Does anyone have a recommendation for how to clean the scoop? I would just boil it or something, but with the rubber, not sure of best way to sanitize

I put it in a bucket and pour hot soapy water on it and use an old scrubby sponge.

I just clean it with hot soapy water, and if need be, use a Brillo pad on it.

The best way I think would be to find a little container that is the perfect size to sit it in between scoops, and when you're ready to clean it, yeah, just dump boiling water into that container and then pour it out outside or in the toilet. Then you dont have to feel gross about it being in a bucket or something, adn also you have somewhere to store it in between. I don't think you really need soap usually boiling water will pull everything off and of course it sanitizes it so why use soap. That's what i do with my current one, and I just wipe the handle with a bleach wipe once in a while (more often).

I soaked just the bottom metal scoop in a bucket of hot water & ammonia. It came out like new.

I just put some water in it and a tiny bit of liquid dish soap and then cover the top with my hand and shake vigorously. Then rinse it out with more water to get the soap out. The liquid soap is probably unnecessary, in all actuality.

Same here. I had used a level scoop. Tried again with heaping scoops. Got very good.

I use s scoop from pet store and turn it sideways. The original scoop's holes are too big.

I have been using a bit of dish soap, sponge and warm water. Being stainless steel, I figure that should work okay and have not seen any problems with it.

Pour some Bar Keepers Friend inside and let it sit for about 10 minutes then scrub it with some dish soap and rinse. The same thing happened to me and this is how i fixed the problem.

Use clean water. It doesn't get gross. Had ours for years, very easy to clean.

I boiled it the first time, then just used soap and water after that. I actually had to buy a new one because I put my first one in the dishwasher and it melted!

If you're talking about the little coolie hat-shaped thing inside the cup that holds the whole beans, I couldn't get that off to clean it. It was too tight. I searched for instructions but couldn't find any. Sounds like you got it off and the cup too. There must be a peg on the bottom of the cup that fits into a hole if you get it all lined up right. I'm sorry I can't be more helpful.

Hi again Robin,Can you give any advice on how you used the steamer to clean your tub? I just finally tried mine out last night and it didn't really lift off the soap scum. Maybe it was just too much scum for it to handle?Also, it left residue from what it had picked up on the floor the first time. Any tips?Thanks for your advice!Renee

Wash the inside & lip of the cup with soap and water and rinse. I never let my cup soak in soapy water. Love this cup!

Hi - Here's what I do: I heat the grill up for a minute or so and when it's hot I use soapy water and a wash cloth and wipe it clean. It's really hard to clean when it's cold and very easy to clean when it's warm. Good Luck!!

I agree with the water and vinegar solution. This is needed only rarely. I put the pot right in the dishwasher occasionally and rinse it out on a regular basis with plain or soapy water - rinse well The plastic parts may warp in a dishwasher that is run on sanitize but otherwise those are OK in the dishwasher too.

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

Good news I tried something I took mine and rinsed it a few times under warm water then washed the whole thing in warm soapy water now it's nice and clean and good to go, it's all dry now so washing didn't ruin it. I couldn't get the filter out of mine either my friend has one same thing

They said that you can put it in a dishwasher, but I haven't done that yet because I don't want to ruin mine. The thing is awesome. I just run tap water through it. Try soap and water and a sponge..? Water and vinegar..?

Mine is the same as everyone else's! HeeHee! I'll just add a tip to use distilled water in it, so you don't get a buildup of stuff inside, because it's not terribly easy to clean. I have two, both are working great, and I would buy again.
