Q: How do you clean small pet water bottles?

January 4, 2010 | By Kavykeeper | 6 answers | Expired: 1216 days ago

I use a baby bottle brush to clean out my guinea pig bottles. It still hard to clean out the spout thoroughly. Do you know any tricks or shortcuts to clean them?

I only use glass water bottles and I put them in the diswasher. I figure the heat from that will kill any germs. Then I rinse them again with soap and hot water to make sure there's no diswasher residue from the dishwasher detergent.

I used the baby bottle bottle brush to clean them too when I had Guinea pigs. I also had extra bottles so when I would switch them out i could leave them to soak a bit.
