Cleaning How the heck do you clean the water bottles properly?

[punkpiggies]

I've bought freaking special brushes that are meant to clean baby bottles, but i still can't get them clean as much as i want. I tried soaking them in hot water, but that also doesn't help. I'm kind of a perfectionist when it comes to things like this and i really want to get them all of the crap out of the bottom. If any of you have tips on how to clean those annoying water bottles i'd appreciate it a lot!!
Also, sorry if this has been asked before.

Same here, toothbrush haha then I use those thin brushes for cleaning straws (the name is escaping me lol) to clean out the spout. Then a q-tip to clean the cap. I'm also a perfectionist, everything must sparkle!! Lol

I use a bottle brush designed for small pet water bottles.

I read a suggestion to put a small handful of dry rice in the bottle with some water and shake it.
