To cleanse a bottle, you can follow these simple steps:
Rinse the bottle: First, rinse the bottle with warm water to remove any remaining liquids or debris. If the bottle has any stubborn stains or odors, you can add a drop of dish soap to the water and shake the bottle to create some suds.
Scrub the bottle: Use a bottle brush or a sponge with a long handle to scrub the inside of the bottle thoroughly. Pay special attention to the bottom and the neck of the bottle where bacteria can accumulate. If the bottle has a narrow opening that makes it difficult to clean, you can use a small brush with stiff bristles to clean those hard-to-reach spots.
Rinse again: After scrubbing the bottle, rinse it thoroughly with clean water to remove any soap or remaining debris.
Sanitize the bottle: You can sanitize the bottle by filling it with a solution of water and a few drops of bleach, or by using a specialized bottle sanitizer. Follow the instructions on the sanitizer's packaging or use one tablespoon of bleach per gallon of water, and let the solution sit in the bottle for about two minutes before pouring it out and rinsing the bottle again.
Dry the bottle: Once the bottle is clean and sanitized, let it air dry completely before using it again. If you need to use the bottle immediately, you can dry it with a clean towel or a paper towel.
By following these steps, you can effectively cleanse your bottle and ensure that it is safe to use again.
