After using the straw cleaner to clean your straws or smalll items, rinse the bristles to dislodge any food or dirt stuck. Then dry the bristles with a towel and hang to dry, ready for it's next use.

We do not recommend dish washing as it may damage the straw cleaner.

When the straw cleaner has reached the end of it's life, you can cut away the coconut bristles and put it in the compost. And put the metal wire in the recycling. It's okay to put the metal wire in the recycling even if it has the coconut bristles as the heat in metal recycling will just burn anything other than the metal in the recycling process.
