Wash by hand and in the dishwasher, the most important thing is to let it air dried before reassembling the bottle... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-to-clean-water-bottle-with-straw#post-2927143 Wed, 15 Jun 2022 14:32:49 +0000 JJ2626 2927143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is there a reason people aren’t just putting the silicone top in the dishwasher? That’s what I do but maybe I shouldn’t! Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-to-clean-water-bottle-with-straw#post-2927142 Wed, 15 Jun 2022 01:17:11 +0000 mrs.kiwi 2927142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@meadow: @catgirl: @SteelerGirl: @hitchhiker: @bees_knees: thanks everyone! We just ordered the simple modern one. I’ll keep camelback and your other recommendations in mind!</p> <p>@bakingdoodle: I think I’m just lazy, haha. I hate the extra step of popping the silicone top off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-to-clean-water-bottle-with-straw#post-2927141 Tue, 14 Jun 2022 20:37:39 +0000 bakingdoodle 2927141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I must be in the minority because I like the straw thermos bottle (funtainer and the other kids bottle). I actually like them because we can remove the silicone top and wash and use a brush to wash the straw. I then let it all air dry before I reassemble. I didn't like the contigo and its spring mechanism because everything is attached... and I don't know how to wash it. My kids don't seem to care too much about a straw anymore so I bought some rubbermaid bottles (no straw) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-to-clean-water-bottle-with-straw#post-2927139 Mon, 13 Jun 2022 15:13:32 +0000 bees_knees 2927139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got two of these and have been really impressed! They especially work great for school water bottles since their names are engraved and you don't have to worry about stickers constantly falling off in the dishwasher. </p> <p><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/941954799/engraved-water-bottle-custom-name-gifts?ref=yr_purchases" rel="nofollow">https://www.etsy.com/listing/941954799/engraved-water-bottle-custom-name-gifts?ref=yr_purchases</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-to-clean-water-bottle-with-straw#post-2927138 Mon, 13 Jun 2022 14:44:03 +0000 hitchhiker 2927138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Seconding camelback. I like that the straw piece is replaceable, although we have only replaced them once or twice in five-ish years. But - if your kid is a big chew-er, they are not ideal, because they can definitely chew through the straw, and then you're constantly replacing them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-to-clean-water-bottle-with-straw#post-2927137 Mon, 13 Jun 2022 11:05:38 +0000 SteelerGirl 2927137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also like simple modern. They are stainless steel and have cute designs, and definitely easy to clean. They also hold up forever. You need a straw brush but every water bottle comes with one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-to-clean-water-bottle-with-straw#post-2927136 Mon, 13 Jun 2022 05:51:33 +0000 catgirl 2927136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is 7 and for the past couple of years we have been using the simple modern bottles with straw lids. Or other lids depending on what we are doing, we all have bottles from the same brand so have a mix of lids at this point. I find the straw lid really easy to clean with a straw brush. </p> <p>We recently grabbed the Owala FreeSip with straw and love it but it's pretty big and DD doesn't like carrying it around. But we'll use it for the beach/pool/lake since it will just go in our bag. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-to-clean-water-bottle-with-straw#post-2927135 Mon, 13 Jun 2022 04:51:25 +0000 meadow 2927135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used Camelback (plastic) from that age to present (6yo).... I toss all the parts in dishwasher &amp; no issues w mold.</p> <p>I've been intrigued by the cupkin cupsbut havent tried them yet.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-to-clean-water-bottle-with-straw#post-2927134 Mon, 13 Jun 2022 01:54:05 +0000 mrs.kiwi 2927134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I’m looking for an easy-to-clean straw water bottle for my 1.5 yo.. any recommendations? Prefer stainless steel but definitely open to plastic too.</p> <p>We used the very popular thermos funtainer for 4 kids, 8 years… and this whole time we have hated cleaning the silicone top. It gets moldy and gross and I hate popping it off every time. I can’t believe we haven’t switched straw water bottles for this long but we are finally doing it!! </p>
