There's a new gadget out there that essentially cleans-in-place carboys, kegs, and lines (transfer, pump, beverage, gas, chilling). It's called Mark's Keg Washer. The homebrew DIYer can build such a gadget for a fraction of the cost using an immersion pump and common plumbing hardware. Check out these videos of Mark's Keg Washer in action:

Has Anyone Used This: Video - Carboy Cleaner
Using Better Bottles makes the old carboy-brush relatively useless since the plastic is susceptible to scratching. While PBW mostly eliminates fermentation build-up on the inside of the Better Bottle, I've had two instances where a chemical clean was not good enough. I needed to attach a small rag to my lees stirrer to gently rub away the stubborn gunk that PBW was unable to remove. Perhaps this would be a better solution for every cleaning!?
