We normally rinse it after each use. To clean more thoroughly we use a vacuum bottle brush we bought from an ACE Hardware store. This is just a long handled round brush. We also regularly rinse the lid; note the lid can easily be partially disassembled so you can thoroughly wash the inside areas of the lid with soap and water. On the lid, under the handle of the valve for pouring, you can see a little round tab sticking out that might seem to serve no purpose. Push firmly up on that tab (not on the valve handle) and the round cap on the top or the lid, kind of like the lid of a big pop-top pill bottle. When you are done, just line the top with the bottom and snap them back together. We normally rinse it after each use.

Yes the valve is easy to clean. It is a single layer of plastic with an x valve that allows water through when you suck. Also the valves are easy to replace.
