Do you use the same sponge for the entire process? I just rinse it off in the bucket or i need to use a separate sponge for washing each panel?

#1- don't use a sponge! Sponges will hold dirt and other abrasive bits! Use a good microfiber towel or microfiber wash mit/sponge. When washing with this, you can use either one or two buckets. One for clear rinse water (for your mit/towel), then the 2nd bucket for the water with Ootimum No-Rinse. Personally, I have had no problems or scratches from using a single bucket with this product. I just rinse my microfiber mit out regularly. I then follow up after doing the entire vehicle, with a dry microfiber.

The instructions say to wash the tank in cold water on a regular basis. I have noticed some scale build up in the lower unit, so I usually remove it by wiping the area with warm water. I also wipe the metal plate and rubber gasket the same way with the unit unplugged. On an irregular basis I empty the lower unit and let it dry out. Finally, if I see any black mold growing on the bottom of the tank, I wipe that off with warm water.

I use stainless cleaner that I use on my appliances but sometimes I just wipe it with a wet sponge and then dry it with a papertowel

Like nothing else I've ever used. I use a chlorinated cleaner first . . .then, with a separate sponge, I go over it using the BKF. It helps prevent water staining for a day or two and shines in like it's brand new.

I use dawn dish washing liquid & very warm water. Use a soft sponge & rinse with very warm water & dry immediately with soft absorbent paper towels.

Don't take i apart to clean it, just put hot water & soap in a pan/cup and blend it for a few seconds then rinse and dry (unplug to dry!!).

I find it easy to use a soapy sponge with abrasive side to firmly but somewhat gently scrub both sides of the screen and outer ring. Handle is washed as well. This soap scrub action seems to remove all grease residue. A thorough rinse and then allow the implement to air dry - I hang it on a cup hook. Works for me. By the way, my dishwasher is my hands!!!

I rinse out the pot every time I use it, wipe off the outside with dry cloth. Works great for me!

Not sure however, I would hand wash anyway. I mean its not like it needs a scrub. Just a bit of a swish with your sponge.

I use a splash of laundry bleach in hot soapy water. Let it stand for a half hour or so. I let my dish cloth soak at the same time, keeping them both germ free. It has not harmed the pan.

I use a damp cloth. If needed, use just a speck of dish detergent but be sure to thoroughly remove all the soap

I would recommend using a small dish-brush. That way you can get every area. It would be very difficult with a sponge.

Hi DD:I have six (6) of theses filter on my tanks I clean one every two weeks just to keep from loosing all my good bacteria. I use the water remove from the tank it is on and just gently rinse in the bucket. I give the sponge 4 squeeze's under the water, then put everything back. The good bacteria lives on the surfaces on the gass, in the filter and sponges and on the substrate. If you only have 1 or two I would clean less frequently. Hope this helps. Good luck and always use prime as your decorator.

The BEST way is to wipe it out w/paper towels upon rinsing. Avoid "scratchy" cleaners always, but you can remove past buildup w/those "safe for Teflon" dishwashing sponges. Hope this helps!

I wash it out once per month, mainly because I over feed my beta. You do need a sponge filter on the intake, or you fish will be trapped by the suction. Also I only run the filter a few hours each day so the fish can rest.

I just put it in the sink and put some soap on it and scrub it with the sponge that they suggest. Then I keep running hot water until the water runs clear. It is difficult and a little messy but it works. It says not to do it but this is my second one and it never hurt the first one. I used sos pads on it and ruined the finish.

More or less Ive been using the same sponge for the last half year with no problems. The 2nd sponge I use on my heavy days to switch out. Not sure of the end life, i guess until it's not as absorbant. My sponges still look new to me.
