What type of brush do you use to clean the bottle?

Wish I can help, but bought as gift for someone I don't stay in contact with.

I use a combination of baking soda and water to clean the bottle. I just let them sit for a while and that usually does the trick. I hear vinegar works too.

I use distilled white vinegar too sanitize and prevent mildew. Usually, I will put a tablespoon in and fill with water and let sit for an hour and lightly rinse.

Dishwasher safe! And if you don't have the luxury of a dishwasher I'd assume a baby bottle brush would work well!

Yes, a baby bottle brush would work. There are also spongers with handles that are made for cleaning glasses that would work. I put mine in the dishwasher, they come out good as new...

Any brush is fine. I use a blue Avent one that looks like an oversized tooth brush. I pull the whole thing apart each time (warm soapy water)

Before I bought a brush I used to fill it about half way with water and a little bit of dishwashing soap then close it and shake it up very vigorously. Then rinse it very well and done. I've used this technique quite successfully to clean out oil sample bottles with openings that even a brush wouldn't fit in. Just be sure to rinse it thoroughly, but the rinse on these bottles is much easier because of the wider opening.

A very fine tiny brush that you use to clean the air vent pieces inside the bottle. You will still need to buy a regular bottle and nipple brush

I have both and use the bottle/brush for more precise application. You have to be careful not to contaminate the bottle by using the brush on a dirty surface. The spray can get to areas that can't be reached by a brush, but it can be a bit messy. Note that there are also different formulations available - the D100L is a 100% solution - the sprays come in 5% to 100% solutions.

We only use ours for water, so I just rinse them out and use a little soap on the inside of the cap and around the neck of the bottle. If we used them for other stuff, I'd probably use a bottle brush to wash them out.

The manufacturer does not recommend machine washing I use a baby bottle brush. Love the product, it work great.

I'm not sure, but a good cleaner and a stiff brush?Maybe something like Clorox's "Anywhere" cleaner?

I just toss mine in the dishwasher every week, seems to work well. They make a bottle cleaner brush that I guess would work as well if you feel skeptical about your dishwasher.

I've never tried a brush. I just clean every once in a while by running a mixture of vinegar & water thru a cycle -- or sometimes use soda instead of vinegar. I would think the vinegar solution would clean out the residue. Just run another cycle with clear water after using the vinegar solution.

yes and unable to clean it off . I've had the bottle a few years . I also noticed the that the clear bottom part is no longer clear . I don't believe that there were any instructions on cleaning the product . I have used a baby bottle brush , believe it left fine scratches and these areas grew some kind of mold also . I did buy another because I like the design , the one handed use . I think you just need to replace every so often .

I bought this for my husband who drinks black coffee. I used a baby bottle brush set(has large and small brushes) to clean it.

I just use a bottle brush to clean the inside. I got one the size that goes in there easily. Otherwise, I just rinse it with regular soap and water.

This is my take on how you should clean the bottles. It's based on my experiences working in labs while earning a BS in chemistry. If the bottles have already already had liquid or something else in them, then I'd do steps 1-3. If you're getting them new, then you can probably get away with steps 2-3. 1) Clean with hot water, dilute liquid soap, and a bottle brush like http://www.amazon.com/Clean-Bottle-Express-Cleaning-Bottles/dp/B0056KQ07Q/ref=sr_1_11?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1418853729&sr=1-11&keywords=bottle+brush or http://www.amazon.com/Lixit-Bottle-Tube-Cleaning-Brush/dp/B001B1QG78/ref=sr_1_10?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1418853729&sr=1-10&keywords=bottle+brush. Then rinse. 2) Desanitize with Star San (http://www.amazon.com/Star-San-Sanitizer-4-oz/dp/B00E5MXGKK/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1418853558&sr=8-4&keywords=star+san) 3) Rinse with hot water until suds free. Then rinse again, two more times with cold water (because it's cleaner than hot water which typically will carry water heater sediment). Then, rinse a final time with filtered or deionized water.

I use an "evenflo" baby bottle brush since baby bottles are narrow. Mine haas a sponge at the tip. I think it was only $2. Most of the time I just run very hot water through it, and sometimes a drop of soap. I only use this bottle for distilled water so it doesn't really get "dirty." But, yes, baby bottle brushes are narrower.

I only hand wash mine. It is very easy to clean, but you do need a bottle brush and a small brush also.
