does it require special cleaning....will it turn green

Well, they definitely turn darker with use. Mine have not turned green. I suppose you could clean them with copper cleaner if you want the bright copper shine at all times. I like the darker look and have not used a special cleaner. I just make sure I hand wash and dry them very well.

The reason i purchased them is because of all the research i did these ones were ok in the dishwasher because they didn't have a lacquer finish..i have not noticed them turning green..don't think i have had them long enough and won't leave them outside, i believe weather brings the green out in copper.

The instructions with the mug are to wash by hand as soon as you are done using it. I did this and looked fine, no sign of turning green yet. Be careful not to put dish detergent right on mug as it did discolor a spot on mine. Warm soapy water is best.

Nancy,I have been very happy with these mugs, at this point I have not used anything to clean them, they could use some TLC, I think that you can actually use Ketchup to clean them with, or lemon juice and baking soda or salt. They do have some tarnish not really green (not bad at all considering I have not specially cleaned them since buying) but I think it will come off with ketchup. They are great mugs I think they are a little bigger mugs which is nice.

Yes/no....if you don't wash and dry immediately after use, water spots will form and some dark residue will remain. Don't fret if that happens...you can purchase a bottle of copper cleaner and clean/buff any residue off. I don't have to do this very often as long as I'm diligent about cleaning and drying them after each use. This mug is pure copper inside/out. Others are copper exterior only and an alloy inside which is easier to keep clean. Depends on if you want a full copper mug...I did

It does not turn green but it gets a patina from the condensation that occurs on the outside. I really like the patina makes it look rugged, but I suppose you could use copper cleaner and keep it shiny like this all the time.

All copper will turn green if it's not cared for. It gets water spots etc if not dried immediately. Cleaning is easy though. Just use ketchup and let it set then wash it and it's as good as new.

It is finished with a dark green stain....I supposed you could apply an additional stain if it were a dark color.

It does get dirty fairly easy, but it is very easy to clean with just a lysol or wet wipe of some kind. I clean mine about once a week and it's always looking brand new.

That is scary. No green in my pan. When I got mine I washed it in soapy water then let it dry and put oil - Wesson or olive oil and let it sit for a while and heated it up for a couple of minutes then washed again in soapy water. Now I just put it on top rack in dishwasher and the lid on the bottom rack. This is my second one of these and I love it. Good luck and again scary on the green gel.

I used a power washer to clean mine. We also sometimes used Simple Green liquid because I didn't want to damage the garden. We found the water pressure took off most dirt.

I do not know for sure, but, I wouldn't anyway. I soak mine in hot water, then use a soft bristled brush to clean it.

Mine didn't last a year, and I treated it with great care. It was weird - the green light came on, but it didn't heat up.

No special cleaner required.I run mine under tap water for three months of use. Then I clean it with the included deep cleaner module and I'm good for another three months.

Just keep it rinsed. Have never gotten it dirty enough to be a problem. Have only owned it a couple of months. Cheap enough to replace if it gets messed up badly. Matter of fact; I bought it as a replacement for the failing one in the used camper I recently purchased.

It does very well with a medium dilution of Simple Green. Use a generous amount of cleaning solution and the carpet brushes (if necessary).

You can only surface clean it; however, mine has not developed any odor or stains. I do clean it with the petvac attachment on my vacuum.

No cleaning necessary. Just junk! Bought mine around the same time but it holds the charge for at least 30 minutes, for now. Not as bad as yours but not much better. Unfortunately, welcome to the club.

I did mine overnight. It has a light on it that is red when you begin and it turns green when it's ready.

I wipe it down with simple green to remove the grease that spills on the mat. Hope this is helpful.

The key to that question is to never let it go dry. I check mine every other day & refill as needed.I keep a milk jug full of water inside the house with a touch of bleach in it so the water won't turn green.Hope this helps you out & enjoy!

Honestly I have never had to clean it. Im thinking a heavy duty degreaser or some type of acid base cleaner might do the trick. Maybe even bleach and let it soak. Sorry I couldn't be more help. Almost four years running nonstop and its still going strong.

No... not hard to clean at all. As stated in my previous review (I've evidently become an expert on this device), best way to clean it is to first rinse out with hot water, then put in more hot water almost to the top and turn on the whirring thingy. This will "swirl" the water around. If you still have any residue (it will be near the top), then just give it a swipe with a wet dishrag around the inside edge and down about as far as your fingers will reach. Be careful not to touch the little whirring thingy (paddle). Dunno what would happen, but just don't. Box is long gone, so don't remember about instructions, but these washing instructions have worked for me - every day - for nearly a year now. Just don't let any residue dry out on the inside and you shouldn't have any probs. Bottom is flexible rubber and removable... it's where the batteries go. Just don't submerge or leave to set in standing water. I have already bought one for all my kids for Christmas. Great product, especially for the money. Hope this helps.
