Plastic water jugs should typically be used for no more than 1-2 years, depending on the type of plastic and usage conditions. Over time, plastics can degrade and leach chemicals, especially when exposed to heat or sunlight. Regular inspection for cracks, cloudiness, or odors is essential to ensure the jug remains safe for use. If any signs of wear are evident, it’s best to replace the jug.

Will milk jugs sink or float in sugar water?

Sugar water is denser than plain water. A saturated solution -- it will not absorb one more gram of sugar -- is about 1.83 grams per milliter. Whole milk's density is 1.034 grams per milliliter. Thus a full jug of milk (assuming a thin plastic jug, not a heavy glass container, and no air in the jug) would float on sugar water. How far it would sink depends on the concentration of the sugar solution.

How can you clean mold from a water jug inside?

If the mold inside a water jug is old or dried on, fill the jug with hot, sudsy water and let it stand for 20-minutes. Pour in 1/3 cup dry, uncooked rice and 1/3 cup baking soda. With the lid tightly closed, shake the bottle several time. The rice will loosen the mold and the baking soda will remove odors. Carefully open the lid, and pour the contents down the drain. Fill the jug half-full of hot water, a drop of dish soap, and shake well. Pour contents out and rinse thoroughly. Allow to air-dry upside down.
