Before I go hike ( what I use them for mostly )
1.) The night before, or the morning of if I have a long drive I'll rinse the bottle off really good then I'll fill the water bottle up and let it saturate. It takes about 2-3 hours to really work.
2.) When I get to the trail if I know there are a lot of good water sources i'll just dump the tap water that was in there, no reason to carry extra weight or if the water sources are rare then I will just drink the tap water in there as I go along.
3.) When I get to the stream I'll make sure I am filled up it only takes 45 seconds or so to scoop up some water.
4.) After hiking when I get home I rinse it off good with clean water (make sure to get under the cap, tip etc), you will have to follow the instructions and blow into the straw to get most of the water out of it, then I shake it off a few times spray it with a little restaurant disinfectant and leave it to dry overnight.
5.) Put it up once it's super dry, sometimes I have to leave it out for 2-3 days depending on humidity I assume.
6.) rinse repeat ( pun intended )
Some of these have a carbon filter that has to be replaced every 100 gallons or so for taste but it doesn't impact the bacteria filtering, I have a couple of lifestraws go bottles I've used for dozens of hiking trips (maybe hundreds) I've yet to replace a single straw, these things are rated at like 1000 gallons and I bought a 4 pack of bottles long ago and alternate through them.
I do carry a sawyer mini with me as well as a backup and the bag, if you are big into backpacking then these go bottle are SUPER handy to fill the sawyer bags up, often the streams are shallow and hard to fill the sawyer bag where the lifestraw bottle is way easier to use that to dump into the sawyer bag.

You can buy lifestraws themselves for like $16, but I'd get a kind you can squeeze through filter so you don't have to use the straw every time.
