Do Unwashed Water Bottles Contain More
Bacteria Than Toilet Seats?
Cutting down on disposable water bottles by turning to a reusable water bottle is great and all, but are you guilty of not washing it? It’s so convenient to grab and go—and when you get back home after a long day, you tell yourself you were the only one using it. That means it’s basically clean… right?
Hmm… wrong. Turns out, if you wouldn’t lick a toilet seat, you shouldn’t drink out of a dirty water bottle.
Why a toilet seat specifically? Because according to a study conducted by WaterFilterGuru.com, your water bottle could be carrying up to 40,000 times more bacteria than the average toilet seat.
But that’s not all. After carefully swabbing all these items three times (and different types of water bottles), the research shows that the average reusable water bottle has 14 times more bacteria than the average pet bowl, five times the bacteria found on the average computer mouse, and two times the bacteria found in a kitchen sink.
