wet (straight from the tap) kitchen roll stuffed in the bottle, shake and twist when pulling out - this is a good method to use if there is a build-up of algae

On rare occasions I use baby sterilizing fluid very dilute and leave it for 30mins or so, then rinse rinse rinse.
On a regular basis just a bottle brush and water

I use a bottle brush (and stick my finger in to clean the very top bit where the brush dosen't reach). Or if I've lost the brush, I use rice, gets messy though :lol: I sometimes soak them in a big plastic box of disinfectant, but now when they start getting algea build up quickly I just get new bottles

I've not heard of rice being used, what does this do? I normally use water and vinegar and I've got a bottle brush. I have quite hard water where I am so I do tend to get a bit of limescale in the spout which is hard to get rid of, is there a non toxic way of getting rid of this?

Daily, just water. Every couple of weeks I clean them with baby sterilizing fluid. The Tesco own brand one is very cheap!

Re: rice - put in a little raw rice, and a splash of water - shake it up, rinse the rice out. It scrapes all the ick off the inside. V good if there's algae
I use rice. In case you couldn't tell. :lol:

Ah thank you, I thought that would be the reason but didn't want to assume.
I've never had an algae problem but I do get limescale not sure if rice would get that off but you never know, I can give it a go.clutterydrawer

You'd want to soak limescale in vinegar I imagine?

I do spray and rinse in vinegar but didn't think of soaking it in it. Thanks for the tip, not sure why I didn't think of it before.

I use bowls now as they are a lot easier to clean (with water only). For bottle I used to use tea leaves and warm water - brought them up lovely and clean

How often do you check and change bowls?

Washing up liquid and bottle brush then I sterilise them. I've got loads of bottles and they get changed every day.
