TIP: Washing funtainers, KKs, glasses, H2O bottles

[Melaine]

I picked up this little gadget at TJ Maxx yesterday when my favorite bottle brush bit the dust. (It was $3.99 there) I tried it this morning and so far it works really well! Haven't used it for glasses (it's purpose) but it works for funtainers and Klean Kanteens (although obviously it's not as tall as the 27oz ones). http://www.amazon.com/Evriholder-SBR-Glass-WashR/dp/B0036SGU4S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1293811080&sr=8-1

At first I put it on the counter, and thought, "whaaaat? The water goes everywhere." Then I realized, duh, it's for the bottom of the sink. The suction cups work really well, even when water is going everywhere. We wash these all the time, so I'm excited about this find. I will have to see how it holds up in the dishwasher before I give it 5 stars, but so far so good.

Oh wow, that is really cool. We have SIGG bottles, do you think it would work for those?

I kind of think it wouldn't be small enough....the sigg bottles are more narrow than KKs right? It's kind of a tight fit to stuff the KKs on the brush as it is.

Not sure on the openening of KK, but the SIGG bottles have a small, narrow opening. I don't like it, they are hard to clean.

The last time I ordered a bottle, I got one of these:

so it's easier to clean. I know they sell specific cleaners for the original SIGG bottles, but I've been to cheap to order one. I don't think I will go back to original SIGG bottles with the small opening. We still have about 3 of the original small opening bottles. I will wait until they get dented up and replace them with larger mouthed-ones or find a cheaper knockoff.
