I usually clean / de-scale my 2L Nalgene like every 3-4 months. Drinking out of a toilet would probably be better for my health. What's the maximum amount of time without cleaning your reusable water bottle before it starts making you sick?

You mean clean it by filling it with vodka and getting belligerently drunk in public right?

I have two identical ones so I can leave the other one full, in the freezer. This doubles the normal amount of time I can go without giving them a once over. Working in restaurants, I have access to industrial cleaning apparatus which I use once a week. Any longer and the threads at the top become indefensibly gross. Ever wipe the top with a white napkin after a road trip and it comes away with dark orange streaks? Human beings are disgusting. Relatedly, I love the idea of camelbacks, but I could not be satisfied after two months of use that they would ever be sanitary again.

I have two, and I generally go about three days with one before putting it in the dishwasher and using the other. I also never put my mouth on the lip, preferring instead to pour the water into my big stupid open mouth from a slight distance.

like once every couple of weeks usually. I have the little rubber inserts for the wide mouth Nalgene to help control the flow so I don't make a mess of myself and those need cleaning wayyyy more often tbh tho I have like 3 32oz Nalgenes and 2 24oz bike water bottles and another 20 oz one by my computer so it's a lot to keep track of

I drank some milk in one once, as one does, and didn’t rinse it out well. It never smelled the same again.

That's when I dump the water out and rinse with hot water, but I usually don't break out the bottle brush + effervescent descaling tablets until I start wiping orange Crudd from around the Rimm.

Both of the default lids on my two 48oz 'genes are broken and in different ways. I ordered replacements from the official Nalgene site over two months ago. I finally called customer support last Friday and they assured me they'd overnight a new shipment of my order. This order was supposed to arrive yesterday and I have yet to receive my fwiggen lids!!

I have a dishwasher so if I have space for the nalgene and other bottles I put them in there. So at least once a week. I assume anyone waiting literal months doesn’t have a dishwasher??

i have a water filter that cost like 400 bucks that screws right onto a nalgene bottle and filters a L of water in about 30 seconds. its one of my favourite things I own easily. theres a video where the hipster idiots at the company that make it go to rural india and stick it in a ditch and fill a bottle and the locals literally come running and are like 'noooo don't drink that!!' but you can drink it. pretty cool.

My wife had one I made her throw away, and promise not to be gross anymore. She hadn’t cleaned it for years and the bacteria had pitted and was deteriorating the top of the bottle. She kept it at work so I normally didn’t see it. This arrived this morning!

The only time I tried washing my bottle in the D-Washer the lid ended up floppin' down onto the heating element that dries the dishes during the dry cycle. It melted / cut the lid in twain like a lightsaber. I'll try this again sans lid, thanks!

Well, let's just say they were very grateful and sometimes, maybe a little too grateful.
