Is your recyclable water bottle really clean?

About this episode

The episode discusses the cleanliness of recyclable water bottles and the importance of thorough cleaning to avoid contaminants.

Host Shirley Rooker speaks with Rick Berman, RBB Strategies, who cites numerous studies that reveal very high levels of contaminants in the majority of the bottles tested. The simple solution is to clean them thoroughly, especially the lids and the grooves in the bottles, wash with soap and water daily and put in the dishwasher at least once a week.
