How do they clean the inside of the straw?

I used a disposable straw and was thinking of looking for a glass one (I
don't like the metallic taste that the S/S lip of a traveler's mug gives
me), but I don't know how to clean the build-ups from the inside of a straw
and want to avoid crossing flavors.
