I know someone asked how do you wash it but I do not have a dishwasher, so that answer is not helpful. Is this easy to clean manually?

It's super easy to clean - just use a bottle brush and hand wash. The top just unscrews and there are no little parts to remove and keep track of. I highly recommend this product.

Yes, just soap and water. Let hot water run freely through the lid and it will be clean.

Hand-washing is super-easy. The inside of the cap has a "flip-up" lever to expose all internal parts, for easy access. These things are MUCH better than the units with straws, which tend to mold really easily. This auto seal design is by-far the best one out there. Beware though that THIS particular Contigo unit is prone to fractures of the upper threaded plastic ring when dropped. My kids (elementary school) have wrecked FIVE of these by accidentally dropping them. I recommend the Contigo auto seal travel mugs as a better choice (slightly larger).

I never put mine in the dishwasher. I just wash with soap and water, and let it dry thoroughly. Easy peasy.

I believe it is dishwasher safe, but I always wash mine by hand. I haven't had anything stick to it, and it's easier for me to do a quick swoop in some soapy water than to have it take up room in the dishwasher.

So far I have only washed it by hand, but it's supposed to be top shelf dishwasher safe. Hope this helped. Cheers!

You have to take it apart to clean it, but it's not that bad. There's several pieces to it and you want to be sure you don't lose the little knobs or it won't work. You can remove the knobs to take it apart and then put the knob right back on the removed part so you don't lose it while you wash it. You can put it in the dishwasher so it's easy in that regard. Hand washing it can be a little annoying, but not terrible. It's definitely a useful device and so much easier and faster than using a fork to mash up food. I didn't get one until I had my fourth child and I felt really dumb for waiting so long. You have to take it apart to clean it, but it's not that bad.

I always hand wash, I believe it could go in the dishwasher though. It comes apart nicely and it does work great.

It's very easy to clean. Just wipe it with a damp or wet cloth or sponge. Air dry or use a kitchen towel.

I have not put it in the dishwasher. The openings are little and I don't see how the dishwasher could clean it.

I've never washed this in a dishwasher...nothing sticks, so I wash it by hand.

I've never needed to. Cleanup is easy! Fill it part way with water and a couple drops of dish soap, run on mix for 30 sec, rinse. All clean!

I buy this one every few years (the current one I have had it for last 4+yrs). I have stuck it in dishwasher. Nothing happened to it except that it did not come out very clean. The reason being if you use dishwasher jet dry it gets stuck into the concentric circular ridges. Hence I just wash with a regular dishwashing soap.

It's easy. Just put the parts in the dishwasher. By chance if you don't have a dishwasher, I think it would be easy to clean. When I have rinsed the inside parts and nothing sticks.

We haven't needed to wash ours either. I would think you could just wash it by hand.

I bought it as a gift for a co-worker and I just asked her and she said she doesn't put it in the dishwasher. She soaks it first and then just washes it by hand. Sounds like that is the correct way to do it so you know it is clean.

No, it is not to be washed in the dishwasher. Clean up is so easy. Hand washes easily.....that's the main reason I bought it. Most of the time I simply wipe the the food debris out with a paper towel and then give it a quick hand wash.

Yes, it is easy to clean. It's best to rinse it or fill it up to soak right after you use it. We've had ours for a few years now, and can't live without it, and put ours in the dishwasher without any problem.

Good question, I don't have a dishwasher so I wouldn't know. I would personally stick with hand-washing it. A quick rinse and wipe off is all you need. Unless it's made from stainless steel, which I don't think it is, a dishwasher may not be the best idea.
