Thank you. This was helpful.

[@dealman3312]

great tip. I fill my glass bottle up at a local spring. I'm going to try this out

[@MrOptima]

Thanks for this video. It was exactly what I needed to see. Since I already have a bottle of hydrogen peroxide 3%, this will make my life easy for disinfecting my bottles.

[@manganese333]

Thanks! I will try this.

For 30 years, we used salt & icecubes to clean all coffeepots every morning. It . disinfects, inexpensive, non-toxic & it works.

DAMN! nice tip! 👌

[@dragonfly9415]

also, when peroxide (H2O2) is left in the sunlight, it turns into water ..so bonus! but how often should you clean your jugs?

[@jrmr6282]

Okay for the layman, what is one part to 40 parts for a 5 gallon jug? It would have been nice to be told me how many tablespoons per gallon

[@smokelotsofweed420]

think he meant ratio, 39 parts water and 1 part bleach

[@rbs2303]

Would using rubbing alcohol and water do the job?

[@robertnordeen4631]

Do not cap bottle after you rinse with hot water!!!!
I did that in winter. Put jug in car and went for a ride. Boom. Must of been the big hill I went up or something. Scared the jeepers out of me. Jug had big hole in it.

[@nategarcia3476]

About like 4 or 5 hours

[@nategarcia3476]

I left my water in the heat my 5 gallon jug is it still safe to drink

[@battlefox8460]

I would say no cause I did that and I ended up later having algae forming in the bottom of the 5 gallon water jug and that's why I'm here lol to find out how to clean that stuff out

[@karenbarrows6127]

Can't hear you at sll

[@proboy1121]

How Sterile was the Palm of your hand ? ? Seems to me that using your hand during the rinse you reinfected the Bottle ! !

[@williamwatson3567]

I played the end back, several times, and Still don't Understand What He Said at the End.. ( " remember- Water ........ ........... ...) "
The audio / Recording on this Video was Lousy...
Echoes.... Volume to low, distant.... I was just Hoping to hear about " Cleaning Out Algae Growth....from inside of the Plastic 5- Gallon Jug".
And I Don't Plan to Use Any Kind of " Soap " that leaves a fragrance / taste.

Completely skip putting the lid on and removing it

[@goxyeagle8446]

I guess his hand is clean lol

[@michaell7877]

your volume is really bad

[@Nick210]

Christ. You NEVER want to clean a wound with hydrogen peroxide!

[@MichelleOhio]

I was thinking the same thing! Bad plan.

[@franciscoa3978]

What this is misinformation

[@jandia5162]

One of the best for wounds

[@rigorocks23]

as a working man who has never gone to the hospital. for the cuts or holes I've put in my body, I pry open the wound and soak all of them in peroxide and alcohol. the alcohol helps to remove any grease,oil, dirt that gets in there. I then run a bunch of peroxide through it and I have only had 1 cut get infected. i took a torch to a razor blade for a minute and reopened the cut. i cleaned it with peroxide. a couple days later good as new

[@clownman9859]

i used glue for a band-aid

[@henrikaize]

use hot water to kill he bacteria

[@FoxHoundUnit89]

Hot water + plastic + soap = everything that comes out of that bottle tastes like soap forever, because it's now bonded to the plastic itself and you can not remove it.

[@MichelleOhio]

@@FoxHoundUnit89 You don't have to use soap...just hot water.
