You are actually not supposed to do that. They are not meant for repeat use. You can never get them clean enough and will continually keep re- drinking saliva and bacteria, and heat breaks them down. So if they arent leaching chemicals in the water, the bacteria has nice little crevices to hide.

Even worse. Water bottles are PET plastic and should not be heated in the dw or micro. It breaks down the compounds even faster.

Is boiling water in styrofoam cups in the microwave unhealthy? That may explain somethings.
