For my daily use… I always rinse with soap and warm water and a brush.

And often I also scould the bottles by filling them with boiling until the point where the water keeps running over the top.

The caps goes in the top section of the dishwasher with the seal ring.

Havent tried the tabs and the sigg brush cause I cant find a dealer in Denmark.

Like the flawed science that told us we could ‘get’ high cholesterol from eating things which ‘contained’ cholesterol, (the humble egg was ostracized for a time!) this is another fallacy based on misinterpretation and laziness.

The ’8 glasses’ study, from the late ’40s has been taken out of context so often, it’s now regarded as fact when it is no such thing. We get most of our water needs from our food. We also get water from tea and coffee (ANOTHER myth here, yes, coffee and tea are diuretics, they make you wee, they make you lose water, but you’d have to EAT a bucketful of coffee beans or tea-leaves in order to lose the amount of water present in ONE cup of tea or coffee!)

In short, if we exert ourselves, we SHOULD drink more. But most of us sitting in offices don’t need more than a couple of glasses of water (or equivalent!) per day.

There is no ‘silver bullet’ for health!
