Clean that smelly water bottle

Does your neglected plastic water bottle or bladder have that suspicious, funky smell of microcritters better found in the biology lab?  To restore that pleasing neutral smell, add a few heaping spoons of baking soda, and then fill the bottle about 1/3 full with really hot tap water.  Shake it, rinse well, and repeat if needed.
