🚨 Think your reusable water bottle is clean? Think again! 🚨

We all know staying hydrated is key, and many of us carry our water bottles everywhere. 💧 But did you know your bottle — yes, the one you're sipping from today — could be harboring harmful bacteria like E. coli?

🧼 Here’s what you need to know:
✅ Rinse your bottle daily with hot, soapy water
✅ Do a deep clean at least once a week — use a bottle brush or run it through the dishwasher (if it's dishwasher-safe)
✅ Don’t forget the lid and mouthpiece — they’re hotspots for germs!

Your health matters — stay hydrated and sanitary! 💙
