Best Bottle Brushes 2023 - What to Expect Best Bottle Brushes 2023 - What to Expect

It doesn’t get any cuter than this water bottle brush cleaning set. We think it'll look right at home on your counter, so you don’t have to stuff it in a drawer somewhere or establish a hanger inside of a cabinet. But it’s really not about the aesthetics here. This brush cleaning set comes with four brushes of varying sizes nestled inside—all of which help you get the job done better. With an 18-inch design, this bottle brush is perfect for cleaning taller water bottles—especially considering the bristles extend approximately two-thirds of the way down the brush. The stiff plastic bristles sit atop flexible wire, so the brush can bend to hit the bottle at all the curves and nooks and crannies. This feature also makes this an exceptional brush for oddly-shaped water bottles and vessels like vases. Still, the bristles are still firm enough to provide a good scrubbing. And, even though the top of the brush is made of flexible wire, the handle is a sturdier plastic to help you get a solid, comfortable grip. It also has a hang hole at the end for convenient drying and storage. Water bottle cleaning brushes come in various sizes. That's why you need to be sure to choose a brush that’s the best fit for your water bottle. A brush with a long handle is ideal for reaching the bottom of larger water bottles. The longer handle will also provide more leverage when cleaning the walls of the canister. Our best for larger bottles is the LiKee Long Bottle Cleaning Brush, which has an 18-inch design. We think LiKee’s bottle brush is perfect for cleaning taller water bottles, because the stiff plastic bristles sit atop flexible wire, and the brush can bend to reach all of those tough crannies.

Conclusion

Size: If you use 8- or 9-ounce bottles or need a brush for water bottles, make sure the brush is long enough. If you need to clean small parts, you'll want to make sure your brush can really get in there. Measuring the diameter of small areas or the length of your bottles can help narrow down your requirements when buying online. When shopping for a water bottle brush, you may want to opt for a silicone one. Silicone water bottle brushes are soft, flexible, and less likely to scratch bottles. They also have a reputation for being antimicrobial. However, if you don't like the feel of a silicone brush, a nylon or plastic bristle brush that's designed specifically for water bottles will work, too. Parents love that this combo sponge and bristle brush allows them to thoroughly clean the bottom of even the tallest Dr. Brown’s bottles (and other brands, too). The bristles clean the side of the bottle without scratching, and the base has chevron channels to get into the grooves of the nipples.

Silicone Bottle Cleaning Brush with Long Handle, 31cm/12.5

Most people don’t treat their reusable water bottles the same way they would another cup—that is, they don’t necessarily clean them after every use. But for both hygienic purposes and longevity, a water bottle should be emptied and cleaned daily or after each and every use, says Nathaly Vieira, founder of cleaning company Inspire Clean. “This is particularly important for reusable bottles that may have been exposed to things like dirt, dust, and food particles.” Grace says that the straw brush in this set wasn't long enough to clean the valves on her Dr. Brown's bottles. Owning a reusable water bottle is a win-win; it benefits the environment and saves you money. However, due to their often long, skinny openings, water bottles are not easy to keep clean. That's why there are major benefits to owning one of the best water bottle brushes. Simply put, water bottle brushes are able to reach and clean the crevices of bottles that normal sponges just can’t reach, thanks to their long handles and flexible bristle heads.Combining the cleaning power of a bottle brush with a sponge, this Dish Scrubbie bottle brush cleaner set contains a pair of slim straw brushes and two 12-inch brushes which have sponge-like brush heads instead of bristles. The sponges at the ends of the bottle brushes won't fall out, bend, or scratch bottles while you're scrubbing away. This gives them an advantage over traditional bristle brushes and makes them a great alternative for people who aren't a fan of silicone ones. 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. I only ever buy the Dr. Browns bottle brushes, they hold up best & fit into every make of bottle better. I even use them for DD's sippy cups & our water bottles."

The 7 Best Water Bottle Cleaning Brushes of 2023 - The Spruce

The Philips Avent Baby Bottle Brush has a simplistic yet highly functional design. The brush only has bristles on one side, more like a traditional dish scrubber. However, the tip's curved shape splays out the nylon bristles and allows you to reach the bottom of narrow bottles without any trouble. The single-sided design lets you direct the overspray towards the sink, not all over the kitchen. It has a comfortable angled handle for more ergonomic scrubbing, but the best feature of this brush is that you can use it for more than bottle cleaning. The bristles cover enough surface area that we like using this one for general dishwashing. The silicone brush heads and stainless steel handle are more durable than plastic alternatives, ensuring that this brush will last a long time without needing replacement (take that, landfill garbage). You can sterilize it by boiling the brush heads in water for a few minutes, though Tika put hers in the sterilizer without issues. The handles also have hooks on the bottom so you can hang them dry and store them out of the way. On the other hand, a brush with nylon or plastic bristles—particularly those that are stiffer—will deliver more scrubbing power. For the most scrubbing power, look for a brush made out of natural fibers, like boar’s hair.

FAQs

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.
