I hate it when people at the car wash don't wipe the *** off my steering.
Chris_ Posted November 21, 2018 Posted November 21, 2018 So true. I hate it when people at the car wash don't wipe the *** off my steering. I'm literally crying
Odinson Posted November 21, 2018 Posted November 21, 2018 So true. I hate it when people at the car wash don't wipe the *** off my steering. I know! Sometimes you're stuck in traffic and you gotta go, so you just chimpanzee that **** out the window. Always end up getting some on the steering wheel. http://forgifs.com/gallery/d/281311-2/Chimp-throws-poop-at-grandma.gif
MrJacques Posted November 21, 2018 Posted November 21, 2018 Take it from someone who lives off bottled water. Here on the plaas our domestic plumbing runs solely off borehole(and rain) water. We buy (or collect) drinking water. As a result we have several bottles and containers in rotation. We've come to realise that the mold as a result of moisture can happen pretty quickly. I've seen it visibly develop in a wet bottle in as little as 2 days. So we have a system where our jugs, containers and water dispensers are sterilized with miltons before every refill. It takes seconds to do and a sterilized container can delay mold build up significantly. The smaller bottles we use for personal drinking water we just dispose of and replace weekly. So a six pack of 500ml bottles is usually good enough for the week. Except my laaities bottles. He refuses to drink out of anything but his spiderman bottle. Luckily, he doesn't know that there are several spiderman bottles in rotation and some unused backups for when they need to be replaced. Wouldn't it be cheaper in the long run to get a reverse osmosis filter setup than buying bottled water?
porqui Posted November 21, 2018 Posted November 21, 2018 Once in a while take the tops and soak them in a weak solution of bleach for a while.
Akon Posted November 21, 2018 Posted November 21, 2018 You are alone on this one. Clean your bottles after every use. With what? Water? O wait, that is what was in it in the first place... FWIW, I am with OP!
Odinson Posted November 21, 2018 Posted November 21, 2018 Wouldn't it be cheaper in the long run to get a reverse osmosis filter setup than buying bottled water? Cheaper and less wasteful. Skollie, what do you end up doing with the bottles? Recycling?
Eldron Posted November 21, 2018 Posted November 21, 2018 you clean freaks realise there is more fecal matter on your cars steering wheel than inside your bike bottles right Yeah but I hardly ever pour water on my steering wheel and lick it off.... Mobile phones are also dirty as hell but I don't lick those either!
Butterbean Posted November 21, 2018 Posted November 21, 2018 Yeah but I hardly ever pour water on my steering wheel and lick it off.... Mobile phones are also dirty as hell but I don't lick those either!You clearly aren't sexting well enough then...
popcorn_skollie Posted November 21, 2018 Posted November 21, 2018 Wouldn't it be cheaper in the long run to get a reverse osmosis filter setup than buying bottled water? Trust me, we've tried EVERYTHING. We have a pretty sorted filter setup and to put it simply. The rate of our consumption exceeds the rate at which we can purify enough available water to drink. Our holding has more that one separate dwelling. A total of 8 bathrooms collectively.Its like Hotel Transylvania up in here. We do however save big time on rates. So in the grand scheme of things. Everyone sorting their own drinking water really is a very small price to pay.
Craai Posted November 21, 2018 Posted November 21, 2018 Not super religious about it, but do put boiling water and let it stand for a few minutes before use.Never had any issues. I have however retired a bottle when I discovered it at the bottom of my tri bag a couple of months after Ironman. Straight to the bin for that one; wasn't quite brave enough to open the lid and "experience" the smell of 2 month old Chocolate Hammer
popcorn_skollie Posted November 21, 2018 Posted November 21, 2018 Cheaper and less wasteful. Skollie, what do you end up doing with the bottles? Recycling? Yes the plastic is basically donated to the guys who collect from us and surrounds.They take it off our hands and they get paid to recycle it.
W@nted Posted November 21, 2018 Posted November 21, 2018 With what? Water? O wait, that is what was in it in the first place... FWIW, I am with OP!Water and soap (diswashing liquid). Then rinse and leave to dry. It takes less than a minute. I must say this washing of bottles was implemented after I once saw a waterbottle with a piece of snor stuck in the nozzle (not my bottle or snor). Wash those bottles please.
Eddy Gordo Posted November 21, 2018 Posted November 21, 2018 I always clean my steering wheel. Even have some wet wipes for it.
