    if you’re worried about microplastics, consider a stainless steel bottle. Clean Canteen is a solid brand that doesn’t put plastic films on the inside.

    but I’ve only had a ‘problem’ with rather old bottles cracking (crazing, technically,) from age. Bottle Bright might be more harsh and prematurely aging your bottle if you consistently have a problem. I just use warm water and a scrubby somewhat regularly.

    Uhh what? I have never encountered a water bottle getting chipped or leaving shavings. Are you literally making your own bottle?

      I’ve seen chipping on two black plastic Hydro Flask wide mouth lids, and it looks unsafe.

      The last time I drank out of a reusable bottle, I felt a string-like thing on my tongue, and when I grabbed it out, it was black, and way too thick to be hair. I don’t know for sure where it came from, and I’m only 80% sure it’s a problem with the bottle or lid.

      The metal version of the Hydro Flask wide mouth lid has a 1-star review about “yummy metal shavings”.
