How does it reduce dishes? Water bottles are one of the more annoying things to wash, in my experience, because my hands aren't small enough to fit anymore.

Edit: Yes, I have a bottle brush. It's just that it's a bit of a hassle to soap it from dry and then have to dry it somewhere before storing it again. I wash everything else with a rough sponge normally.

Get a metal one and put it in the dishwasher. Or get a bottle brush.

Also, occasionally filling it with white vinegar and letting it sit overnight can help clean deposits.

ETA: In general putting plastic in the dishwasher is not advised.

I see you've never had a partner with ADHD! Going around collecting all the half-drank water glasses in our household used to be a full-time job.

[–] radix@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have not! In fact, I'm usually the one carrying around water glasses because they're less hassle to drink from and far easier to (visibly) clean than any other vessel is. I try to limit myself to two or three in the house though...

[–] TurboDiesel@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Unfortunately we're both the problem, so there would just be glasses EVERYWHERE. Carrying one bottle around just made more sense

[–] Piecemakers3Dprints@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Use a bottle brush. 🤦🏼‍♂️

[–] radix@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's a pain to take a tool out (and wait for it to dry) just for one or two bottles.

[–] Piecemakers3Dprints@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

You're not serious. 😬

It's a brush. Shake it vigorously for 10-20 seconds and it's dry enough. FFS. I hope you're not serious.

It's not necessary to wash water bottles.

[–] radix@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Reusable steel water bottles should absolutely be washed.

[–] clumsyninza@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I mean it's just storing water. You do have to wash it if you store other liquid beverages like coffee or juice. But if you use it just for water, I don't see why it would contain any bacteria or scum or whatever.

[–] radix@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

It does (eventually) because it's a dark wet environment you're constantly polluting with your mouth germs.

I haven't washed my Yeti cup in like a year and I'm not dead.

Look at patient zero over here, just being all flippant to health hazards.
