Any tips for cleaning a CamelBak bladder. I see you can get tablets but I won't have enough time to buy them before I go on Saturday. Any holdhold remedies I could use?

Stuff for cleaning babies bottles will work.
Or if theres a homebrew shop nearby the stuff us brewers use to clean bottles etc is just fine too.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I suppose you have to be very polite to the camel for a start!

Trade secret....
- pour approx 1cm of vinegar or lemon juice into a plastic film canister.
- take a peice tissue paper and separate it so that it is single ply
- carefully place over the canister
- carefully place 1tsp of Bicarb on the tissue paper
- place lid on firmly (it is essential that the bicarb doesn't come into contact with the vinegar)
- Tip canister over quickly and stand back....
Safety DO NOT stand over the canister.

well i'm sure a camel is very much like a cow, i saw Hugh Fearnley–Whittingstall doing it and it consisted of lots of water and then lime soda or something like that.............smells a bit mind!

We use Milton (baby bottle cleaner) for ours. If its really grotty you may need to fill it with a Milton solution and leave it overnight. Works well.

BOD, Go to your local pub and ask if you can have or buy some pipeline cleaner (it's what they use to clean out the beer pipes) BUT be very careful with it and follow the dilution instructions. If your near me send me a pm and I'll give you some

I was fascinated by pyrotechnics as a kid. I blew up an air raid shelter once - well underground brick one. Shot me 10 feet through the air, scorced earth in a fan shape at the entrance steps and 2*6 foot of panel fence converted into matchsticks. Petrol vapour  My best other was an abandoned quarry building blown up with a little pipe bomb - big bang hehehe. Think the nails were overkill though.

Axsman - fair point and orignal post duly edited.
Michael - it wasnt fun at the time, I was kinda being stubborn with the local cop - the other kid was wailing like a banshee - it is not like it was a new shed you could see through it before we started. However as the cops pointed out it was not our property to demolish - plus it was made of white or blue asbestos tiles so doubly stupid blowing it apart.

Camelbak do sell proprietory cleaning tabs, brushes and things to keep the bladder open to dry. All very over priced.
1) Don't let it get gungy - rinse thoroughly after every use and use the drinking tube in a loop pushed into the bladder to keep the sides apart to dry.
2) Milton, or similar, is a fine steriliser.
3) Have a good look at the mouthpiece - mine developed an interesting and hard to shift mould. Household bleach used neat shifted it.
Some users swear by Steradent tablets as used for false teeth for cleaning/sterilising.
