How do you remove the plastic taste from new reusable water bottles?

The plastic is no good, no matter what they say. Get some stainless steel bottles, and live a long and happy life.

Fill them with straight whisky.

I would try some lemon juice first. I thought of bleach too but that seems so strong, it would be terrible if you couldn’t get rid of the bleach smell and taste.

How bout putting some fruit juice (grape,apple ??)in them and let them set in the fridge for a couple of days. Maybe that would do it.

What bottles did you buy ??
I know my Nalgene bottles never had a plastic taste nor smell, as for my Sigg’s well they are Aluminium but i can’t keep ice nor hot liquid in them . The Sigg’s keep water cold for hours even in a hot place , the Nalgene’s if frozen stay frozen for hours ( mine slowly melted in a warm.

Soak them in strong washing up liquid , use bicarbonate soda in your bottles to remove the smell/taste.
Or buy better bottles

I heard that you’re not supposed to reuse plastic bottles. That taste means that you’re actually injesting some of the plastic.

@loser I don’t think they are re-using normal bottles , i think they purchased bottles that are for this purpose .Maybe we are too late and they are already dead from poisoning

@sandystrachan Oh! Duh for me! Sometimes I just really live up to this screen name, don’t I?

baking soda and vinegar has worked for me when trying to clear out flavors. I must say though that I far prefer stainless steel bottles. Have you heard of Klean Kanteen? http://www.kleankanteen.com/
