Have you ever been plagued by confusion on how to clean your child’s sippy cup? You know that the dishwasher can’t get up into the straw very well right?. Some try the soak and hope method. Some try running scalding hot water through it which rarely works effectively, not too mention you inevitably end up burning your fingers. Others may even try buying extra lids which gets expensive. So what do you do?

Pipe cleaner it! It seems so obvious right? Many people have them already, especially those into arts and crafts, but they work marvelously. Just dab a little cleaning detergent on the pipe cleaner and have it. In seconds, the sippy cup straw is cleaner than you could have ever gotten it using any other method and you can rest assured your baby is safely drinking the contents with which you filled it, not the dried up nasty milk that was in there yesterday…yuck!
