Yeti wide mouth because it's easy to clean. I just flush it with hot tap water and a drop of Dawn, let it sit for a few minutes, then hold my hand over the mouth and shake. Rinse thoroughly, then dry right side up so condensation doesn't build up inside. The part to really pay attention to is the mouthpiece, but that is quickly cleaned with some soapy water and a rag.
Also, DON'T use your dishes rag/sponge on your water bottles, as it always has residual dish gunk (no matter how many times you rinse it) that will actually make your water bottle dirtier. Keep a separate rag for washing drinking bottles and wring it properly when you're done.
Yeti's are also one of the few that are dishwasher safe
That wide mouth is the real big money.
Agreed, but I never put water bottles in the dishwasher and always hand wash them. The soaps they use can leave behind a residue after drying, something I can smell and taste.
Iirc this might have more to do with your water quality being hard/soft or the ph or something, than the soap itself.
It's quite possible, as I'm on conditioned well water.
a bottle brush is more appropiate.
It's only used for water, so there's nothing to scrub away. Hot soapy water is enough.
Bacterial and algal growth normally adheres to surfaces, and especially if not removed physically and frequently, builds up. Like the sides of a pond, basin, anything even with constantly running water, never mind mostly stagnant.
I have one of those and it’s the easiest bottle to clean that I have. Takes like 1 min from wet to totally dry. However, it’s not insulated so that may be an issue for them.
I saw an insulated one when i just checked. Price £40.
Edit: Here
Oh nice, missed those.
