Has anyone had to wash the thing yet? I mean theres always a little wine leftover in a glass, which may dry. Any success?

A bottle brush works. The ones that I purchased was intended for show and fun.

I successfully clean a narrow-necked carafe using raw rice. I rinse out the carafe out, then put in a small amount of dish soap and a handful of raw rice; swish until the glass is sparkling. It cleans without scratching and all you have to do is rinse until it's suds-free!

Rice helps! You can also put some lemon juice and salt and swish it around. It will remove any stains and clean the bottom. You'll still have to use soap and water to remove the lemon flavor. It also works on your coffee pot, too :)

I wash mine with Dawn and a bottle sponge if I haven't already rinsed it out. Best case is rinse it out with hot water and Dawn and let it dry upside down :-)

The bottom of mine was a little rough, but honestly I didn't even think about it until you asked this question. It is definitely not an issue. I hand wash mine and rub it with olive oil before putting it away, and I have never had a problem with it drying out or splitting.

I haven't washed mine, but if it survived the coffee soaking, it should survive a hand soak and wash. I would give it a try.

I haven't had that issue, but with other things vinegar usually does the trick pretty well. After you wash it, swish some vinegar around it and then rinse. Hope that helps.

I have not washed mine yet. I was thinking that when the time came I probably would take it to the dry cleaners. I haven't read the Manufacturers Care Instructions. Sorry.

I put mine in the dishwasher to wash it. Otherwise, I would suggesting putting in a mild solution of bleach and see if that works.

yes, and it really is spillproof! I spilled an entire glass of red wine on mine this last weekend, and it came right out in the wash!

I haven't had to clean mine yet (using it for olive oil), but the top comes off and you could clean it with a bottle brush the same as any other necked bottle.

My husband hand washes it with soap water and a sponge. He doesn't have an issue. I wouldn't leave food for a long time on it. That may make it difficult to clean.

I keep mine clean AND DRY all the time. I would soak it in a mild bleach solution, rinse well and dry it out completely.

I always hand wash it along with everything else. Wash it with soap and water and dry it. No problems, love this little thing.

That hasn't happened to mine and I've had it since August. I use it almost daily to pack my daughter's lunch so I hand wash it most of the time and the few times I put it in the dishwasher, it's always the top rack so this may be how I've been able to avoid that issue.

I would wash it by hand. It's hands blown glass and quite delicate. I wouldn't risk weakening.

Yep -- stuck it in the washer then air dried just a few days ago. Or I sometimes take a kitchen brush to it if it's not too dirty. Works great!

We use a bottle brush to get to the bottom and use hot soapy water and rinse well. Also we purchased the holder that suspends this decanter upside down and off the counter so it dries quite well eventually. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000Y0UOAW/ref=cm_cd_asin_lnk

Yes! Was yours put in the dishwasher? A friend of mine surprised me by running my dishwasher. Nice, but she put my Bubba Keg in there before she turned it on. :( It separated from the base on one side and I could see the foam. It still worked just fine, just looked a little cock-eyed. I did end up buying a couple more, one for office, one for home, and I threw that one away.
