  Cleaning my camelback

  Hi!  I have a Camelback which doesn't get nearly enough use.  However, on those wondrous occasions when I actually do get enough outdoor exercise to use it, here's how I clean it, dealing with how the bladder want to stick together when wet.

  First, I remove the mouthpiece, turn it to open position, and clean it, and keep it in a retrievable place. Then, after cleaning the Camelback Bladder, I just stick a clean/re-used little yogurt container through the opening and slide it down until the bladder stops sticking together.  I hang the bladder upside down by where the hose meets the bottom of the bladder(yogurt container is now up, near the hose entry to the bladder). I might need to wipe out a bit of water in lowest point before storing, but this way the hose and bag both dry nicely.  Then I re-attach the mouthpice and put the thing away, wide open, little yogurt thingy still in place so air can circulate.    

  Hope this helps.  Happy Hydrating!On Umbra on Camelbaks posted 1 year, 10 months ago 16 Responses
