I think that to disinfect them, firstly we don't use any glass/steel glasses which we have drank from with our mouth into the pot again. There is a steel glass with steel handle that is bought mostly with pot whose only purpose is to take water from the pot and handle it into another containers without infecting.
Even then, every night when its time to usually refill it. We remove the remaining water and usually wash it with hands/water itself rather than brush. In my understanding if you actually brush pots, you will lose layers and you might actually generate more sediments (just a hunch)
The whole process doesn't take too much time maybe 5 minutes and then you just fill it up with any source of water you like and it costs less than a dollar or two and nearly everybody has it.
- OutOfHere 7mo agoI understand. The reason why I asked is that I have had a similarly used non-cooling glass pitcher. If I don't wash it from the inside, then after a few months it develops an invisible microbial slime layer inside which is not healthy. I can feel this layer by running my finger on the surface. Scrubbing and soap is required to eliminate the slime fully, preferably done once a month. I understand that the pot cannot be brushed. Using dish soap also may not make sense because it then takes a lot of water to fully rinse away the soap. When you run your finger on the inside, does it feel slimy at all? With a water bottle, the slime layer forms within weeks, not months, although a water bottle is different because it does touch the mouth. It is necessary to scrub and clean the water bottle every week from the inside, ideally with soap.
