    Since you have so many plastic water bottles, I’m gonna ask you, a week ago I didn’t wash my bottle right away after mixing a protein shake in it (I left it for 5 hours) and now it smells foul. And no matter how many times I wash it, the smell won’t go away. Is there something that would help?

    • Maybe! There’s a product that’s like alka-selzer for bottles. It works well for metal; I don’t know about plastic.

      However, if it were me, I’d start with putting some baking soda in it and add some vinegar. That stuff will clean clogged drains, and I don’t think it’ll harm plastic. Vinegar is sold in plastic bottles, and maybe the baking soda interaction would damage it but I doubt it.

      If you don’t want to take that risk, just try vinegar. It’s a pretty good cleanser all by itself.

      Good luck!
