GERM ALERT!
This is what happens when you don't clean your reusable water bottle after each use.

Many think that there is only water in reusable drinking bottles, so they do not need to be cleaned as often. This is not correct, because germs such as fungi or bacteria can multiply rapidly in the bottles. Therefore, long-lasting drinking bottles should be cleaned regularly and immediately after use. But there are problems here.

Reusable durable drinking bottles made of metal, plastic or glass are wonderful for many reasons. On the one hand they ensure that you always have enough liquid with you and on the other hand they replace single-use plastic bottles. However, one thing is often forgotten: to ensure adequate hygiene, otherwise germs can settle as infectious agents, such as fungi or bacteria. The bacteria mainly come from us.

For example out of the mouth. But there are also intestinal bacteria. If the bottle is not rinsed out for several days, the bacteria can multiply and, in the worst case, form a slime layer of microorganisms together with other germs. This can lead to health problems such as diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain and headaches. Experts therefore recommend cleaning reusable drinking bottles after each use. But is it that easy?

How to properly clean your bottle

If you use your water bottle every day, you should also clean it every day, according to the experts. Said and done. It is enough to rinse the bottle with hot water and some dish soap. It is advisable to use a soft brush.

But that's where the problems start with most drinking bottles, because they have a weak point: a small opening. Effective cleaning is therefore only possible with greater effort. For example with special brushes or even with expensive cleaning tablets.

You should also make sure that the lid or screw cap is also cleaned, because germs can nest very well in the grooves. In addition, the cap is constantly in contact with the bottle opening or the drinking cap, where bacteria accumulate, especially from the mouth. And it is particularly important that you let your bottle dry out well. Unfortunately, this is another problem with bottles with small openings – yet it is particularly important because it prevents new unhealthy germs from forming.

Why the Unda is particularly easy and hygienic to clean

The UNDA multifunctional bottles do not have a narrow bottle neck like most drinking bottles, which makes cleaning the inside of the bottle difficult and requires special tools or chemical cleaning agents, which incur additional costs.

Rather, UNDA has a practical unique selling point: the large multi-purpose box has a particularly large opening. This means that it can be cleaned easily using a standard soft brush and without any special cleaning tablets. You can even clean the UNDA in the dishwasher every day and simply use a different UNDA in the meantime. Due to its modular design, the UNDA can also be easily disassembled. This allows you to clean every part of the multifunctional bottle quickly and easily.

The transparent body of the bottle also has a clear advantage: you can see immediately where dirt is still hiding (e.g. residues of a flavoring powder).

With the UNDA multifunctional bottle, your brush reaches every corner!

The multifunctional bottle can be cleaned easily and, above all, hygienically: on the one hand, it has a particularly large opening and, on the other hand, the UNDA can be easily unscrewed due to its modular design. This means that every part of the multifunctional bottle can be cleaned easily and quickly, even in the dishwasher. And the transparent material makes dirt immediately visible.
