Soak them in oxyclean and rinse well. Unless you can see stuff on the inside of the bottle you don't really need a brush.

is running them through a dishwasher and then letting them soak with star san good enough? i was thinking of first running them through dishwasher then filling them with star san solution and letting them sit for a few minutes then dumping out the star san and putting a little saran wrap over the bottle mouth to keep them clean until use. does that sound like a good plan?

I only use the dishwasher to rinse after I have rinsed them. It really doesn't CLEAN bottles very well.
Some guys will pop them in the DW with high heat dry to sanitize them but for cleaning, a good soak in oxyclean and a great rinse is the ticket.
But as you consume the beers, a good rinse after you pour it is your best friend.
