We ignored the cold water bottle on the table

Hi

Is this sentence completely natural? Any suggestions please?

We neglected the cold water bottle on the table. Condensation took place and water seeped into the envelope and made it soggy.

Thanks,

Tom

It seems a little stiff and unnatural to me. It gives a lot of details about a minor thing, and uses rather formal words. I suggest eg We forgot about the cold water bottle on the table, and it made the envelope soggy.
