How do you clean these? Are there spots mold can build up?

I put the whole thing in the dishwasher once a week or so, and we haven't had any issues with mold. My daughter has used it daily for 9 months or so. I'm sure mold could develop around the straw if you don't remove it periodically to clean.

If left open and tipped over, does the straw prevent (or minimize) spilling?

Not really. There's no valve, it's just a straw. When you close the top there is a little plastic piece that you slide over which locks the top down. The only issues we've had with spilling is when my kids forget to slide that lock over.

The lid had locked. How do I open it?

Thank you for your inquiry. From what I can see on the water bottle top, there is a small lever on the side that opens and locks the bottle top. Regards

Do these bottles sweat? Looking for a plastic water bottle for elementary kids to have at their desk so it cannot sweat.

Only the tiniest bit. I have one kid keep it in her lunch box, and her lunch box comes home dry. The other keeps it at her desk and says it's fine. I like that it holds a lot, but isn't one of those giant bottles that won't fit in a backpack side pocket!
