how to wash copper bottle inside - #24775
I am really worried about my copper bottle. I bought it thinking it would be a great addition to my hydration routine, but now I’m not sure how to wash copper bottle inside properly. I've been using it for months, and I'm noticing some weird stains inside. It kinda looks tarnished or something? The label said it’s “pure copper” and safe for drinking, but I read somewhere that if I don't clean it right it could be bad for health? I just fill it with water and leave it overnight, but I haven’t actually cleaned it since I got it. I tried using regular dish soap, but I’m scared that’s not the way to wash copper bottle inside. A friend suggested vinegar and salt, but I’m not sure how that works. Do I need to rinse it? Or is there some special technique for how to wash copper bottle inside? Also, how often should I do this? Really hope I’m not ruining it, and if there are any tips on maintaining it — like what to avoid doing — that’d be super helpful! Thanks a ton, in advance!
