If you plan to use them for chocolates, it's best NOT to wash 'em at all, actually. It warps the plastic then you get bubbles in the formed chocolates. I wipe mine out and leave it at that (and store them where they can't get dirty, of course!)
Might sound gross to some, but it's like those pizza stones... you don't wash them, either!

I wash the bottles out, 'cause really the thing about the forms is that they need to keep their shape and stay FLAT (not warp). Sticking them in the dishwasher, or even washing them a lot, will bend the plastic after a while. Hence the bubbles!
The only important bit about cleaning anything else is that if you're working with chocolate you need to make sure there is no moisture at all left in those bottles or other tools. Water + chocolate = disaster! But, that said, I stick that stuff in the dishwasher when I'm done making a bacth, but I just make sure it's really really dry before I put it away. I have enough bottles that if I'm making chocolates 2 days in a row, I don't have to use the same ones on the second day so they have time to dry.
I can talk about chocolate allllllll day!
