Is there a certain way to wash a hydration pack?

Accepted Answer

To avoid the growth of germs and mold in your hydration pack, you must clean it properly and frequently. Cleaning hydration packs is simple and just requires a few items. Take a bowl of warm, soapy water and soak the water reservoir and other detachable components in the mixture for approximately 20 minutes. Then use a flexible cleaning brush to go into the hard-to-reach areas. Rinse it thoroughly and air dry it.
