Subject line pretty much says it all. I've been wondering about this for a while, but I've just discovered my A smells like it spent too long in a smoky pub.
The PVC body ought to be, I reckon, but I wonder about the glue in the head. Does anyone know for sure?

Y'know, it's not the water that would bother me about putting it in the dishwasher; it's the banging around and harsh detergents. I don't know about your dishwashers, but mine is pretty violent inside. Crystal and Glasses with stems stay out of it altogether.
If you really need to clean your water weasel, I'd say use some vodka (or whatever spirits you prefer... nothing foo-foo). Or, if you prefer to be more conventional, a MILD detergent and warm water... by hand.
My 2 cents,
Frank

So you drink the vodka, then play the whistle? That way some of the alcoholic fumes still in your mouth should go into the whistle, thereby cleaning it...? Sounds good to me, although I might substitute whisky for vodka.I'd say use some vodka (or whatever spirits you prefer... nothing foo-foo).

Coloured spirits like whisky are more likely to leave your whistle with a hangover in the morning, though a smooth single malt should be OK.
It would be safer to stick to clear spirits. Vodka, Gin or Bacardi Rum would fit the bill. But never mix your drinks.

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that schwing
