Does your Eco Drink bottle smell like mould after you use it with Eco Drink?

You definitely need to wash the bottle after each use...use a bit of soap when you do. We have never had that happen in the two years we use Eco Drink.

I have been using this product for several YEARS and drink one packet every day. I have never had a problem with the bottle or had any odor. The company offers free product if you return the used bottles to them at the end of the month. I usually wait until I have used two bottles (2 boxes of product) and return the two at one time as it is cheaper forthe shipping. The "Eco" Company will send you 6 daily packets for each bottle returned so it can be recycled.

Yes. Whenever I use this in a regular water bottle the liquid starts to smell after a short while. I suspect the bacterial fauna from remnant saliva is reproducing. I found that the smell got worse over a period of time, indicative of gas production from bacteria as a product of ecodrink nutrients being used as a medium for replication.

That will depend on what type of fog juice you use. I have tried several including mixing my own and I haven't had any problems with smell.

Ours smelled like new plastic for the first couple days but the smell faded quick. Everything that could went through the dishwasher on steam setting and the entire thing got wiped down with lysol wipes.

Not sure if you are supposed to boil these. And if you've already done it, I'm not sure why you're asking. And yes , plastic bottles smell like plastic.

I didn't notice any smell to it besides the normal "plastic" smell. I am not using it for water containment so I did not really pay that much attention to it. Maybe soaking it with water and vinegar and then letting it air out with the top off would get rid of the smell?

Mine did not smell. But I purchased the frog and it did. I sent it back. I also purchased another item, a chew chocolate bar. Smelled strong of plastic but I liked it so much I thought I'd try and wash it first. That worked. Turned out it was the packaging was the problem.

Every distiller I've ever owned has produced an odd smelling product.. I've owned this unit for a while now but maybe the odd smell/flavor I'm experiencing the same as other distillers (including all stainless steel models). I run my distilled water through a brita to remove the odd smell/flavor. Even store bought distilled water is run through carbon to remove the odd flavors. perhaps this smell you folks are talking about is different than the one I experience and only applies to the ones manufactured after the one I purchased.

Mine has no smell at all. Completely orderless. I have purchased 2 bottles, and no problems with either!

Yes. The bottom gets disgusting and is impossible to clean. I hace switched to the soda stream and find that I like the bottles much better

Yeah, the same thing happened to me. I just kept using the bottle, and I didn't notice any ill effects on my health. If you want you could try to clean it with a tooth brush and some soap. You will have to cut off the plastic ring on the water spout if you want to get in there though.

It doesn't sound like it. I have never noticed an odor using this product. When I smell the odor in the bottle, it smells very light. I am sorry that you have had a bad experience with it.

No, I haven't noticed any odor. How long have you been using it? Have you ever cleaned the filter? Sometimes mold can build up in the tank itself. I had that happen with my old dehumidifier. I used to clean it out with a diluted bleach solution to remove any mold build up. Hope this helps! Let me know if it doesn't,,,I will be on the lookout for that happening in mine. Good Luck J. Young!

Fortunately I didn't have an issue with the mugs smelling like plastic at all. I washed the lids by hand really well before using them though.

I purchased one for my parents home that at one time didn't have a vapor barrier under the subfloor and mold formed on the underside of the wooden floor. This in turn caused a moldy smell in the house at all times. But the green machine has eliminated that smell. Did it kill the mold under the subfloor? I doubt it, but no more moldy odor or health effects from it.

My wife and I haven't noticed any smell or after taste from use of this bottle. We did wash it thoroughly before first use.

I've had my manatea for about two weeks and I've never had any problems with a plastic smell. I agree with Maryann, vinegar might work but then you'd have to wash it a couple times to get ride of the vinegar smell. It couldn't totally work though.

When I received it the bottle was destroyed in the mail and they were out of stock so I got a refund I never got a chance to use it but I do not recall any smell when I opened it
