I must confess, I've had my Camelbak for 2 years, but I've never really cleaned it. I mean, I rinse it out after every use, but I didn't have anything to actually clean out the tube. It's been looking pretty dirty lately, so I broke down and bought the cleaning kit.
It comes with a toilet brush and a super long pipe cleaner. I paid entirely too much for this kit.
Just take the mouthpiece off, and jam the pipe cleaner into the tube as far as it will go. All of the dirt will be stick to the bristles and it will magically be clean.
This is what it looked like after the first pass. GROSS! I've been drinking that dirt for months. You can't really tell from this picture, but it was the color of my favorite flavor of Zipfizz, orange.
