What is the best way to clean these so that they can be reused?

You can use the top rack of your dishwasher if you have a way to prevent then from falling to the bottom otherwise the loose ones will melt on the coil. I just soak them a couple of times in hot soapy water, rinse them well and let them air dry.

Rinse them thoroughly in hot soapy water. Then place on top rack in the dishwasher.

Don't hand wash, use top shelf of the dishwasher. You'll want to sanitize them since they are usually in people's mouths. You will need a small basket for the caps. Be creative.

Pull plunger out of the top and run or soak in hot water. You just use sugar water inside so it dissolves easily

I don't think it is practical to reuse them. We just picked them up one at a time and put them in the trash. They weren't too heavy. We ordered one each of about five different brands and did our own test to see which one worked best. This one was not the top performer, in our opinion.

Just wash them. I believe you hang dry them. So far have kept them pretty clean.

I throw them away after each use, however, if they are not torn, they can be washed out and reused.

Sure, probably boiling them would do it, also washing really well with hot soapy water and a pipe cleaner would do it.

They can be rehydrated and reused. They will dry out but not become flat like originally.

I just scrub them, then soak in bleach water. Then a soak in regular water.

I just wash them in the kitchen sink with dishwashing soap and then let them air dry. They come out nicely.

We never tried cleaning them. I thought they were considered disposable. If you have figured a way to clean them please let me know.

I wash and rinse them everyday and reuse. Can last a long time if used this way.

Soak it in warm soapy water or use a little Goo Gone and wash them well afterward.

I would put down some wax paper first. I have a commercial dishwasher I run them through about 10 times to get them reasonably clean.

Hi Dina, I have reused them several times over. I keep them in the tray they come in, use a ziploc bag to store them in, and keep refrigerated.

just use a vacuume, do not run them under water it can ruin them, the new plastic smell should be gone in like a week or so

They are not designed to be reused. They are meant to be one-time-use and disposed of. You can clean them out if you want... But I would not. There is no real way to effectively dry them out due to the small opening. When we used them we just threw them away and it was still cheeper than the store bought ones. I hope that this helps.

I have been scouring the internet for an answer to this very same question. The only idea that I have comeup with is - number 1 - take them to the cleaners and have them steam them, or in the alternative, buy a steamer and do it yourself. Let me know if you got any other answers. I went on youtube for a video also and did not find anything to help. Miele does nothing to help. embry7808@yahoo.com

I take them apart and place them over the hooks on the top shelf of dishwasher. And sometimes I wash them out by hand but the dishwasher hasn't done them any harm. Hope this helps.
