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 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 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 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.

we don't wash it in the dishwasher, doesn't fit ours, but even if it didn't , we would wash it by hand anyway. no big deal!

I always hand wash, I believe it could go in the dishwasher though. It comes apart nicely and it does work great.

I've had mine on for 6+ weeks without a problem. I hand wash and put in the dishwasher.

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.

The tray does come out. I have never put it in the dishwasher. I soak it in Clorox water when it needs cleaning.

It can be removed but it's incredibly difficult to do so and you may tear the sleeve. It's not designed to come off - at least with any ease.

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

Yes, very easy. You can toss it in the washing machine, dishwasher, or nuke it, while damp, for three minutes to sanitize it. Generally, the top rack of the dishwasher cleans best with the least amount of additional wear on the cloth.

I haven't had that happen. The sleeve is removable so it can be removed and washed separately. Also, the bottle with sleeve can go in the dishwasher. I LOVE this bottle.

I just put it in the dishwasher or rinse it off. I don't think it comes apart.

Either wash it or put it in the dishwasher! You don't have to take it apart.

I've always washed mine in the dishwasher. I only wash it when necessary though. Haven't had any issues so far. I have had it for about a year.
