It'd be so much easier to have one where I can take off the top and wash the whole thing thoroughly. I was hoping to get more replies. Quote \| Reply \| Report

LOL Since we are dealing with liquid instead of seed it makes it way more difficult. I just use the others and wash them with a brush and hot soapy water. If ye soak them a bit they come clean pretty easy. I do love the hummers tho!! Ye need to start a wee savings fer the one ye want. [/COLOR] Quote \| Reply \| Report

I have the standard red ones with 3 stations on it. But they can be hard to clean. I would love to come up with a way to make one like the ones that are shaped like cereal bowls (they are expensive!). Something I can just take the top off and wash it real good. I'm fairly creative but this has me stumped! Quote \| Reply \| Report
