The 10 Best Bottle Brushes

The Oxo Good Grips Set (about $10) was designed with plenty of attention to detail. The straw accessory fits in most water bottle straws, and the tiny brush is shaped to get in all the crevices of caps and lids. A handy ring on the end allows you to store all three together.

Once you have the Hiware 5-Piece (appx. $10) you'll find so many uses for them you'll wonder how you ever did without them. Each flexible brush is a different length and width to help you sanitize hard-to-reach places, like wine decanters, reusable straws, and teapot spouts.

If safety and sustainability are high on your priority list, then the Full Circle Clean Reach (about $11) is perfect for you. The handle is made from attractive, eco-friendly bamboo with a nontoxic finish, while the recycled plastic parts are BPA-free.

If you are washing bottles all day long, you can leave the Munchkin Shine (around $9) out because its sleek stainless handle will blend in with the decor of most modern kitchens. It comes with an extra brush head that's a cinch to screw on and off.

The Roto Scrub (appx. $13) offers an unusual take on cleaning with a universal steel shaft at the base that should fit into any standard-sized drill chuck. It may seem like overkill, but this model could be an ideal solution for families of multiples.

Many parents prefer the budget-friendly classic made by Dr. Brown's. It has been updated from the original with a convenient stand, and the base features fixed chevron channels to help you sanitize nipples without worrying about losing a separate tiny brush.

For something just a little different, there's the Kitchiny Silicone (around $9). As you may have guessed, its bristles are made from silicone rather than more traditional materials. This ensures it is more durable than many as well as less likely to stain or retain odors.

The Bürstenhaus Redecker Horsehair (about $13) boasts an untreated beechwood handle, so if you don’t want plastic in your kitchen, this may be the option for you. It is longer than many, at 13-1/2 inches, so you can use it to reach the base of tall vases.

The innovative Oxo Tot (about $13) has a soap dispenser built in: with the simple push of the button you'll put the perfect amount of your favorite dish soap onto the bristles. The included stand allows the brush to dry quickly, and even has a removable drip tray.

The Lullababy Cleaning Set (appx. $24) comes with everything you need, including a nifty fold-up drying rack. It has interchangeable sponge and bristle heads that pop right off, so it's easy enough to take the whole set with you on the go.
