Dad Warns Parents About Troubling Find Inside Popular Water Bottle Brand

. . .Something most people probably don’t do enough of is clean their reusable water bottles. While scrubbing them with hot water and soap is beneficial, there could still be sneaky mold hiding in places the naked eye wouldn’t catch.

Although some water bottles aren’t designed to be taken apart to clean, one worried dad is warning parents to diligently examine the bottles their kids regularly drink out of after he discovered a gross amount of mold in some of his Yeti bottles.

In a TikTok video, Jason Sullivon explained how he rotates the bottles his daughter uses each day, but noticed that they weren’t getting as clean as they should be. “I contacted Yeti to ask how to clean them properly, since they are not designed to be taken apart,” he explained in his video.

Sullivan said that Yeti advised boiling the bottles in hot water for 5-10 minutes. “After doing that, this is what they looked like when they came out,” he said while showing the camera visible mold underneath the rubber seal where the straw inserts.

“If you’re using these types of bottles, especially for children, make sure to check them regularly. There could be hidden buildup or contamination you might not notice,” he warned. (Read more from “Dad Warns Parents About Troubling Find Inside Popular Water Bottle Brand” HERE)
