Ditto .. to all the responses. The wire brush is for cleaning the metal straws. It's super handy !

Yes, it is in fact a wire brush that you receive to clean the inside of the straws.

I think if you flip it over to expose the brush there should be some screws that can loosen to remove the plastic opening around the brush. Make sure it's unplugged. Or just pull out the build up of hair etc. by hand.

Yes, the straw is not water tight (for obvious reasons), so it will leak both around the straw and through the straw itself.

Push the straw up and firmly attach it to the hole in the center at the bottom of the cannister cover.Hope this helps.

The "straw" is made of stainless steel I'm pretty sure (or some other kind of metal) so you should be fine. I love mine and have had it for 5 months now. Hope that helps.

I think is good to wash it by hand using the straw cleaner so u make sure nothing stays inside

I measured 1/4" at the opening. There is a little ridge about an inch from one end ( to keep the straw from pulling out)

they fixed this problem. the wire no longer sticks out of the wand where it would fray apart. now it is secured through a hole in the wand in a loop. yay!

I am always amused when someone indicates that the straws are "too long" as though that were a problem. The top section is a bendable/accordion style flexibility. It is certainly easier to cut off whatever length you need to from the bottom, then it would be to try to add to the length of the straw. Really, would you expect a long straw to be short when you're looking for a long straw

The size of the straws are 10.5 inches long. And the cleaning brush is 12" inches long

I just use the munchkin bottle brush with the suction stand. Plus get the tiny brushes so you can clean in the straw!

I use a straw brush. I found three kind of sizes so it's easy to clean! We have Japan cenetr here and they have one but I don't know at any store to buy.

I bought a set of 4, 12" x 3/8" Nylon Straw Brushes by ProTool through Amazon that are perfect for cleaning the straw that comes with this tumbler. The brushes are long enough to reach the entire length of the straw and they are full enough to clean without the need to wiggle it around to reach the entire interior. I love these brushes! They are great for any reusable straw.

I am not sure. You might want to contact customer service at thermos, or checkout the thermos website for more info. I can tell you that the straw is a good sturdy long lasting straw that is super easy to clean. I cant see it needing a replacement if properly washed.

It does not leak out of the lid or the rubber grommet. Its a water tight fit. The straw is hard to get in the grommet tho. You have to get it wet first and twist it while you push it in the lid. Liquid will come out of the straw tho, but that part is expected. We love the lids.

There is a measuring line on the water cup that is provided with the cleaner and regular water is fine. Make sure the water does not go above the "cross bars" in the filling .

Yes, there's a cleaning brush in the box. Double sided for nipples and the straw...
