Can your wash these in dishwasher? Can you sterilize the tubes between uses? I was told to store in freezer to keep it clean, IDK if that's effectiv

Not sure about the dishwasher, but a mild bleach or soap solution should work for cleaning, though the mouthpiece is really the only thing that gets any kind of filth attached to it with any frequency. I haven't heard the freezer trick, but it seems like it should work, so long as it is empty (or close to it). Though at any rate, the factory slimeguard coating is proving to be bulletproof, I have not had to clean or sterilize the inside since I bought it, nothing grows and the taste is fresh regardless of how long the water is left inside. The only situation I can think of where something might be able to get a hold inside would be if a sugary sports drink mix was used to flavor the water inside.

Wow, sorry for the delayed response. We wash ours in the dishwasher on the top rack or in the silverware tray now and then. Mostly I just wash them by hand though.

I would recommend NOT putting them in the dishwasher. After use I take a soft cotton towel and clean and dry immediately. Do not use any abrasive sponges on the stainless as it might scratch and leave swirl marks.

Unknown, but I guess so. I transferred my milk to bags so I could freeze them flat for better storage and even thawing. We have put them in the dishwasher and refrigerator over night with no issue. Sorry I could not answer your question.

I wash mine by hand. They clean up very easily and nicely without a dishwasher.Not sure if they can be put in dishwasher.

I run them through the dishwasher. We have one "assigned" to each kids and thenwash after each use. Put them in a ziploc bag with the kids name written on the bag and then re-use. We started using our first this past Spring for allergy shots three times a week. We would still have the same one if it had not been lost.

Putting them in the dishwasher will eventually ruin them ahead of their time. It primarily impacts the handles. They will last longer if you hand wash them.

I haven't tried to put them in the dishwasher... I hand wash and dry them after using them.

I almost always put them in the dishwasher. Especially if I use them to cut meat, garlic, or onions. Works great.

I never put mine in the dishwasher. I just wash with soap and water, and let it dry thoroughly. Easy peasy.

I haven't washed them in dishwasher. Just put them in Sudsy water and rinsed. Love them.

I really don't know. I don't have a dishwasher. I just stick them in the sink when done, immerse in hot water, and in minutes they scrub clean with a brush. I should think the manufacturer would mention if they were dishwasher safe or not. Maybe you can use a search engine to find out. Good luck. I love mine.

I have been washing mine in the dish washer for about a year with no problem. Just unscrew the bottle at the middle, and put in the washer in the top rack. Have not lost one, though my sister in law did washing hers by hand. Have not had any changes in the bottle or top with weekly use and dishwasher cleaning.

I have only used for medication and they seemed to have a tight seal, but I tried to wash on the top shelf of the dishwasher and they warped. If you do purchase you need to hand wash.

I, personally, have never put them through the dishwasher. The recommendation is to hand-wash them.

I've used them in a regular oven with no problems. I hand wash them, I don't think they can be put in the dishwasher.

We hand-wash ours and have had no problems. We use these for spices. This of course does not answer your question, so hopefully someone else will have used them in a dishwasher and can provide an answer.
