Game Day Ready: Do You Air Dry Your Water Bottles?

Finally – The football season is here! Whether it’s Pop Warner, Friday Night Lights, College Football, or even NFL games, every level of the game has one thing in common: players gotta stay hydrated.

It’s easy to stay hydrated, but not so easy to stay healthy when you drink from dirty, moldy, stinky water bottles. Whether it’s that water bottle at the bottom of a back pack, gym bag or cup holder in a hot car, it’s common to overlook cleaning those bottles. But keeping them clean, including drying between use, is critical to avoid filling your body with bacteria-ridden hydration.

Water Bottle Stagnant Moisture: The Hidden Opponent

After a long practice or big game, it’s easy to toss your bottle in the gear bag and let it "air-dry." The problem? Narrow-neck bottles, protein shakers, and squeeze bottles don’t truly dry on their own. Moisture gets trapped in tight spaces, giving bacteria and mold a perfect place to take hold.

The Hygiene Playbook

Just like you train your body to stay healthy, your bottle needs its own regimen too:

1. Wash after every use - clean out your leftover sports drink or protein drink before it turns into a science experiment.
   

2. Dry completely - don’t leave moisture for mold to develop.
   

3. Be consistent - good bottle care is year-round, just like conditioning.
