Thanks

Rinse with hot water and use a bottle brush to get the corners?

Why would it not be dishwasher safe? The thing can take a PC cycle over and over. 
I do as tiger suggested, but sometimes it doesn't always work. When agar is stubborn to come out I'll fill it with bleach, and hot water, then let it soak for about an hour.

I mix 100ml water and 100ml vinegar in my agar bottles. Put cap on loose, so it can vent. Stick in microwave for a few min until it boils and steams. Tighten cap down and shake the shit out of it, oven mitts needed! It seems to always get the gunk out for me.

As you can see, DAVO, there are several ways to skin this cat, so best is again subjective. Try all these suggestions out and go with method that works best for you.

Thanks everyone. In case any one is wondering I really do listen and use the advice I receive on this fantastic website. I'm new but I'm doing great because of Shroomery! I figure maybe 2 or 3 more weeks of stupid questions! LOL!

Hamloaf I want to pull the trigger on some slant test tubes, do you think 17x150 mm with a screw on top is the way to go? Glass or Plastic? What do you use?
Thanks

Sounds legit. I use glass and plastic tubes. Lately it's been plastic. These are ones I've been using and how I use them. https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/25018245#25018245

I don't have a microwave but I fill my bottles with water, put them in a pot of water and boil it. Agar will liquify again if you heat it.

Used to do that too for the same reason (no microwave) until soaking in a slightly heavy bleach solution was discovered.

Wow, do you guys just use a pressure cooker to cook everything? 
I just rinse out my bottles before it has a chance to solidify, failing that, hot tap water with a drop of dish soap, shake the hell out of it, dump and repeat if necessary. I also pop off the lip rings and rinse them and the neck off.
