nami can fit bottles ranging from 1.5"-3.5" in diameter, and up to 12" in height (most standard reusable bottles fit within this range). our alpha prototype can clean simple screw top lids even in the deepest threads, and future testing needs to be done on all types of lids available— including straws.
what contributes to bacterial growth inside reusable water bottles?
what contributes to bacterial growth inside reusable water bottles?
bacteria grow in reusable water bottles due to constant moisture, exposure to many environments, and infrequent cleaning. using bottles for sugary drinks leaves residues that serve as food for bacteria, and scratches or cracks inside the bottle or around the lid provide places for bacteria to hide and grow. biofilms can form on surfaces, making cleaning more difficult and increasing contamination risks.
