Underconsumption Rule
(sh.itjust.works)
They're dishwasher safe! (At least so far) I throw the caps in the utensil basket.
How do you clean them? I once bought a dozen blue bottles of the Grolsch swing top style. I had to get rid of them eventually because there is no bottle brush that will get down in there. They were cool until then though.
I usually just soak them in Oxiclean Free in a bucket overnight once 4-6 are dirty (or PBW cleaner when I had it around when I would homebrew). You can also just put the Oxiclean in the bottles and let them sit overnight.
I also have a narrow bottle brush that I'll use that fits in there, but honestly the oxiclean basically cleans everything, even crusted junk, with an overnight soak. Then I just rinse them thoroughly.
I've also added coarse salt and rubbing alcohol and shaken the shit out of them then put them in the dishwasher for a box of like 30 of them that I bought at a garage sale for $1 (I don't think the dude ever even rinsed them after drinking the beer), but that's before I discovered how well oxiclean soak works.
If they're not particularly crusty, I'll just add a little dish soap and hot water and shake. Cleans them fine for me for me for the ones that get used more quickly/regularly.
Sweet, thanks. I'll give it another go next time.
