    If you're only having water in it I don't think it matters.

    I try and wash it daily or use another one if my favorite didn't get washed.

    the one I use for the gym I find needs to be washed every day, the one I use for work, I can get away with every other or every 3rd day

    Water-just rinse and dry. Anything else-every time. I have metal bottles for hiking. I have a hard plastic shaker thingy for protein/milk. I do NOT put anything plastic in the dishwasher-makes it taste like dish soap. GAG!!!! The proper way is to wash, rinse in chlorine water (50ppm) and air dry. Kills/sanitizes and no nasty taste.

    ETA-coffee cup-occasionally- if it is not in use long enough ;-)

    When it starts to smell mildewy. Then I run it through the diswasher for a quick clean/ sanitization.

    Rinse out daily. Into the dishwasher every third day or so.

    Mine are only ever used for water.

    everyday, long time ago I watched a news broadcast about folks not washing their water bottles daily it was gross...cause the saliva would/could get caught in the creveses~ eww~ mostly the store bought bottles that folks were refilling and not cleaning in between uses

    Oh dear, I just noticed how that can be misconstrued. :devil:

    I only use water in mine and give it a rinse every time I use it. But I was away from it for a week, it was 'abandoned' on the kitchen bench for a week. When I opened it up on return it smelt bad. Warm climate though, make a bit of a difference, I guess
