Brilio.net - Plastic bottles are often the main choice for carrying drinks because they are light and practical. The ease of carrying plastic bottles anywhere often makes them a favorite among many people, from school children to office workers. However, repeated use without proper care can cause a stubborn unpleasant odor, especially when the bottle is not cleaned immediately after use.

Bad odors in plastic bottles are usually caused by leftover drinks that are left behind and starting to decompose. Drinks such as milk, juice, or coffee, if left too long in plastic bottles can leave residue that is difficult to remove with regular washing. Bacteria and fungi that grow from the remaining drinks also contribute to the appearance of bad odors.

This not only makes the bottle uncomfortable to use, but can also have a negative impact on health if not handled properly. Many people then try to wash it with soap. Even though soap alone cannot effectively remove the unpleasant odor. Well, to be more effective, you can use a trick from YouTube user @Gianola Vlog.
