Do you put it in the dishwasher with the sleeve on? If not, how do you take it off?

Their website says this "bottle and sleeve are dishwasher safe". I always wash mine by hand so I can't say by experience how well it does in the dishwasher. I have never taken the sleeve off as it doesn't seem too easy to do so, but if you pulled enough it would come off.

The sleeve comes on and off easily with a small dab of dishwasher soap. And yes the bottle can go into the dishwasher just fine. I hand wash the lid.

The sleeve comes off by simply adding very warm water to the bottle to soften the sleeve and then rolling the sleeve off the bottle. Reverse is the same. If necessary, do this under warm running water or in a sink of warm water.WARNING: Others have noted to use soap. Do this at your own risk! The bottles are extremely slippery with soap on them and it is very easy to drop. Have replaced a bottle because of this. If you do use soap, hang on to the ring and do not let go of it. Would also be good to do in the sink as well.

Yes, you put it in with the sleeve on. The sleeve isn't meant to be removable.

The sleeve IS removable for cleaning, although I wouldn't recommend doing it too often. The sleeve can be rolled down onto itself on the outside of the bottle. If the bottom is primed with hot water the increased elasticity helps. A drop of soap helps with the slipping off of the sleeve once you get past the widest part.

I wouldn't put it in the dishwasher. I usually hand wash mine, but have run it through the dishwasher twice and the black is peeling off. I've only had it a couple months, so this is disappointing.

I don't see any way to remove it. I've been happy with how easy it is to keep clean-- I just wipe it down with a damp cloth after it cools off. The drip tray on the bottom does come off, and I've either washed it by hand or in the dishwasher.

We just slide the sleeve off and wash the bottle in the dishwasher and the sleeve in some soapy water in the sink. Easy to do. We have two of the bottles and love them!

I washed mine by hand. Probably you can place it in the dishwasher where it will be steemed.

I think you just burn it off. I know you don't put it in the dishwasher. We oil is before every use.

No, I just tip it up and scrape it w/a rubber scraper. I LOVE mine. Have used it since ordering it just a couple of months ago. So easy to take apart and it all goes in the dishwasher :) Hope this helps.

Have had mine for over a year, hand washed and dish washer both. Take the rubber handle off to wash occasionally and take it off to put in the oven.

I have not put in dishwasher. I'd rather not damage it. I wash it with sponge, dish washing liquid and water.

HelloYou can put it in the dishwasher or clean it with water and vinegar. Put water and vinegar in a big enough bowl to submerge the bottle and swish it around I put mine in the dishwasher.

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

I wash it without disassembling it. Lots of soapy water and rinse well. Done. Even will put it in the dishwasher. Comes out fine. I would not take it apart.

I bought it as a gift for a co-worker and I just asked her and she said she doesn't put it in the dishwasher. She soaks it first and then just washes it by hand. Sounds like that is the correct way to do it so you know it is clean.
