It’s okay if there is a wash! The doctor recommends washing the water once every two days: 1 action after washing is more important

Many people will prepare water bottles and water bottles by themselves. Doctors suggest that if the water bottle is not properly cleaned, it is not only water that can be drunk, but may also contain more bacteria. Therefore, it is recommended that the water bottle be cleaned with a cleaning soap liquid, hot water and water bottle brush every two days, and place it until it is completely dry after washing to avoid the bacteria in the bottle. The more you drink, the worse your body is. According to New York Post, Jason Singh, a primary Care Physician in Virginia, said in a TikTok video that many people don’t often clean their hard water bottles, or just wash them quickly every time, but that’s not right.

Singh said that water pots are not suitable for cleaning, each sip of water is not just drinking water, but performing "microbial communication", that is, the exchange of chains in the mouth and other Gram-positive microorganisms and microorganisms in the water bottle.

Research points out that microorganisms can form biofilm on the surface of objects such as water bottles within 48 hours; bacteria will create protective layers and breed, forming a complex community for them to communicate and disperse.

report pointed out that bacterial species determine the abnormality of the bacterial membrane, and researchers infected 65% to 80% of humans due to bacterial membranes, especially those on tubes, pacemakers and cardiac valves.

Singh said that this is why he suggested cleaning the water tank regularly. He believed that the water tank should be cleaned with soap, hot water and water bottle brush every two days, and then placed completely dry after cleaning, so as to destroy the bacterial community in the water tank.

Biologists at the University of Alabama at Birmingham believe that if the water tank is used every day, it should be cleaned every day, or at least once a week. They recommend using hot water and dishwashing essence to clean the inside and outside of the water bottle, thoroughly clean every dead corner where the bacteria may be hiding, and then wash it with clean water. After cleaning, be sure to make the bottle dry.
