I was going to purchase a Stainless Steel Chainmail Scrubber to clean this with. What do you recommend I clean this weight with?

That would be an excellent choice, basically treat it like any other piece of cast iron cooking utensil.

Your choice of cleaner sounds fine. I wrap my cast iron weight with aluminium foil before using. Dish washing liquid cleans it without any problems because it never gets greasy.

This is a heavy duty squeezer, probably the toughest utensil I own, so I think you would be OK with a scrubbie since it is made of stainless steel, but so far I haven't had to use one. I thumb rinse after using, then stick it upright and spread apart in the dishwasher utensil holder. I am glad I paid a bit more and bought this squeezer vs. a plastic squeezer. The weight and strength of this utensil does the work of squeezing every drop from citrus.

I find it best to handwash it with mild soapy water. I wouldn't want the harsh dishwasher soap to rub off the details!

I got the stainless steel one. Just thought it would clean better. Works very well.

I use citrus shine stainless steal wipes. I use them on my stainless steel appliances also. I use one wipe for my trash can and all of my large kitchen appliances. Follow up with a dry paper towel and looks just like new.

Hard water scale. I've used vinegar to soak. I guess you could use CLR or Lime-Away if you rinse really well.

Wash lightly with soap & sponge when still hot. You dont want to scrub too much to keep it seasoned (or reseason it).If you get rust, scrub with steel wool, rinse, dry thoroughly, then oil and begin re-seasoning.

I use a scrub daddy scrubber from QVC on mine with Dawn liquid soap and that should do the job. Hope it helps if not I would contact Rachael Ray.com and tell them about your problem

I hand wash mine (no dish washer). I also use the nonabrasive scrubber and have had no problems.You may have received a flawed product and should contact the company.

It is stainless steel. Steel wool will work, or a stiff grill brush. I get mine hot/warm and it comes clean fast

I suggest a cleaner that is save for plastics called Bar Keeper's Friend. It is one of the best kitchen cleaners I've discovered over the decades. It comes in a gold color container similar in shape to what you find "Comet/Ajax" in but this is non-abrasive and leaves no residue. I've used it with a scrubby pad to completely recover a pan with years of cooked on dark gook on the bottom, that's how good it is. Amazon carries it too: Bar Keepers Friend® Cleanser & Polish 12 Oz Two Pack

Hi. One side is a mild sponge, the other side is grid shaped, flat tho. I can't tell if it is a harder plastic or some light metal. Either way, it is not a 'bad' product for the price. But, I think the heavy duty 3M scrubbers would work as well, if not better. The heavier duty ones I have seen in Home Improvement stores. The heaviest ones are brown (the ones in regular stores are green)

I have not had to clean it yet, but a soft rag and soap and water should maintain the finish, stainless steel is very durable. The most important thing is to not use anything that will scratch, no scotch brite, s.o.s. or brillo pad.

I normally use a cotton wash cloth but likely this is just a preference of mine. A sponge would work too. I have also used the green scrubbing side of a Scotch-Brite sponge when cleaning hard water deposits from a stainless steel sink.

Calphalon recommends using Bon Ami for cleaning, that and a scrubby type sponge should do it. Calphalon also makes their own cleaner that I use occasionally to keep my cookware looking good. I have had many of my pieces for 17+ years and they all look as good as new.

I use cast iron. So, I rarely clean it after a greasy pan. However, if I ever use it on my Pyrex and it gets greasy, then I sometimes use a bit of dish soap and rub it together in my hands. It is stainless steel. So, it doesn't need much, if any, upkeep. It is the best addition I have ever added to my kitchen cleaning supplies.
