How do you wash this bottle?

The bottle itself can go in the dishwasher. It doesn't need much, depending on what you put in it; if all you use is water, you only need to wash the top part.

I purchased a soft bristle bottle brush. If you are worried about scratching - which you shouldn't - you can cover the bristles with a washcloth/dishcloth. Use a mild dish soap put a drop in with some hot water and shake, clean with the brush and rinse twice. You should be good to go then!!

When it was new I rinsed it with 50/50 water and vinegar to clean it the first time. I usually just put a little dish soap in it now "just a drop or two" fill it half full of water, shake it really good and rinse a few times.

I usually soak, or try to rinse as soon as I use it, then use a bottle washer when I wash it. The one is have was made for baby bottles, so it doesn't fit all the way in, but you can get thin ones.

We use ours only for water. We wash it by hand with soapy water. The opening is probably big enough though that you could use a baby bottle scrubber if you felt necessary.

It's pretty easy, I use some soap and water and shake up the bottle and then a sponge for the mouth and cap. I also have one of those water bottle wand cleaner things (like a brush on a stick) so I can clean it better if I have anything besides water in it. I mainly use this bottle for water only, so it hasn't been a problem getting it clean.

We run ours through the dishwasher with the bite valve open. We then rinse, especially under the valve disk. We also ocassionally spray bleach in the spout before washing. So far so good, but we only use our bottles for water.

I feel that it is fairly easy - I use my bottle for water only. What I normally do is put a little dish soap in it and rinse it with hot faucet water. I currently do not have the brush you can purchase to clean it. That might be a better solution to what I am doing currently, but I have had my bottle for about 4 months now and there is no mildew growing and I can get the bottle clean with my method.

Bit of dish soap and steaming hot water. Shake it up and pour out like you would pour out coffee. Also use a baby bottle brush if needed to get to the very bottom if stuck on gunk. Key is to rinse immediately with water after use to avoid smells.

I haven't washer mine yet. When I do wash it, I'll put it in a bucket with cold water and some mild soap, and swish it around. Air dry. It'll be fine.

Best you can do is rinse it right away after a pitcher is finished and it comes very clean in the dishwasher if you have one. No bottle brush I found can get into the handle, I can't stand the design of it for that reason. I also put a drop of dish soap, few inches of water, cap on and shake hard.

I just use a bottle brush to clean the inside. I got one the size that goes in there easily. Otherwise, I just rinse it with regular soap and water.

I just rinse it out with hot water and a brush. How else would you do it? Not in the dishwasher for sure.

Hello. I slide the cover back, squirt a little dish soap on it and rinse it with hot water, then run it through the dish washer.

You have to remove the part where the liquid comes out. Gently squeeze and pull out. Then rinse.

just rinse it well when you empty it, DONT wait. then when its time to wash, put about 4 inches of hot water in it and add a small squirt of dish soap. screw on the lid and shake hard for about 30 seconds. rinse well and done. no stains, no leftover smell. i've had my pair for over 3 years. i use them for iced tea and iced coffee year round.

So far I just wash it out with soap and water but plan to run vinegar water thru it soon. Haven't had it that long.

I just use soapy hot water and hand wash it. I suppose it can go into the dishwasher, but since it's so small, I hand wash. I also use paper towels to soak up the oil before I wash it.

I haven't had that happen. The sleeve is removable so it can be removed and washed separately. Also, the bottle with sleeve can go in the dishwasher. I LOVE this bottle.

I usually soak it for a minute or two in soapy water, rub it with my hands, and then rinse well. And, you can put them in boiling water to sanitize.
