MOM Tip:  If you love the plastic cups with straws this is a good tip. How often do your straws get ickies in them when you use something other than water in these plastic cups? Here’s a tip to help clean the straws and hard to reach crevices.

• Fold one end of the pipe cleaner about 1 inch. This may vary depending on the circumference of your straw. You may need to fold it over twice.
• Dab a dot of dish soap on the folded end of the Pipe Cleaner.
• Use Hot water to flush the straw out then stick the Pipe Cleaner in the straw.
• Twist, Turn and Pull in and out until your straw is to your standards.You may have to do this to the other end if your pipe cleaner does not reach the end.
• Rinse well with hot water and all clean. Quick, Easy and Cheap.
