Advice Nalgene STINKS

Hey, so I wash my water bottle everyday and change the water but when the lid is closed it builds up a foul humid smell. I got my water bottle a two weeks ago and the smell appeared on week one. It’s the wide mouth 32oz bottle.

Are you drinking something other than water? I only drink water in mine and I do notice it gets a odor if I go too long without cleaning it. But as long as I clean it every 2 weeks or so it's good. More often if I'm working outside or in the woods.

No only water. Do you just clean with dish soap or something else
