Cleaning Mugs/water bottles?

[Bekastar01]

I read somewhere on these boards to take a sponge, soak it in dish soap. Once it is dry, cut into enough pieces for each day of your trip. Then just take one out and wash once a day. It sounds like a good idea to me -- I'm going to try it when we go to Disney in 10 days!!

I have done this my last 2 trips. It works wonders! I fill a baggie full of soapy sponges and i get all our mugs/cups/baby bottles clean

I agree with the travel sized bottle of dish soap, who knows what is in bar soap.

We take dish soap, but we also have kids with sippy cups or bottles for the forseeable future...

Yes, I can't share bar soap! And the Disney one is so drying and doesn't make my hands feel clean so I wouldn't want it in my mugs..

That's what I do, though I cut the spong first, then put the soap on -let dry and put the pieces in zip lock.

I almost always get a mug. I have ONLY rinsed it with water.

I survived.

FWIW - I totally forgot to get sponges last time so I cut up and soaked some j-cloths with soap and it worked out really well. They lasted two washes for each one. It might make getting to the bottom of the cup easier too as I had no issues there.

Editing to add - Dopey: really? The OP said she didn't want to go a week without washing her mug. She didn't ask for people to post whether or not they survived not doing it. It was obvious she knew she could just rinse, but clearly she didn't want to... hence the question! If you didn't have something worthwhile to add (and by that I mean a helpful reply to the OP's question), why bother?

Sometimes we rinse with the hot water they have to make tea. I like to burn the germs away.
