Your reusable water bottle is great for cutting back on single-use plastic but when was the last time you washed it?
Germs can quickly build up inside as it’s easy to put it in your bag and just keep refilling, without cleaning it.
But Carolina McCauley, from Perth, explains you need to give it a good wash and the secret to doing it without too much effort is vinegar.
Posting on TikTok, she said: ‘How to clean your bottles and make it smell fresh again.
‘Add one cup of vinegar to the bottle, fill the rest with water and soak the lids for 10 minutes.’

She also recommends leaving the bottle to soak to get rid of dirt and grime.
It’s important to give the bottle a good rinse because no one wants a drink with a vinegar tinge.
Others loved the idea but suggested using lemon juice, which has the same affect without leaving the smell or taste.
‘Thank you. I was going to toss my bottle out,’ one person said.
Another added: ‘THANK YOU I needed this so bad.’
It’s not the only recent TikTok hack to use the stuff.
Chantel Mila, who posts as @mama_mila_ shared how she makes a crease release spray to cut down on ironing using water, vinegar and hair conditioner.
She mixes them together in a spray bottle, puts some on her creased clothing and lays it out flat before hanging to dry for a few minutes.
