I use milton but I also have one of those little brushes on a very long springy handle thing. You can get a kit from wiggle or millets etc its about £10 and comes with 3 different brushes.
agree with using Milton regularly (about avery 4/5 uses) and also with runnerbeen and the long bottle brush - once the mould is showing in the tube, Miltons won't get rid of it but the bottle brush followed by leaving it soak in Milton's for 24hrs will
Thanks for that, you've been really helpful. I've also heard of someone keeping their bladder and tube in the freezer! My freezer's always packed full though, so it looks like the airing cupboard wins it.
Don't use any form of washing up liquid though. Did that once and thought i had rinsed it properly, until i got back after a run, opened it up to empty it and had a foaming bladder. fortunately I had only drunk a few sips as the weather had turned cooler once I was out. It was not good. LOL

Hiya,
buy some Miltons sterilising tablets and fill your camelbak bladder with it ensuring you fill the tube. That should kill all the nasties in there.

Funny enough I have just finished doing mine.
dry the bladder and tube in an airing cupboard - bugs and fungus don't grow on dry surfaces.........
