Mold smell. Bottle.

  I'd probably toss it, but bleach would be my suggestion.  10% solution.  Let it sit for 10-15 minutes, rinse with copious amounts of water then run through the dishwasher for good measure.  Bleach degrades pretty quickly when exposed to water.

  I'd toss it but i'm super scary when it comes to stuff like that.  Do you have one of those microwavable steaming bags?

  Yeah, steam could work too. Just doesn't have the pressure for a stubborn organism that you would need, but that would probably destroy the bottle too. I'm a microbiologist, so I love bleach.  10% solution, 10 minute contact time, kills everything!  Unfortunately it corrodes metal and bleaches fabrics...  But anything but fabric can usually stand a 10 minute one time soak. Hydrogen Peroxide kills everything too, 3% solution (probably pre-mixed in the drug store at that strength).

  I would toss it. DD has had a few sippys that were forgotten and I just throw them out.

  Same. I tried washing my DDs' old sippy cups with bleach, but I just couldn't bring myself to use them again, even after that.

  I'd throw it out. Buying a new one would be way easier than trying to clean it.

  Thanks guys! I'll try soaking it, if that doesn't work, I'll just toss it. I'm not worried about it being dirty still, that smell is gross though! Ick!
