There are stains on the cover that won't come off, and there are small scratches on the water bottle. I've taken pictures to show you what I can. I only used this during the summer, but it wasn't big enough, so I bought a larger one. Buying a well-known brand water bottle of this size is quite expensive... I think this could still be useful for those who only need a larger one during the summer. I've cleaned and bleached it at home. I didn't find any problems with the packing. However, please understand that this is a used item. Thank you very much ( .ˬ.)
