I have discovered mold and mildew growth on my LifeStraw Go Series water bottle, mouthpiece, or filter. What do I do?

Mold or mildew growth can be addressed with a simple overnight cleaning following these steps:

• Remove the filter from the bottle.

• Remove the carbon capsule from the top of the filter.

• Soak the membrane microfilter overnight in a diluted bleach solution. Use ¼ teaspoon of bleach per 2 Cups of water (5 ml of bleach to 500 ml of water).

• Soak your mouthpiece in a similar bleach disinfectant solution.

• Wash the bottle, lid and mouthpiece with detergent.

• Thoroughly rinse the membrane microfilter with water after soaking overnight. Do not use soap to clean the filter body.

• Reassemble
