glass water bottles
« on: November 26, 2007, 11:40:23 AM »

I used the glass water bottles and have noticed they are begining to look cloudy at the mouth where the water is licked out inside the glass tube. Has anyone else noticed this?

I clean mine daily and boil them weekly to keep them sterile. My oldest bottles are the ones that are now showing up a little cloudy.

Get some pipe cleaners and wet one and stick it into the glass drinking spout and twirl it around.  You will be amazed at what comes out!! Those spouts can be hard to reach but they need to be scrubbed like the rest of the bottle.

Vinegar and water also helps clean glass water bottles.
