This gadget is really cool. I so hate molds and its bad effects to my kids, one of my boys got a bad allergy with the toxic mold. Thanks for sharing the video on this.

Ben – I use the coat hanger trick, too. Clean it as best you can with a brush, then fill it with water and add some bleach. Let that soak for awhile and rinse it 3-4 times.

I use the ol’ freezer trick too. Another nice little idea is to take an old wire coat hanger and bend it to make a framework that keeps the bladder from collapsing on itself, keep the cap open and voila, dry bladder. That and it saves room in the freezer. Does anyone have good tips for cleaning out the bladders once the ‘goo’ does get in it? I just wash and use a bottle brush, but always wonder if it’s as clean as it should be…

We just stuff a few paper towels in them after had drying them a bit. They absorb all the remaining water and keep them from getting moldy VE’s last blog post..Exercise Gadget Junkie

The freezer! Great idea, although I pretty much “own” the freezer in the garage with all the milk jugs I keep in there for the ice chest. Putting more camping stuff in that freezer might lead to marital problems

Hey Michael – sounds like you’re in the same boat I am – dad and water-bearer!
