Sigg bottle smelling funky

[EllasMum]

I only use our Sigg bottle for water. I do have the (bad) habit of leaving water in it, sometimes for a few days at a time. I always wash it with hot water and soap and it usually comes clean/fresh smelling. Lately, I've noticed that the bottle and the cap have a slightly moldy/mildewy smell. Any suggestions for getting rid of this? Can I boil the cap (it's a sports cap) or maybe stick it in one of those sanitizing microwave bags?

TIA!

Target has the sigg cleaning tablets on clearance right now. Maybe try that?

I get that smell sometimes. It means it's time to wash it. :p

The smell is post-washing. :( I dumped some baking soda in the bottle and filled it with hot water. That helped the bottle, but I discovered that the rubber seals/gaskets on the lid are what smell! I'm going to try the baking soda trick with the cap, too, to see if it helps. It's pretty gross. :(
