Never paid £4 for a plastic bottle, when the old juice bottle runs out, I use that!

Might have known the self-righteous brigade would be out in force on this one. But hey, don't let the facts get in the way. I assume you were either unable to actually read the story to the end, or you were so excited at the prospect of posting your criticism on here that you chose to ignore what it said.

And I might have know that as usual you'd be here defending the hapless consumer who hasn't managed to work out how to clean a drinking bottle yet. Hey ho, life is so predictable sometimes.

I did read it to the end. The end with the link to the video which showed the customer how to clean the 'non customer serviceable part' which turned out to be perfectly serviceable

Here is 'the end'

As a response to this revelation and the disturbing photos that have come to light, Sistema has released instructional videos on how to properly disassemble and thoroughly clean each of their products. About also has a comprehensive list regarding deep-cleaning methods for sippy cups.

Two things to add:

1. Unless the child has medical tests, this does not show causality. There is no doubt a correlation, but that in itself does not prove that the bottle caused the issues.

2. They mentioned soaking it in boiling water and sterlising it every day but this allegedly didn't penetrate the compartment where the mould grew. That is also in the knowledge that mould won't grow in a vacuum and also that the mould penetrated the compartment to contaminate the fluids which were drunk. One must therefore consider that either the parents are lying, or they did not wash it thoroughly enough (OR maybe the design of the cup is weird).

It's very easy to be " perfect" on the interweb..
Useful post.

Highlighting something that people who wouldn't post might find useful.
I myself could say " anything with the chamber mechanism concealed is a bacteria trap", but it's companies who are probably pushing this at the less informed.Should they know better ?
I've never liked things that couldn't be washed in a simple manner, unless to be sterilised for babies.( even before dishwashers) .
!!!!!! lets just use cups. Unless they are babies.

We've had one for ages too, no problems, I do have a dishwasher but would imagine a soak in Milton would do the trick. I would say the one in the photo hasn't been cleaned for quite a while.

Not read the ins and out but surely a SCRUB, and soak in miltons?

To be fair on this style of cup it is very difficult to get the thing apart, before this thread I didn't think it was possible. I have used this style for years (but not the same one) did I ever think of going to the website to check if they had cleaning instructions, no why would I? I read the instructions that came with the bottle and there is no mention of this on there.

Quite agree I always though the top on this looked a bit of a bacteria trap hence why I would purchase new ones regularly. However like I said I continue to use as there is nothing better on the market to stop leaks, other makes my son just comes home with soaked books.

In the home yes but a lot of these bottles are for taking drinks to school, unfortunately a cup is not possible then.

It's not a new dilemma.
Some problems are problems, hence the screw top bottle of water.
