Yes - I purchased a set of 8 extra straws (they do break )...I purchased Rainbow Colored Replacement Acrylic Straw Set of 8 from California Tools. Came with a perfect sized straw cleaner. Have used for over a year. Would recommend. Hope this helps

No, I've never purchased an straw cleaners from Amazon. We use my son's Dr. Brown's bottle cleaner for it and it works great, fits it well (my son is almost 3 yrs old and hasn't used a bottle for a while so we just use the brush that came with the baby bottle). I think they sell the Dr. Brown's bottle cleaners separately, if not I think most straw cleaners will fit it. Good luck

It works well. In fact so far it has fit all of my water bottle straws. The brush is perfect for cleaning straws, firm enough but not too hard. I highly recommend!

I would like to know if you decided to buy one and which model you bought if you bought any. I want to buy a good deep cleaner but I can not decide which model to buy. Thank you in andvace for your response.

Don't know for sure about the straw, but I often use disposable straws anyway (just remember to get the extra long ones or they don't work). The hard straws are a lot harder to keep clean - even soaking them doesn't always clean the inside surface enough to suit me. Have used pipe cleaners more than once to remove stubborn stuff.

These straw cleaners work great! Make sure to take the straw out so you can really get a good cleaning of the removable straw as well as the straw part in the top of the cup. http://www.amazon.com/Dr-Browns-Natural-Cleaning-Brush/dp/B0006BAJN6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1392151208&sr=8-1&keywords=dr+brown+bottle+cleaners

Hi! Our straws are specifically sized for our lids so they can maintain a tight seal. We do offer a straw cleaner which is sized for our straws as well. Hot water and detergent work great in conjunction with the cleaner. It is my understanding that some of our customers have used their own stainless straws, but it's a gamble as to whether or not other straws would fit. Also, the straw cleaner can be used for other hard to clean items like slotted spatulas. Thanks!

I bought a set of 4, 12" x 3/8" Nylon Straw Brushes by ProTool through Amazon that are perfect for cleaning the straw that comes with this tumbler. The brushes are long enough to reach the entire length of the straw and they are full enough to clean without the need to wiggle it around to reach the entire interior. I love these brushes! They are great for any reusable straw.

I'm pretty sure Contigo warns against putting the bottom in the dish washer.I don't and I still have the first one I bought 3 years ago.

We have a straw brush (made for Dr. Brown's bottles) that we use... but usually we just disassemble and place the straws in the dishwasher and have never had a problem! I have never noticed any mold growth on our straws, but I wonder if the user who mentioned that does not disassemble the straws prior to cleaning? That is the only explanation I can think of, as this straw does not even have a "no leak" valve...

I use the dishwasher... Those straws are a pain in the butt to get clean any other way. I can't even be sure they are all that clean after the dishwasher but I'd think that'd be the best solution. Good luck! PS-I use one of those top rack dishwasher container thingys that you put smaller stuff in (ie. Straws, bottle nipples, small bottle parts) for the straws.

I also purchased the wide mouth straw lid. That works much better than the lid it comes with.

I just use the munchkin bottle brush with the suction stand. Plus get the tiny brushes so you can clean in the straw!

I have used it on a few straws and it works great! the bristles are soft enough that they push back and allow it to fit into a pretty small space. I can't say for certain without knowing which cup, but I have tried it on a number of water bottles with straw attachments and it really does work

I don't know about that. Mine didn't work well and we eventually tossed it. (Darn! Wish I'd kept the straw for you!)
