So true! I use those little brush thingies that come with reusable straws and then put the straws and the tops through the dishwasher. The bottles have to be hand washed because they’re stainless steel and can’t go through the dishie. I’ve learnt the hard way that some bottles have these overly complex flip out parts and whatnot that are just ridiculous and not worth buying because, while kinda cool and fancy, you just cannot clean every part of every part.
Also important is to let them dry out thoroughly before the next time you use them. I’ve got a collection of them which I rotate. Be prepared to replace them every few months. Man, the bottles I’ve bought over the last 13 years 💸 It’s like pegs: when you’ve got kids you need 2 or 3 times as many as you think you’ll need!
