I've read that the bottle can be washed in the dishwasher if you remove the collar. How does one remove the collar/strap?

The collar strap is attached to the top. It's a plastic ring that can be pulled away from the bottle and replaced after washing. I haven't put mine in the dishwasher...just used a bottle brush and dish soap to clean it.

I don't think it can be removed easily, if at all. You would have to force it. I've had mine for over 5 years and I usually just rinse it out and put some vinegar in and swish it around to make sure no metallic tastes come out with the water. I've used dishsoap too.

I usually clean them in the dishwasher. I use the bottles primarily for water but also for instant tea. After tea, I wash them with liquid detergent, if away from home. This also removes any temporary tea stains.

The bottle itself can go in the dishwasher. It doesn't need much, depending on what you put in it; if all you use is water, you only need to wash the top part.

It can be put in dishwasher, but the plastic tends to cloud up. A cloudy bottle doesn't bother me though.

It's easy to remove the collar. I just make the leather strap loose without completely undoing it, and then slip off the two wood halves. Then I just pop into the dishwasher for cleaning. To reassemble, I position the two halves and slip the leather loop back on. Does no take more than 2 minutes of your life to do..

The cap is removable by twisting off, and I wash it regularly in the dishwasher. The bag itself, however, should be hand-washed. I made the mistake of putting mine in the dishwasher, and ever since the water has tasted like detergent. I've tried everything to get the smell out (baking soda, vinegar, etc.) but nothing works. Eventually had to toss it.

Sorry, don't have a dishwasher; dont see why dishwasher would be necessary as i just wipe off bottles or run under warm water if necessary; excellent bottles

The water bottle itself unscrews to fill with the water; if you twist you can take the water bottle and lid off at once. This leaves the metal reservoir and bottom tray . Then pop the reservoir out of the bottom and clean. You can either put it in the dishwasher or just scrub in the sink. Put back together the way you took it apart. I've had mine for two years and I clean it every time I fill with fresh water.

Per the instruction manual that came with it, "it is not recommended to wash in the dishwasher as this may damage the bottle and head." I just fill it with warm water and dishwashing soap, open the valve a bit, to clean the valve, then rinse with warm water.

Best you can do is rinse it right away after a pitcher is finished and it comes very clean in the dishwasher if you have one. No bottle brush I found can get into the handle, I can't stand the design of it for that reason. I also put a drop of dish soap, few inches of water, cap on and shake hard.

Yes, but it's not easy to get back on again. You can put it through the dishwasher with the sleeve on. The only reason I removed it was because I dropped the bottle and wanted to make sure it wasn't cracked. (It wasn't.)

We run ours through the dishwasher with the bite valve open. We then rinse, especially under the valve disk. We also ocassionally spray bleach in the spout before washing. So far so good, but we only use our bottles for water.

i have never taken the wrap off not knowing how well it would go back on, but I have never gotten the outside of the bottle that dirty that I felt I needed to remove it totally. I soak it in hot soapy water and lift the wrap and wash underneath it, rinse in hot water, and then let it dry.

According to the label, It can be washed in the dishwasher on the top rack. However I have not placed mine in the dishwasher.

No clue get a bottle and try. Turn it upside down in your utensil tray and run dishwasher as hot as it goes. Usually Sani Wash. It will use the entire bottle it is not multi use. My dishwasher came out looking all new lol. I did not open until next day.

I can't imagine putting the seat in the dishwasher. It would be too large. It seems just as easy to wash the straps in the sink with soap and water and the seat itself is easy to wipe clean.

Sorry I can't help you as I have never put it in the dishwasher. It is so easy to just rinse it clean when it is in the sink.
