Stainless Steel Water Bottles Rule!
13 01 2008I finally got around to purchasing a stainless steel water bottle, after learning more about the dangers of Nalgene bottles.
I got mine at Whole Foods for around $25. The reason I chose this particular one over others was because the mouth on this one is big enough that I can stick a scrub brush down in there (whereas the mouth on other bottles was too small). It even comes with green cleaning instructions - one need only use baking soda or vinegar. You can get one like mine at www.enviroproductsinc.com.
My coworker recommends buying a steel bottle from the company Klean Kanteen, as they donate a portion of their profits towards conservation.
Another brand of metal water bottles I found at an outdoorsy store as well as Whole Foods was the brand Sigg. The Sigg bottles came in the most exciting designs, like classy flowers, Spongebob, pirates, and cheesy tribal tattoos. A little something for everyone!
I bought my daughter a stainless steel bottle from enviro products as well. It is great! It did say to just clean it out with water and vinegar but I put some environmentally friendly dish soap into it as well. I cannot see it becoming clean without soap.
I felt the same way! I use Seventh Generation dish soap, because the idea of doing the dishes with vinegar seems a little weird…although I’ve met people who do it! If I get brave enough to try, I’ll let you know!
