Personal water bottles are an indispensable item for children when going to school. However, many parents lack attention to regular water cleaning to ensure the health of their children.
Every day's health
Many parents often do not pay attention to cleaning their water bottles every day, or leave them overnight and wash them the next morning. This is a mistake that makes the water bottle very likely to have an unpleasant odor as well as create opportunities for bacteria to grow.
Therefore, parents should note an important principle to do is to teach children to wash their water bottles right after coming home from school. This habit will help remove dirt and reduce bacteria so that they have the opportunity to grow harmful to their health.
Clean the parts of the water bottle
Children's water bottles often consist of many parts such as the body, lid, straw, anti-lock valve, rubber gasoline (silicone).
Therefore, try to clean each part to avoid hidden bacteria and mold sticking to the median strip. When washing the water bottle, remove all the parts to be able to clean, ensuring thorough hygiene.
Wash the inside of the water bottle lid
The inside of the water bottle lid is often overlooked and is a place of accumulation of a lot of debris, easily causing unpleasant odors. The inside of the cup lid has small round holes and valves. Use the right dishwasher to clean every corner, especially the rubber gasoline that is often attached to the lid to prevent water leakage.
If not washed regularly, the inside cover of the water bottle will form a mucus layer to make bacteria more likely to grow. In addition, the straws also need to be cleaned with specialized palm sticks every day.
Dry before reuse
After rinsing, rinse all parts of the water bottle, rinse with warm water and dry thoroughly. installing the parts of the water bottle while it is still wet will cause mold to quickly stick to it.
Dry the water in a clean tray, let it dry naturally in a breathable place before reinstalling and letting the child continue to use it.
