Below are three (3) different methods for cleaning your bottles using Powerizer Complete. 

1. Prepare a Concentrated Solution using one (1) full scoop in a 16 oz squeeze bottle. Use hot water when possible to help the detergent dissolve faster. This mixture can be left on your counter to replace dish soap. The solution is excellent for quick hand washing when you realize it's dirty and is needed immediately. Add a few squirts of a concentrated mixture to the outer and inner parts of the lid then focus on the mouth of the container. Next, add a squirt or two to the inside of the bottle. Fill the container with hot water and allow the solution to work its magic.

2. When food odors have become a problem, it's best to neutralize the odors by Preparing a Soak with one (1) scoop of Powerizer Complete to every one (1) gallon of water, allow the container, and the lid to soak in the solution. Make sure you submerge the bottle entirely underwater. 

3. The last option is to Sprinkle 1/4 to 1/2 a teaspoon of Powerizer Complete in the Powdered Form, then add HOT water into the bottle. Using the powder ensures the Percarbonates in the mixture are used at maximum concentration. This ingredient won't activate until the moment water enters the container.  It will remain active for up to eight (8) hours.

Below are practical tips for healthy water bottle habits.

1. Avoid using plastic containers whenever possible; instead, stick with stainless steel or a glass container.  
2. Rinse the bottle immediately after use to avoid residues to dry and harden inside the container. It can make it more challenging to clean, especially if you are using it for drinking soups or smoothies.
3. Never share your water bottle with a friend. Grab a straw or pour it into your mouth.
4. Whenever possible, purchase a wide mouth opening for reaching further down into the container.
