If you are a fan of water bottles and thermoses, these allies of sustainable and practical hydration, you may have already asked yourself the question: Is it really necessary to clean them regularly if I only put water in them?
A topic of debate
Currently, no rigorous scientific study published in reputable journals definitively proves that water bottles systematically become breeding grounds for bacteria. Yet, the topic is much debated. Some preliminary studies or anecdotal tests show that bacteria can proliferate in poorly cleaned containers due to stagnant moisture and saliva residue. This is enough to raise our awareness!
Even without definitive proof, adopting regular cleaning habits is a simple and effective precautionary measure to avoid any unpleasantness: odors, unpleasant tastes, and even potentially unwanted bacteria.
Tips for optimal maintenance
To extend the life of your Thermoses and water bottles while ensuring healthy hydration, here are some maintenance tips to incorporate into your routine:
1. Daily rinsing : After each use, rinse your thermos or water bottle with hot water, even if you only used water. This helps remove invisible residue.
2. A thorough cleaning : Once a week, use a little mild dish soap and a brush specially designed to reach the bottom of your container. At FYNLORA, we offer a practical and ergonomic cleaning brush, ideal for your water bottles and thermoses.
3. Natural descaling : To remove limescale deposits or persistent odors, use a solution of diluted white vinegar or baking soda. Leave it on for a few hours before rinsing thoroughly.
4. Complete drying : Once cleaned, let your thermos or water bottle air dry completely with the cap open. Stagnant moisture is enemy number one!
5. Iinspect regularly : Check seals and removable parts. These are areas where residue can accumulate. Replace them as needed to prevent leaks or unpleasant odors.

Je recommande à 100% pour ma part je me suis laissé tenter par les bougies parfumées et la cire parfumée pour les vêtements. J’aime beaucoup le design de la bougie minimaliste. L’odeur de la cire est très agréable. Ça fait 2 semaines que je l’utilise l’odeur est toujours là.
