Do you put it in the dishwasher with the sleeve on? If not, how do you take it off?

Their website says this "bottle and sleeve are dishwasher safe". I always wash mine by hand so I can't say by experience how well it does in the dishwasher. I have never taken the sleeve off as it doesn't seem too easy to do so, but if you pulled enough it would come off.

The sleeve comes on and off easily with a small dab of dishwasher soap. And yes the bottle can go into the dishwasher just fine. I hand wash the lid.

The sleeve comes off by simply adding very warm water to the bottle to soften the sleeve and then rolling the sleeve off the bottle. Reverse is the same. If necessary, do this under warm running water or in a sink of warm water.WARNING: Others have noted to use soap. Do this at your own risk! The bottles are extremely slippery with soap on them and it is very easy to drop. Have replaced a bottle because of this. If you do use soap, hang on to the ring and do not let go of it. Would also be good to do in the sink as well.

Yes, you put it in with the sleeve on. The sleeve isn't meant to be removable.

The sleeve IS removable for cleaning, although I wouldn't recommend doing it too often. The sleeve can be rolled down onto itself on the outside of the bottle. If the bottom is primed with hot water the increased elasticity helps. A drop of soap helps with the slipping off of the sleeve once you get past the widest part.

I just put it in the dishwasher or rinse it off. I don't think it comes apart.

I never wash mine in the dishwasher. I usually just wash it by hand. It's fairly easy to clean and I use it so often, it's more trouble than it's worth to put it in the dishwasher. Regardless, I would assume it would drain out and dry after pouring the water out of it after the cycle. I would give it plenty of time to air-dry before putting it back on the unit.

Yes, but it's not easy to get back on again. You can put it through the dishwasher with the sleeve on. The only reason I removed it was because I dropped the bottle and wanted to make sure it wasn't cracked. (It wasn't.)

Sorry I can't help you as I have never put it in the dishwasher. It is so easy to just rinse it clean when it is in the sink.

I have not put in dishwasher. I'd rather not damage it. I wash it with sponge, dish washing liquid and water.

I just rinse mine off - don't want to risk white paint coming off thru an entire wash cycle in the dishwasher. It's just cheap plastic.

I wash it by hand with the rubber sleeve still on most of the time... bottle brush helps. I will take the sleeve off once a month to wash it even though I don't think it's completely necessary. When taking the sleeve off I pull off the bottom part first then pull the whole piece off over the opening. Getting the sleeve off is pretty difficult but doable. The rubber sleeve is really durable so sometimes I'll get a guy without manicured nails to handle it if needed....most of the times though I handle it fine.

Don't put in the dishwasher - the more delicate you handle it the longer it'll last. Wash with soap and water, dry immediately and it will stay in great condition!

Either wash it or put it in the dishwasher! You don't have to take it apart.

I've never put it in a dishwasher. I figure spinning water out of salad, it's pretty safe just to rinse and wipe off.

I find it best to handwash it with mild soapy water. I wouldn't want the harsh dishwasher soap to rub off the details!

Do you know that the clear plastic outer sleeve comes off? There is a small button on the side to release it.

When you wash/rinse you can get in the corners, the sleeve has some give to it. I only put water in my bottles so I've not had to worry about other liquids getting trapped underneath the sleeve. I've never taken the cover off, it could get worn out but as I stated earlier it is loose enough to clean between the bottle and the sleeve, if need be

I have other sleeves and I just rinse them out with warm water and let them air dry. I have done the same with this one. I would not recommend washing in a machine.
