How to Clean Moldy Water Bottles

[@noridionYsus]

I know this sounds a bit strange BUT hear me out. If you have one of those bottles where you cant get a brush into it, try adding raw rice and a tiny bit of water to the bottle and then shake/swirl it about. It removes the mould from the surface. I soaked the bottle for a few minutes, drained it, added the rice and shook it about, drained out the rice and the water, then I followed this video and now my bottle is like brand new 💜 Thank you for this video! :)

[@roshnibouri2356]

I tried this and it’s amazing thank you

[@acedee765]

can this work on a moldy wooden lids?

[@xl6321]

I was taught this back in high school by Home Economics teacher.

[@تشؤنسخى]

@@xl6321 @X L I was taught this in high school from older peers cleaning bongs. Alcohol & raw rice + a shake = shiny glass bong. 😅

[@archery411]

will this work on something that has a /particularly/ small opening? like a flask (ie, the ones used for alcohol, NOT a thermos or hydro flask). if not? is there another alternative? im kind of freaking out

[@kayleeanderson2315]

Thank you!!! I got so grossed out that my flask had mold in it and I didn’t know what to do! Ty!!

[@StarLight_tu]

This is actually really helpful video with good instruction. Way better than though short videos nowaday.

[@DelandaBaudLacanian]

Thank you...I use a thermos to hold strictly ice and it started smelling a bit moldy, vinegar and baking soda was the magic touch 👌

[@carter...apollo147]

Thank you so much, I was ready to throw my water bottle out but this was extremely helpful!! :)

[@redflares4389]

Same

[@stilllearning8360]

Thanks, great demonstration... Even 5 years later!! Bravo!

[@lopezg415]

Great video, btw I didn't have a bottle brush so I added a few tablespoons of rock salt to your vinegar/baking soda mix, until I had a good salt slushie, then a 2 minute cha cha cha, and that provided all the abrasion needed to clean clean the inside.

[@Zaneandhismayn]

Ooo thanks I'll try that

[@claregianne4668]

Thank you! I also don't have that kind of brush so this helps 😁

[@davidmeek8692]

Putting table salt in with ice will also srub .....just swirl it around ....easy mode!

[@tannersykes4799]

“2 minute cha cha cha” HAHAHA YES

[@teodoracordero7084]

Thanks for that demo on cleaning molds from water bottles...I'll try it...reading comments help a lot too...

[@andreashaffner3435]

It worked! Thanks :) I had already tried vinegar and didn’t want to use bleach because it says not to. The baking soda was my missing piece.

Thank you I was scared I was going to have to throw away my favorite water bottle you are a god send 🙏🏽

[@georgeanngash8420]

Thank you for being so complete

[@Littles13579]

You scrub it with the baking soda while the vinegar is still inside?

[@PrincessCakemon]

thank you. I thought I was the only one having that problem and just using soap made it go away just for one use.

[@dxrkdxys4182]

I approve

[@EfficientTrout]

Rice is the best solution if you don’t have bottle brush. It scrubs the fungus that grew inside the bottle.

[@karroarmado9272]

How should I use it?

[@kellyvoong5343]

I tried to wash my bottle before I even watched this video, I cleaned it with hot water, baking soda, lemon, and soap. Then when I opened up my bottle and sniffed it after it dried it smelled so bad, I can't imagine what it would taste like. But I'll try out this tutorial to see the outcome.

[@Zaneandhismayn]

Soap clumps when mixed with an acid like vinegar/lemon juice. And baking soda just neutralizes your acid. So you just cleaned with basically soapy water.

[@Jacob-yg7lz]

Update?

[@wreathlings]

That sink doh. 🔥

[@addisondarrah5151]

thank you!!! this saved my water bottle

[@sincerelyisabellevictoria]

This was extremely helpful, thank you!! :)

[@januaryh208]

You can scrub clean your stainless drain strainer with the same. Vinegar & Baking Soda are the best !

[@bazbee1]

Thank you for this video I have the coldest water bottle and every time I drink out of it I end up with an upset stomach despite washing it with boiling water and detergent

DETERGENT?! Maybe that’s why...you shouldn’t use detergent😭

[@Haildawn]

That black lid with the pop top grows mould inside the top cap underneath where its almost impossible to reach, i need a video showing how to clean that 😭

[@chriserony]

Thank you!! I have a glass water bottle and no matter how much I clean it out it just seems to get worse. (Smells and there's a while film.)

Hi , put paper towel in the small opening bottle and use a utensil to rub it Round or tongs. Great job.

[@karamarie6781]

Can’t you just put the lids in the dishwasher, in a reusable mesh produce bag so they don’t fall to the bottom of the dishwasher?

[@acedee765]

will this work on a wooden jar lid?

[@trgilmore1]

I use the same method on wood but it will start to remove any finish that is on the wood

[@Zero-Zero-Zero-Zero]

The mold was really stained on the container, I only cleaned with dish soap. Will I be okay to use it?

[@trgilmore1]

If there was mold I definitely recommend vinegar to disinfect.

[@Zero-Zero-Zero-Zero]

@@trgilmore1 okay thank a lot! I'll try that

[@martha2bun]

What about flip lids where I can't get to the hinges?

[@CHRISTIANNWO]

Sink them in vinegar then add a watery baking soda solution

[@lucieann21]

Salt and water then shake shake shake. The salt disinfects too.

[@kebabelain4969]

How good does salt work?

@@kebabelain4969 Really well! Its abbrasive but only mildly so it cleans the inside and salt is antiseptic so kills germs.

i left a cup of water out for a while and i was about to move it and i noticed it had a small moldy part in it. it looked spiky and was black aswell. should i try to remove it? or would just washing it be okay?

[@enii270]

I would remove it, wash, and disinfect 😌

[@tankweng2606]

Will a new tooth brush work?

[@trgilmore1]

Yes, although you may find it hard to scrub the bottom of the bottles well

[@ceridwengriffith4344]

After cleaning my coffee cups, they leak. I have replaced the seals but it just seems like they leak now.( gaskets)

[@trgilmore1]

Over time vinegar will break down the silicone seals, so you don't want to expose them for too long and make sure you rinse them thoroughly when done. If you replaced the seals and they still leak I'm not entirely sure what could be causing that, I would check to see if there are any dings or warps maybe

[@itsjustmiya7377]

Is it ok if I used disinfectant wipes

[@trgilmore1]

Definitely okay though I don't know how effective it would be against mold though. Also be sure to rinse with water afterwards.

[@thisishere3071]

[@julianbubbles1596]

[@tannerreel4806]

will appleside vintage work lol

[@trgilmore1]

Apple cider vinegar should work but it is slightly less acidic than regular vinegar so I might let it soak a little longer just to be safe

[@KatieLee235]

funny I am watching how to do this because my electric kettle has mold in it.... and it's the same electric kettle you have :)

[@Rbrezay]

Can I just use vinegar?

[@trgilmore1]

You can get away without the baking soda most of the time but you do need some sort of brush that you can scrub the entire inside with, otherwise you'll have debris hang onto the sides and give a footfold for future mold and bacteria to grow faster

[@Rbrezay]

Tim Gilmore I appreciate it the quick response. I didn’t brush but didn’t have mold. Hopefully it’s all good
