Hah! Wash them every 3-4 days. Disassemble the pumps in particular. I have run one through the dishwasher (not the pump), and have also used rubbing alcohol and dilute bleach to try to kill the nasty looking stuff that will grow on them. Seriously, I was each of our two out twice a week. It is a big pain in the butt! However, they definitely encourage three of our four to drink more water. The fourth prefers water bowls in a couple of sinks.
