Our story

The Big Picture

We don’t want to be like the average person.

That’s because the average person gets through a whopping 175 single use plastic water bottles every year which end up in landfill, in our oceans and polluting our atmosphere. And that’s not even including all the flavoured drinks we drink too…

Is my reusable even 'usable'?

But we got frustrated by how the bottles we were supposed to reuse every day were so hard to clean and maintain. They always took time/effort to clean, could only be used for water and often got pretty darn smelly.

Let's talk about why some bottles smell

It turns out over 80% of bottle users think that their bottle could be easier to clean and maintain. We wanted to solve this smelly bottle problem. After looking up the science, it turns out the unwelcome stench in your bottle is actually a build-up of bacteria primarily caused by two things…

Why the bacteria builds

Despite chlorination, tap water contains low levels of bio contamination which accumulates and grows in the moist environment between washes meaning that over 70% of reusable bottles carry bio contamination above the FDA recommended limit for bottled water. If you don’t clean or dry it properly, this can get out of hand.

You need to fully clean your bottle

A bottle needs to be thoroughly cleaned to ensure no nasties build up between washes. This is especially important for drinks other than water which might promote more bacterial growth.

You need to fully dry your bottle

The dark moist conditions inside a bottle which has not been fully dried are prime conditions for bacteria to grow and thrive. So make sure it's fully dry so that no bad smells build up when you're not watching.
