Bird Watching: Cleaning hummingbird feeders, 1 by newhobby

I've heard about diseases that can be caught by the hummers if your feeder isn't properly cleaned. The web is full of ideas but I want the opinion of more expert individuals.... you guys! I have the standard bulb top, red bottom with yellow flowers, found at Wal-Mart kind. In the summer here it gets moldy pretty quickly and needs to be changed ever other day. I want to make sure every bit of it is clean enough to keep the hummers safe. What do all of you do? Thanks!
