Reusable steel water bottles should absolutely be washed.

I mean it’s just storing water. You do have to wash it if you store other liquid beverages like coffee or juice. But if you use it just for water, I don’t see why it would contain any bacteria or scum or whatever.

It does (eventually) because it’s a dark wet environment you’re constantly polluting with your mouth germs.

I haven’t washed my Yeti cup in like a year and I’m not dead.

Look at patient zero over here, just being all flippant to health hazards.

It would only smell if you stick your mouth to the bottle ( the bacteria from your mouth will transfer to the bottle ). But if you drink it the other way, you don’t need to wash it ever.
