what do you use to clean water bottle/bowl

[tiabia0]

just want to know what everyone uses to clean their water bowls & bottles.

My buns have a few water bowls. When I think they are dirty, I just throw them in the dishwasher with the rest of the dishes. For the water bottles, I clean then once a week with a special brush I bought and put new water in the bottle.

i bought 2 baby bottle cleaners. would that work for the bottle?

i always thought putting bowls in the dishwasher was unhealthy cause chemicals.

I use baby bottle cleaners for water bottles. You can order them through some rabbit supply stores. For dishes I either put them in the dishwasher or handwash them with hotwater.

Actually need to do the barn dishes within the next couple days! Have 3 new buns, and 2 litters on the way, so I'll be using a lot of dishes the next couple months!

That's alot of buns! my 4.5 year old has had the same bowl for a few years so i bought her a new one yesterday just to be safe. i'll put it in the dishwasher. i also still give her a bottle incase. our new addition is using a water bottle we already had but i bought both of them new bottles yesterday too so ive gotta clean those as well.

for first time cleaning of bottles should i use any soap?

we just clean the bowls in the sink with an anti-bacterial dish soap and super rinse them, and with the bottle we do the same and use a bottle brush--once a week.

I usually clean with usual dish soap, but every couple months will soak the dishes in a weak bleach dilution. As long as you rinse them well, it's fine. People use soap and bleach to clean baby toys and our own dishes too.

They go in the dishwasher with my dishes, the cat's food bowls and the dog's food bowls.
