Before the first use you should boil them for 5 minutes to sterilize them. Then just wash them in hot soapy water using a bottle brush.
My baby is 9 months old and we still do not let his bottles get mixed in with the rest of the dirty dishes in the sink, but that is just us, we are fanatical about germs.

rinse bottles after every use. fill them about half way with water, put a few drops of dish soap in each one. Use a bottle brush to scrub out the bottles very well, then rinse them in hot water. Allow them to air dry upside down on a bottle rack or in a dish drainer. take apart the nipples and rings and wash them well with a nipple brush. force soapy water through the nipple, then force clean water through. rinse well and allow to dry before putting them back together.
I would recommend replacing the bottle brush when it starts to look worn. And I recommend buying a few with the separate little nipple brushes (Munchkin makes great ones). the nipple brushes last longer and when you pitch the old bottle brush, save the nipples brushes. They are perfect for sippy cup valves and spouts.
Also if you use a drying rack, be sure to wash it every week or so.

Use a nipple brush to clean the inside and outside of the nipple, especially around the rim. Wash bottle in soapy water, rinse well. Boil water n stove for three minutes, turn off heat. Allow to cool to touch, dry well.

Rinse thoroughly in warm soapy water with a proper bottle brush to get right to the end and around the sides. There is smaller brushes to get into the teat part and clean it.
Then use a microwave steamer to sterilise them.

The dishwasher works wonders & they come out sterile.
Also, hot water, a good bottle brush and a microwave sterilizer (if it's ok for the type of bottle you are using). You can also boil them.

Hot water is all that is really necessary. No need to make things harder than they need to be. I rinse out my son's bottle with hot water after every use. And then I wash it out after a day's use.

In hot soapy water. Then boil them for 5 minutes. Viola
