Silicone brushes are typically softer than traditional bristle brushes and are less likely to scratch water bottles. If you intend to clean glassware and other delicate items, a silicone brush is probably a safer bet. Another advantage to silicone bristles is that they’re less likely to bend or shed like nylon bristles often do. That’s why we suggest HIWARE’s 14-Inch Silicone Bottle Brush Cleaning Set, our best silicone. This silicone brush has a long 14-inch handle that has no trouble reaching the very bottom of most water bottles. The silicone bristles on this brush are soft and less likely to scratch your water bottle. There’s a standard scrubbing brush to get all of the inside edges of a small bottle, a smaller brush for crevices in the rim and cap, and two brushes more suitable for cleaning narrow pathways, like straws. Natural fibers, such as nylon or boar’s hair, are best for cleaning a water bottle, because they can reach the tight spots and crevices where bacteria can hide, says Nathaly Vieira, founder of cleaning company Inspire Clean. They are also gentle enough to not scratch the surface of your bottle. However, these tend to be more expensive, plus aren’t quite as durable as synthetic materials like plastic or silicone. Multifunctional】The brush is suitable for all types of baby bottles, sippy cups and feeding accessories, a must-have item for all parents and caregivers. This brush has every feature that’s important in a bottle brush. The brush head has two different kinds of bristles to cover you whether you need gentle cleaning or something that will scrub away layers of film.

If the brushes need a refresh, no problem. You can toss them in the dishwasher for a thorough clean. Just be sure to use a cycle with a heated dry (or towel dry them upon removal)—otherwise, reviewers say you risk rust forming on the wire handles of the brushes.

Unfortunately, there’s no specific mention of the dishwasher, but a handful of reviewers note that they put their own Scotch-Brite Glass and Water Bottle Brush in the dishwasher without issue.

They’re also heat-resistant and can be boiled or put in the dishwasher for easy cleaning. But, some moms might prefer the texture of traditional nylon bristles for more thorough cleaning. This brush comes with a curved brush head, which is ideal for cleaning the curved sections of baby bottles. The handle part of the brush has an attached, molded tip for cleaning nipples. The brush should also be long enough to reach all parts of the bottle, including the bottom and sides as that’s where a lot of milk pools and dries.Your everyday dish soap will be perfectly fine to use on bottles, so long as you rinse off any suds carefully. Some moms like antibacterial dish soap and others invest in specially designed bottle soaps, particularly if they’re washing a lot of bottles. When you’re done cleaning, any water on the brush drains down into the storage cup to easily be emptied—no stagnant water sitting to create bacteria and odors. And if it needs a thorough cleaning, you can pop the whole thing in the dishwasher. If there’s any downside, it’s that this brush set is really only suitable for shorter water bottles. This brush is softer, but will still scrub away filth while not scratching your bottles. It has a non-slip grip handle and an ergonomic design that makes it comfortable to hold during lengthy washing sessions. The brush’s wide bristles can get to the inner ridges of bottles, which can be hard to reach, giving you a more thoroughly cleaned bottle. The brushes are durable enough to withstand repeated cleanings but soft enough that they won’t scratch bottles, nipples or other feeding equipment.
