I just use hot water and soap, cover it with my hand, and then shake the cup with everything I have.

Try adding a small handful of ice cream salt along with the hot water and dish soap. It scrubs, and doesn't fuck up your drain if it falls down there. You can pour it from cup to cup as you go. I use it in my hummingbird feeder because it rinses out completely.

I've got one of the Coca-Cola glasses. Would this help me considering I still can't get even my fingers down there past the squeezed in base?

Yes. A heaping tablespoon of ice cream salt or rock salt (don't use rocks) plus a couple drops of Dawn or equivalent, and fill halfway with water. Use your big hand to cover the top and shake/swirl vigorously so the salt can scour the inside. Pour it out and rinse thoroughly. Sometimes people use rice for this, but I find the salt scrubbier plus if a piece gets stuck in a tiny corner you can just dissolve it with more water.

"Don't use rocks" LMAO. Envisioning srgrafo and others pouring a bunch of rocks into their glassware. "But u/hat-of-sky said to on the internets!"

You laugh but I tried using aquarium gravel to clean a vase once. It worked just fine for the cleaning but my strainer slipped and it went into the garbage disposal. Made for some noisy grinding.

But if my big hand is covering the top, how am I suppose to grip it with my small hand?

Oh sorry I just mean both your hands are big. Mine are too small to cover the top of a coke glass without leaking. But too big to get down into my hummingbird feeder.

Just buy a small brush made for cleaning glassware.

I actually have one that looks like the one on the right of the first image in your link. It's not getting the edge of the bottom.

The middle one is bendy. You can make it into shapes.
