Washing Water Bottles

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, So are you ready for a dirty little
truth about your water bottle or what's that? You use
that water bottle every day, Curtis, You bring that in
the studio every day? Oh yeah, okay, do you wash
it every day? I should? Yeah, you should. I hate
to break it to you, but that thing may be
way dirtier than your toilet. Oh no, yeah. University study

(00:27):
found that some bottles are crawling with over five hundred
units of bacteria per millimeter, compared to just fifty on
a toilet seat. Bacteria, it might be good. So I
think this is nasty bacteria. That's what they're talking about.
It's all the bad stuff. Oh that's nasty. Yeah. And

(00:47):
they say the more you refill it without washing it,
the worse it gets. Oh no, So if that thing
goes everywhere with you, make sure it hits the sink
just as often. And they say hot water, soap and
a good scrub and let it dry completely. Just rinsing.
It doesn't cut it. It doesn't do it. Yeah, so
go home. Well, this one's a pain because, like I

(01:08):
can't put it in the dishwasher. And once I can't
put something in the dish washer, I'm less inclined to
really I get to you know, I've had this story
for like a week or two, and I started the
water bottle that I use a golf I bring it home,
I use soap now, and and I scrub that thing
and I dry it and I let it sit out
and air dry the rest of the way. I mean,

(01:30):
but I give it a good rinse and soap and
everything and dry that thing. Always do that, Like how
long did you go before? Because I usually go like
three four days. Sometimes on the weekends, I would use
it on a Saturday morning and just let it sit
there and then use it to get on Sunday without
washing it. Yeah, and that's not good. They say, that's that.
Don't do that because your water bottle has more germs

(01:51):
than your toilet. May I will tell you now, we
don't know how everybody's toilet look first. Yeah, one of
the guys, Yeah, if you've got five hundred units of
bacteria on your toilet, or you might have a problem. Yeah. No. Now,
one of the guys that that I golf with, Joe,
he has a bottle, a water bottle that he keeps
in his golf bag, and it may or may not

(02:14):
contain water. It could be I'm not sure, but uh, anyway,
so that kills the germs. That's not part of the study.
That's his explanation because his wife saw it one day
and she was like, Joe, when's the last time you
washed that water bottle? And he was like, I, uh,
maybe two years. She was a good kid. She's like,

(02:34):
give me that thing, give me that thing right now.
And he's like, it's vodka, it's killing the germs or whatever.
She's give me that water bottle. I'm washing it right.
See that means a good bacteria. Because he ain't hurt,
he fine. Oh I don't know. You don't hang around
Joe like I do. I don't think he's fine. Something's
wrong with him for sure.
