Tips on cleaning:
* Clean daily (or more often)
* Clean with hottest temperature available (dishwasher, boiling water rinse, etc)
* Ensure all cleansing chemicals are rinsed from the bowl
* Do not use bleach, lysol or other harsh chemicals
* Use vinegar to sanitize, and use the hot water rinse to remove the vinegar odor (vinegar will disinfect but is safer
than harsh chemicals)
Water Sources: (The best sources are those that are not manipulated or contain additives.)
* Bottled Water (best for traveling)
(usually does not have added chemicals, read the label)
* Filtered Tap Water (may remove some minerals and some filters contain additives)
* Tap or Well Water (may have added chemicals)
* Distilled Water (the latest is that this is safe to drink, but remember, distilling may remove minerals)
