Would the straw brush work to clean the straw of a child's sippy cup?

I guess it would depend on the size of the hole in the sippy cup. The straw with this set cleans a standard-sized straw hole quite well.

Sure. The drink straws that I use it for are the hard plastic ones. Plus the bristles are flexible to fit in even a bit smaller straw.

I have used it on a few straws and it works great! the bristles are soft enough that they push back and allow it to fit into a pretty small space. I can't say for certain without knowing which cup, but I have tried it on a number of water bottles with straw attachments and it really does work

Possibly. I don't have a child's sippy-cup straw. So I cannot test it. The straw brush is quite thin and flexible. The metal center is 2mm, or 1/16" wide. With the bristles included, it is 1cm, or 3/8" wide. Without the handle, it is 21cm, or 8 1/4" long. Hope that helps!

I believe so however I ended up really hating this sippy. It would constantly leak out of the straw. After my son would take a drink the pressure build up would just explode out of the straw and all over. The best sippy cup that I have found that truly is leak proof and spill proof are the Munchkin Click and Locks. Absolutely love those sippys, and they have a straw one too!

Yes this should work if you use a simple syrup (half sugar half water)and brush a little on the top.

These straw cleaners work great! Make sure to take the straw out so you can really get a good cleaning of the removable straw as well as the straw part in the top of the cup. http://www.amazon.com/Dr-Browns-Natural-Cleaning-Brush/dp/B0006BAJN6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1392151208&sr=8-1&keywords=dr+brown+bottle+cleaners

I do not know. My child used only for water. Perhaps a better model Safe sippy 2 cup with a straw?

I think they should work for any straw that is fairly straight. It is fairly flexible, so I have used it for sippy cup straws that have a curve at the top, and it manages fine.

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

It depends....my pediatrician recommended starting my son on sippy cups by his 1st birthday. I started with the sippy part and after 3 days he got it so I moved to the straw and thst only took him one day. However, this cup is horrible for the straw...yes it taught my son howto use it but the pressure bbuild-up made the milk always come up the straw and pour out all over the place. I recommend Munchkin click and lock cups, theyv have a straw cup to and no matter how many times it gets dropped it never leaks! Hope this helps.

I don't know what a TERVIS straw is, but this brush will fit through a standard size straw. I tried it on a 'hospital bendy' type straw, inch diameter, with the accordion style at the bend, and it worked perfectly The diameter of the brush at the bristles is about &#8540; inch. The bristles flex just enough to allow it to go through the straw, and firm enough to clean inside. If you have a straw with a larger diameter than &#8540; inch, it may not be as effective. I used a postage stamp sized piece of cloth or a piece of cotton to bulk up the brush. (The cloth was better, no cotton to pick out of the bristles) This is a great set of brushes.

Nope! The straw is attached to the lid. We bought a zippy cup straw cleaner as well. Hope that helps!

Yes the brush is included. I use my straw to drink my hot coffee from my Bubba insulated travel mug. It helps keep my teeth from staining and stops all lid drips onto my uniform shirt.

Yes, I believe so. There are some bumps on the other side of the brush which could clean the tongue.

I don't know about that. Mine didn't work well and we eventually tossed it. (Darn! Wish I'd kept the straw for you!)

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

hi brooke, i would think that the vacuum will do the job with its powerful brush, but the capacity is fairly small, may be a little more than a large cup. you can not go wrong with it, being it is so cheap.

Yes, a baby bottle brush would work. There are also spongers with handles that are made for cleaning glasses that would work. I put mine in the dishwasher, they come out good as new...
