How do you clean your water bottles?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

And while I may not proof all my posts carefully, I write for a living and get paid enough doing so that I will be able to retire in six more years (at age 55), and I have enough common sense to know how to clean a water bottle.
All that and you can't see the humor of making a grammatical error while talking about collage?

Sadly I'm just an accountant so I will never retire.

Put the darn things in the diswasher. No charge for the schooling.
Yes, we get it. Every generation after yours is a bunch of no good, lazy, unskilled, entitled children. Just like the one right after your parents generation. I'm 43, and have more life skills than my father will ever have, because he came from a generation where the women did everything for the family except bring home the bacon and hand out the whuppin's. BTW - congratulations for being one of the only generations in history to leave the next generation worse off than you had it, despite having several decades of unprecedented economic prosperity. Did they teach those basic financial skills at your school of hard knocks?

I melted a Camelbak bottle top in a dishwasher. I tend to just clean the bottle tops (by hand) a couple times a week and do nothing for the actual bottle. I put only water in my bottles and air dry them by inverting them in a dish rack (w/ tops removed) immediately after a ride.

The original post is akin to someone in the Touring subforum asking "How do you wash your shorts and your jerseys while on a multi-day tour?" I am not makeing that up. Several peoples have actuarily axed that. Have people really become that feeble that they can not solve simple problems on they're own and insted musk turn to the Internets for common cents ansers to easy qwestchuns?

Really? Sorry for asking if anyone had any tips for cleaning the inside of their bottle spouts, which they did. You're a clown. No one ask for this guy's help he is far too superior to us because he's not from our generation.

We are of the same generation, so give yourself a pat on the back.

That's too bad about your dad. My dad was likely of the same generation as yours. He had a lot of life and other skills. He was "from a corner" in S. Philly. His mother was a madam who ran numbers. His father, known as "The Hook," used to pull him out of school on occasion to take him to the track before he died in his late 40s. Despite a "colorful" youth, my dad put himself through college and professional school and, for a time, was one of the leading practioners in his field. And he knew how to wash dishes.

For some of us, something needs to be humerus before we can see any humor in it.

Sorry - you came across as much older in your post lol! My Dad was good at a lot of things, but helping out around the house wasn't one of them. He also somehow had 3 boys in 5 years and never once changed a single diaper. He was more of a "up at dawn, at the office by 7am, come home at 7pm" kinda guy. Thankfully he married my Mom who was pretty much Superwoman.

Water and dish soap. Sometimes I'll let them sit in a sanitizing solution that I bring from work.

I don't care if your water bottle is clean or not, but I will disagree with this statement. No hard feelings but you're wrong.
