Give it a good rinse with hot water. If the mold is hard or dried on, you might want to fill it with hot water and a little bit of dish soap and let it sit for about 20 minutes.
Pour in 1/3 cup dry, uncooked rice and 1/3 cup baking soda. The rice will remove any dried on particles while the baking soda will disinfect and remove odor.
Fill the bottle halfway with hot water and add a dollop of dish soap
Screw on the lid tightly, and shake vigorously. Make sure that if your bottle has a flip-top or pop up top that you hold it closed.
While holding the bottle over a sink, slowly unscrew the lid (you will have the same reaction as if you had just shaken a bottle of soda, so be careful to prevent an explosive mess)
Pour out the contents and rinse the bottle well. Stand upside down in a dish rack to let it dry, then give it another rinse before putting it away. To disinfect the bottle after cleaning, use a mild bleach and water solution. Keep the bottle in it for at least 15 minutes or until it is dry and rinse it out. Keep it in distilled vinegar or hydrogen peroxide for about 10 minutes or until it is dry and rinse it out. Or spray peroxide and distilled vinegar between uses.
