i think you can buy cleaning kits for them specifically designed to clean out the bag and air it. look on amazon.

Buy a new one and dont put any water in, just wear it... you'll never have the problem of water going off then.

 

Apparently baby water bottle stererilsing tablets work well

Don't put anything but water in, mine is fine so far, until I decide to fill it with gin

[penfold]

that'll keep it nice and fresh inside, kills off the bacteria that create the smell.

i stuck lucozade isotonic in it for the hot days, but it was really plasticy tasting just with water before that

As said, get a cleaning kit mate, they do really work well!! Google it to compare prices

[Dean Lofthouse]

but it was really plasticy tasting

 

Your supposed to suck the tube not chew it

Milton fluid for cleaning, cheaper than the fancy kits and do the job
