Hello again, This is a record, two posts in two days!!!! This time I have a solution instead of a problem. Regarding algae in waterbottles, instead of buying one of those brushes that never get all of the stuff anyway, I used a simple paper towel. Here's how. Fill bottle about 1/2 full of water then add a couple of drops of dish detergent, fold up a single sheet of paper towel into a rectangular shape and insert it into bottle. When towel is fully wet, empty out all but 1/2 a shot glass (for lack of a better measure) of soapy water and then shake towel inside of bottle until all of the algae is removed. Add some water to shake out paper towel then rinse till no more soap bubbles can be seen. This method has always worked for me and the addition of soap helped to keep recurrence of the algae to a minimum. Ahhhhhhhh, I feel better already not having told you of another danger around the house!!!! Hugsandkissestothefuzzies Daniel Poryanda [Posted in FML issue 2306]
