Brilio.net - Drinking bottles are equipment that is used almost every day, both when traveling and when doing activities at home. Because they are used so often, many people do not realize that the inside of the bottle can become a nest for germs and moss if rarely cleaned.

The slim and tall shape of the bottle often makes the inside difficult to reach, especially if the stains are stubborn. This makes some people feel that cleaning the bottle is a time-consuming job.

Although there are many bottle brushes sold on the market, it turns out that not many people know that there is another way that is simpler and more cost-effective. A netizen shared this bottle cleaning trick via an Instagram upload @idebekalsekolahku and managed to steal attention.

No need for a brush, just 1 kitchen ingredient

This trick relies on just one kitchen ingredient that is almost always available at home, namely rice. This ingredient was chosen because its texture is rough enough to scrub the inside of the bottle, but still safe and does not damage the surface.

To practice, simply put a tablespoon of rice in a bottle with a little dish soap. Add enough water to fill half the bottle, then shake vigorously for a few seconds.

The process of shaking the bottle helps the rice rub against the walls of the bottle, so that moss and dirt also fall off. After that, pay attention to the color of the water in the bottle, if it has changed to cloudy, it means that the dirt has been successfully removed.

This step can be repeated two to three times for maximum results, especially if the stain has been stuck for a long time. Once it feels clean enough, throw away the contents of the bottle and rinse with clean water until there is no soap or rice left.

This trick is suitable for various types of drinking bottles, both plastic, glass, and stainless steel. In addition to being cheap, this method also does not scratch the surface of the bottle like when using a rough sponge.

Tips to keep bottles durable

So that the bottle remains durable, make sure you wash it regularly after every use, especially if it is used to store sweet or milky drinks. Drying the bottles in the shade also helps prevent mold growth.

Stainless steel bottles with smooth inner layers are usually more durable and do not easily smell. This type of bottle is also more heat resistant, suitable for storing drinks such as coffee or tea.

Cleaning bottles regularly is not only about appearance, but also maintaining the health of its users. "These tips for cleaning bottles without a special brush can be tried at home," wrote the account @idebekalsekolahku.

Hopefully this simple trick can help you keep your bottles clean without any hassle. Good luck!
