Steam kills 99.9% of bacteria and germs within the bottle
The human body is made up of 60% water, and needs to be constantly hydrated. Americans contribute to almost 50 billion plastic bottles, and the world uses approximately 481.6 billion bottles per year. In order to combat the rising climate change crisis, many are opting for reusable bottles.
While buying a reusable bottle does help the environment in the littlest of ways, it also brings the new duty of having to maintain the bottles cleanliness. Overtime, the bottle can build up bacteria from not only backwash and touching your mouth, but also from air particles, coming in contact with surfaces, and even your hands after touching an object. Something that you expect to keep you healthy could be cause more harm than perceived. So cleaning the outside is just as important, if not more, as the inside.
How do you make the reusable water bottle/drinking glass cleaning process efficient and sustainable, while also properly eliminating all bacteria and mold buildup in/on the bottles, other bottle components, and glassware?
