I just bought a Sawyer mini filter and a Hoser 3L. My question is. What are some good ways to clean and store them? Especially the sawyer, can it get moldy inside? Putting something "away" wet for a while scares me.
 
With my Sawyer after a trip I back flush per directions, then very slowly use the syringe to push air through it. I then store it propped up with the tip inside a socket. That allows a gap for some drainage. There is something in the instructions about using bleach for long term storage. If I lived in a humid climate I would just replace it every year.

I shake mine out, backflush it with the syringer and set it out to dry standing upright. Bladders I bend an old wire hanger to hold the pouch open and hang it upside down to dry.
