company Water Filter Guru swabbed reusable bottles and found that the average one was 40,000 times dirtier than a toilet seat You probably won't be all that shocked to learn that the rim of the bottle tends to be the spot with the highest concentration of bacteria, "due to frequent contact with the mouth", as Lopes puts it. Plus, if you really want to get into the nitty gritty, tiny traces of food can get caught here, especially if you're sipping and eating at the same time, and bacteria can use these to grow faster and better form that murky layer of biofilm. And if you're a Stanley cup owner, you might want to look away now. Bottles with built-in straws or spouts can be particularly problematic, Wylie notes, "especially those with complex parts that are difficult to clean". "The small crevices can trap moisture and debris, providing ideal breeding grounds for bacteria," she adds. If you really want to be put off your beloved sippy cup for good, a study from Water Filter Guru found that straw-topped bottles contained 14 times the bacteria you'd typically find in a pet's bowl. Grim. Whatever type of bottle you prefer, you should absolutely make the time to wash your bottle out daily, Wylie says, using warm water and washing-up liquid, paying particular attention "to the rim, lid and any straws or moving parts". A bottle brush, specially made to fit inside narrow-necked designs, is probably a better option than using a harsh scouring pad; these might scratch the inside, creating tiny crevices where bacteria can lurk (and thus potentially making the problem worse). Lopes also recommends soaking the bottle with diluted vinegar, lemon juice or baking soda on a weekly basis for a proper deep clean. The way you dry your bottle is just as important, too: microorganisms love moisture, so putting the time in to properly wash it out without finishing the job feels self-defeating. Wylie recommends that bottles "should be left to air dry completely with the lid off". Stainless steel bottles are generally more hygienic than plastic ones, as they are less likely to develop microabrasions And if your emotional support bottle is giving off a persistent dodgy smell when you open it, has visible mould, or looks cracked or warped on the surface, Wylie says, you should ditch it entirely. When you're next shopping around, it's worth bearing in mind that "stainless steel bottles are generally more hygienic than plastic ones, as they are less likely to develop microabrasions that can harbour bacteria". Glass is another hygienic option, albeit potentially risky for the clumsier among us. Essentially, Wylie adds, as long as you're cleaning your reusable bottle, drying it thoroughly and not hanging on to it past its prime, there's no need to be having biofilm-related nightmares. And if you don't? That's your prerogative, but don't say I didn't warn you. The Independent

'Perfect' Stanley water bottle that keeps drinks cold 'for hours' now 42% off in deal stack
As the mercury rises across the UK, staying hydrated is both increasingly important and increasingly difficult. With temperatures reaching up to 30 degrees in some areas, standard water bottles struggle to keep beverages cool, resulting in lukewarm drinks. Meanwhile, lugging a full bottle of water around adds to feeling hot and bothered, meaning sometimes it's tempting to not even bother. Stanley's latest water bottle launch tackles both of these problems in one. Shoppers have praised the AeroLight IceFlow bottle for its efficiency, with some saying they left the bottle in their hot cars for hours, only to return to still-chilled drinks. Meanwhile, its lightweight design makes it easier to carry around in the heat. The bottle usually costs £40 direct from Stanley, although currently Argos has it available in both black and white for £38. However smart shoppers can save 42% on even Argos' discounted price by stacking deals courtesy of money saving website TopCashback. When signing up with TopCashback, consumers get a free £15 new member bonus alongside a percentage of cashback on qualifying spends at thousands of qualifying retailers including Argos. This means new Argos shoppers would effectively pay £22.53 for the £38 bottle, while existing Argos customers would pay £22.68 for it after receiving the cashback. High-tech water bottles have surged in popularity in recent years, not just for hydration purposes but in many cases also as a fashion statement. Thanks to influencers and celebrities like Molly-Mae Hague, Stanley's iconic Quencher is arguably the most recognised option and is available in a vast array of colours, collaborations, and sizes. However, brands like Ninja and Yeti also offer bestselling and highly-rated alternatives, providing consumers with more choices than ever before, reports the Mirror. Elsewhere, Ocean Bottle has environmentally friendly styles which help tackle pollution while Aquaphor's City Cool bottle offers an activated carbon filter perfect for removing impurities in tap water as you drink. These on-trend water bottles are made from stainless steel, making them durable and eco-friendly. Meanwhile, double-walled designs ensure that contents remain cold even in high temperatures. However, while many bottles prioritise high capacity, this can make them cumbersome to carry around. For instance, the largest Stanley Quencher bottle holds 1.2 litres of liquid, which equates to a hefty weight of 4.2lbs or nearly a kilogram. This is why many shoppers have switched to the brand's newer AeroLight IceFlow, with the 600ml-capacity design made from 90% recycled stainless steel that weighs significantly less than its counterparts. The bottle boasts is dishwasher-safe, and comes with a leakproof straw and fast-flow spout as well as a wide opening for effortless cleaning. Stanley says that it maintains the cold temperature of beverages for up to 10 hours and offers an impressive 25-year warranty. Although there is limited feedback due to the product's recent launch in UK, early reviews on both the Argos and Stanley websites are overwhelmingly positive. One buyer praised the ease of cleaning it, saying: "I'm absolutely in love with this bottle. I like how it could be fully open for easy cleaning. Even when it's left in the car when it's sunny and very warm, water is still cold inside." Another user commented: "This bottle is fab for travelling with and holds a great amount of water without it being too heavy." Other shoppers are praising the AeroLight in their reviews for its ability to keep water 'super cold and fresh' and have called it 'brilliant,' with some hailing it 'the best buy ever. ' Another happy shopper said: "Recently brought this, lives up to its name. Happy with the product, it's easy clean, keeps the drink cold and is lightweight. Great for work or anywhere you need it." Nevertheless, some enthusiasts believe it doesn't quite match up to Stanley's top-seller, with one saying: "Does not keep cold for long like the Quencher, which was disappointing for this price." How to save 42% on a Stanley water bottle: Sign up to TopCashback for free via this link. Search for Argos on TopCashback, click through and buy the item normally. Get £15 cashback when you spend £15 or more on any item at Argos - including the Aerolight water bottle. The cashback should track to your TopCashback 'Earnings page' within seven days of your purchase where it can be withdrawn from.
