Cant see how a dishwasher is going to clean the inside of it
Bleach probably works or try Pro Alloy for a new one

I tried it on a few really bad nova ones a few years ago and it didn;t even touch the inside.
Suppose it depends how big the cap is ?

I've just bought an alloy one off of e-bay whats the best thing to clean the inside of it as its rusty dirty brown colour on the inside.
Cheers Simon.
