No, your hand is not too fat!!! Trying to clean a reusable bottle is often like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole! It's just darn near impossible.
So, my friend Tara T. suggests taking a paper towel or two. Stick the towel in the bottle with a little water and dish soap, replace the cap and shake! The paper towel will wipe the inside of the bottle.... more effective than just shaking soap and water.

Hey Cinderella: Stopping The Money Flush - Toilet Paper Trick
Feel like you're always changing the toilet paper roll?Is there a weekly call for Dad The Plumber to unclog the commode?
If it seems your constantly putting toilet paper on your grocery list, try this easy trick.
Step on the new roll, creasing the cardboard roll. When you put it on the roller, the paper should flip (not roll) just a few times before it tears off. No more free-rolling limiting usageThis will also deter the toddlers from taking off down the hall with a long strip unraveling behind them savings a mess and a ton of money!

Hey Cinderella: Dryer Sheets For A Penny A Load (or less)!
Our family is constantly doing laundry. With 6 of us and dog we easily hit 7-10 loads weekly.
Here's an easy-peasy tip on maximizing your savings on dryer sheets!
Wait until your dryer sheets are at their rock bottom price!
(I NEVER spend more than $2 on an 80-ct box)
I, however, cut mine in fourths costing our family less than ⅔¢!!
The scent is still perfect and there's no static cling!
Try ¼s first and if you don't like the results, stick with ½s.
Either way, you are at least doubling your savings!
Snuggle original price: $4.59/80 sheets
Snuggle on sale: $2.99/80 sheets
Double $.50 coupon: $1.99/80 sheets
Total Shopping savings = $2.60
Total Savings when Sheets are cut in half = $5.20
Total Savings when cut in fourths = $10.40 per box!!!!!!
At the low-ball 7 loads of laundry a week, we need about 364 sheets a year. With cutting our sheets in quarters we need less than 1¼ box a year! Savings us almost $19 a year! At the high-end (10 loads a week) we need 520 sheets a year. Using only about 1⅔ box saves us nearly $27 a year! That's the equivalent of a water bill in our house!
Stock up when you can get your sheets at the rock bottom price and save even more!
