Spin well after rinsing in tap water and let air dry. Rinse with light water/vinegar or water/hydrogen peroxide solution at least 2X week and let air dry. I was afraid to try the dishwasher, but after reading answer #2 below, I will try that too.

I use my sonic jewelry cleaner. But each time I use the brush, I make sure it is rinsed thoroughly and spin it dry.

I just rinse them off and once a week I pour some peroxide on them. I do the same with my toothbrushes too.

Since I am the only one that uses my brush I don't really do much. Just rinse the brush in hot water and let it air dry.

Dan, I have found that soaking the brush in hot water and dishwashing detergent first helps. You're right, simply trying to handwash it right away doesn't work. I've found that using the brush to "wash" out a small dish with detergent works. It's worth the trouble; this is the best basting brush I've ever used.

I just use a soft brush and warm water with a little bit of an organic cleaner (I use Amway's SA8). Sometimes just wiping them down with warm water and a soft cloth works.

Try a bottle brush? I'm not sure as I haven't cleaned it yet but that's what I'll try.

We clean ours with a non abrasive sponge cleaner that holds soap. The scrubbing brushes that hold soap in the handle work fine.

Clean with a anti bacterial toy cleaner or a mild solution of soap and water. Pat dry. Thank you for shopping with us. ~Vert Delivery

I've used soap and water with regular brushes and foam brushes and it cleaned both with no problem. Just make sure you clean it right away. Don't let it set.

I would clean the brushes with acetone, I've used my kit about 3 or 4 times already and haven't had a problem, but I did notice the base and top coat are very thick in consistency... Also try not to keep your applicators out of the bottle for too long. Hope this helps!

I too have no trouble just cleaning the bristles by hand. The bristles are so short it really shouldn't be a problem, then wash after.

If you go to the Contigo website they have a set of cleaning brushes you can buy. I haven't bought them, but they even show you how to apply them to clean the product.

Mix a teaspoon full with a quart of warm water then soak the brushes for half an hour. Then scrub them together in the mixture and rinse.

I use water and brush it.. Sometimes I will put a little baking soda on the tip of the brush. Vinegar works too.

Clean with if only a little finger. Also I use it because there is just a good brush. I hope and brush is attached. I am not yet wash because the outside is clean

Hi Scott. I have done both methods. For these Brushes, I would use a regular mild soap with water. Dont waist your money on certain cleansers, the brushes arent that good of a quality to do that. Just make sure after you clean the brushes pinch the tip of them and lay them on a flat surface or they will fuzz up and become useless.

I use Dr. Brown's Natural Flow Cleaning Brush, 4 Pack . They work great to get to the insides of the valve, straw and the plastic folding part. I take off the valve and straw and wash everything with dish detergent. I also take everything apart and soak in very warm water and bleach about once a week to take care of any mold.

I would wash them with dish soap and rinse in very hot water, let them air dry. If you are worried about bacteria, boil water and dip the cloth end in to sterilize.

Just pop the top and bottom off and clean them in hot soapy water. I use a small scrub brush on them. Have no problems, best way I have found to clean it.
