I will say that cleaning them is tricky...
I have lot of miniature pure cotton cloths (handkerchiefs) that I use for this purpose.
I will shove one into the jar and then fill it with a bit of hot water and put the lid on, then shake it a lot. Up and down motions, and get it going in a circular motion too. It works well.
If it's a tougher job, I cut a square of scouring pad small enough to fit in the bottle, and then I use that in the same way as the rag. Shake it all about.
Then I let it sit in hot soapy water with the lid on, and I turn it upside down, then right side up a while later after changing the water with more hot.
Maybe it's a little obsessive, but saving these jars and keeping them clean are one of those foundational things in life that I feel we lost somewhere along the way with all the consumer culture of modern society.
