      Reusable steel water bottles should absolutely be washed.

          Is to closed up? Bottles generally start to smell after a while. Even my Yeti cup (with lid) felt like it needed to be washed occasionally… not every day, but I don’t think I went a year. I’ll typically use normal glasses around the house and after using them for a few days they start getting cloudy. I don’t think it’ll make me sick, but if anyone were to see it, I’m sure it would look gross, so I change them out when I notice.

            It would only smell if you stick your mouth to the bottle ( the bacteria from your mouth will transfer to the bottle ). But if you drink it the other way, you don’t need to wash it ever.

        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.

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