This morning I noticed the inside of the sippy bit on DS sippy cup has mould/mildrew, or what ever you call it, inside it. It is one of those cups that bubs manages the flow of (hope you know what I mean) and so it is not easy to just get a cloth in there and clean it. So anyways does anyone have any idea how I can clean it?
I don't really want to use bleach, but can't think of any other way. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

| You can try something abrasive like rice and add a bit of water and shake it alot. Not sure of the type of sippy cup you have and if it will get up in there but might be worth a try. |

If pipe cleaner doesn't do it for you - you can get teeny tiny brush from cake decorators which are designed for cleaning icing nozzles. I have one which I use to clean out my water bottle lid (no dishwasher here....) it has a mini bottle brush on one end and a mini paintbrush style brush at the other end and is about 10cm long. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

Soaking it in a milton solution will kill any bugs/mould and help clean it too. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">
