Unfortunately, I made the mistake and syrup poured into the bottle. Lemonade mixed it was all new so we have tried everything. Even after two weeks the lid was completely moldy and the bottle base which can not be solved has been formed of them the mold could be seen if you have looked up into the bottle. Black mold of something disgusting ..... we are not pigs, the bottle was hot rinsed after each use with the lid Spüli well. Everything I have tried to get the mold off. Out of frustration I then packed the bottles in the dishwasher though it is prohibited. Then the bottles were as expected over the mold but still stuck on all tuned. I think that's wrong that I can clean the bottles not reasonable for the price. Now we have an extra additionally buy glass bottles to between times to mix a lemonade. The bubbler is super but the solution with the plastic bottles is crap.
