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.

Yes, I put it in the dishwasher. So far, only on the top rack. Comes out just fine.

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 don't put mine in the dishwasher. Don't know what the manufacturer recommends.

I just use warm water, dish soap and a scrub brush on it anytime it needs cleaning. It comes right off.

I use this bottle daily. I bought a bottle brush and clean it regularly with dish soap and water. Also, the rubber sleeve will slide off/on with soapy water. If there's a smell, it may be coming from the sleeve. Soak the cap in warm, soapy water and rinse with cold. If it continues to have a smell, contact the manufacturer.

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

I have other sleeves and I just rinse them out with warm water and let them air dry. I have done the same with this one. I would not recommend washing in a machine.

I advised against washing it in the dishwasher. Instructions say no to dishwasher and it might void the lifetime warranty. I suggest washing it by hand.

I have been putting mine in the top rack of the dishwasher. After I take it out of the dishwasher I let it sit in the drying rack next to my sink overnight. I have been pleased with how this works. Someone else asked if it comes apart for washing. I have not found a way to disassemble it. Putting it in the dishwasher works for me.

Catherine...you can wash it in the dishwasher on the top rack, but hand washing is recommended for best results.

I tend to wash it by hand just to be on the safe side. Haven't tried it in the dishwasher

I rinse it off by hand; I understand that others sometimes put it in the top rack of the dishwasher but I haven't tried to

I haven't put it into the dishwasher, I have just hand washed it. I would check manufacturer notes on that. :)

I don't have a dishwasher either. I have never sut myself. I hold it by the plastic and rub a stainless steel sponge against it. You have to be as careful with this as with any other sharp item.

I throw it in the dishwasher, I would not want to wash it by hand. I've never done it, but I think it would be a pain!
