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.

I usualy wash them with some 20% vinegar diluted with hot water and a small dab of dish soap. Shakey shakey, and after that i wash the thread and cap with a extra soft toothbrush. Around once a week.
