Sanitizing reusable water bottle

I'm not going to get involved with the debate on whether or not you need to clean your water bottle as specific times....however....there are tablets you can buy that will clean your water bottle. No brush required.

Palinka works well too.

Where I live there is a tablet you can buy to sanitize babies' bottles. The brand is Milton. It has a chlorine-y sort of smell. If you are super worried you can take a bottle brush too.

Just keep it filled with vodka, no need to worry about sanitisation.

They just need to be cleaned, not sterilized.
Solution 1) Use disposable water bottles. (Any bottled water from store.)
Solution 2). Carry a small 3.3 oz bottle of dish soap in your 3-1-1 bag. End of day, add a few drops of soap and tap water. Swish well. Empty and rinse with tap water. (Or, use a “wet wipe” to clean, then rinse.

If you are not sharing water bottles, simple rinsing with tap water is fine for a couple of days. We need to exercise our body’s immune systems.

I like JC’s answer.

No need for a special bottle cleaner. Store-brand effervescent denture tablets work fine.

They are also great for taking out coffee stains.

Are you going someplace where the water isn't potable?

Unless you have some kind of upper respiratory infection, then yes, you are overthinking this. Any liquid soap will do. Dish soap is no more effective than liquid body soap or shampoo. A few drops, add water, shake vigorously, and rinse well. Take an alcohol or wet wipe to the opening and lid, in addition, and dry. Done .

Here's how you can take along dish soap without adding to your liquids allowance.

I found a 2-pack of the cloths made by Dawn at a local grocery store by the sponges and scrubbers.

Swedish dishcloths are kind of a cross between a washcloth/dish rag and a
sponge. Here's a link to the ones I bought most recently, but there
are tons of brands and options available. At home before a trip, I cut
a full cloth into quarters, wet it and squeeze it out thoroughly, then
squirt a bunch of Dawn on it and leave it to dry on the counter. When
it is fully dry, I put it in a Ziploc. It's not liquid at that point,
so I don't need to put it in my liquids bag. I usually take a couple
for a 2-3 week trip. When I want to wash out my water bottle or stain
treat my spaghetti mishap, I just re-wet it in the hotel sink and go
to it. I try to rinse the cloth sparingly so I don't wash all the soap
out and can save it for more than one use. Although honestly, you
could take a half dozen of these and they'd barely weigh anything or
take up any room.

Mr É, Palinka could clear and sanitize clogged drains, I'm sure.

Absolutely and improves digestion and sharpens the mind.
