<\/a><\/p>\nHere is the offending bottle.<\/p>\n
Your tools for this cleaning project are simple and include baking soda, boiling water and a large spoon.<\/p>\n Carefully put one spoonful of baking soda in your stainless steel vessel. This measurement is not exact. This is not a cake, it’s just a way to clean your favorite drinking bottle.<\/p>\n If you are like me, you will also need to clean up the water that spilled all over the counter and the floor.<\/p>\n Once your vessel is filled with water there will still be baking soda on the lip, but don’t worry. Simply place the lid on and get ready to shake.<\/p>\n Shake your container for one full minute. Think of it as cleaning and exercise all in one!<\/p>\n Now, put your vessel on the counter to rest overnight or for at least eight full hours. No peaking. After eight hours pour the dirty baking soda water out.<\/p>\n Grab your dishwashing soap, bottle brush (if you have one) and more very hot water.<\/p>\n You get the idea.<\/p>\n I like to use biokleen because it is chemical free and it doesn’t leave a residue behind.<\/p>\n Fill the container back up with boiling water.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>Now add the very hot water.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
