Can you clean the Gel?, with water?

No, it doesn't work that way... the gel itself is an oil based product and it sticks/absorbs/wraps around/engulfs anything it picks up out of your electronics or whatever you clean it with. That dirt it collects is why the color changes, it gets darker because it picks up dirt and other junk. So you can not just clean it, there might be a process the manufacturer uses to clean it, if they even recycle the product, but we the consumer can not just clean it with soap and water.

From what I can see, you replace it. The container says to replace when it turns a certain color.

No and after a whike it starts shedding so the surface your trying to clean haa yellow lint on it I would not buy this again

I don't think cleaning the gel is possible, as it's made to gather dust and crumbs and absorb it. The color darkens to tell you when it's time to throw it out and replace it.

I have not tried... I do not think it would be wise as it would dilute the cleaner that is in the gel. Also, it may absorb the water and become useless. I have had this product for a few months and have been regularly cleaning my computer vents, usb ports and my keyboard and it has not failed to do as advertised. I would definitely recommend this!

I don't think so...I've never put it in there anyway. I think hand wash with only warm soapy water. You wouldn't want to heat up the gel too much I would think. It's tall and I don't think it would clean well in the washer in any case.

I keep mine clean AND DRY all the time. I would soak it in a mild bleach solution, rinse well and dry it out completely.

I have cleaned my a few time and had no trouble afterware. I don't dip in water just wipe it out and let stand an dry for a few hours.

Very carefully. You have to poor out access purified water from previous use, and then wipe out completely with dry paper towel. I don't wet it with water because I don't want to risk breaking the unit, so I wipe clean every time. The color of the unit gets stained from the oils, so getting it back to its original color won't happen, but that's ok. This method should clean the unit pretty effectively.

Yes you can. This gel only comes off with filing. Acetone does not take it off

I don't think you can. I soak mine in a little bit of bleach with warm water for a few hours.

I have not cleaned it this way but see no reason why you couldn't. In fact Ill give it a try.

Your not going to clean this properly, just clean it as best you can with hot water and alcohol, use it for a length of time & replace.

Nope. Gel is already in the corkcicle. Just pop it in the feezer and away you go.

No I don't think so. I've only dry cleaned mine. The filling will melt and become lumpy in warm water. Dry clean it.

Just add more water to the fill line. The gel inside lasts a really long time.

I have not tried the gel myself, I bought a cleaning product that is basically an isopropyl alcohol solution which cleans the skin and removes oils, extending the life of the pads. Other people seem to really like the gel (different types of products, so you could do both) so I might try that some day. I would assume you wouldn't need very much gel, I would recommend you start with a small container and see how it goes.

As far as I can tell you can't. I clean mine immediately after every use. Just ensure you run plenty of water through it.

I would say no. It's a gel product so I wouldn't think you can mix it with water.

I would suggest using the Xikar solution. The gel inside might not react the same way with distilled water as it does with the Xikar Propolene Glycol solution. Just my opinion.

Sorry for the tardy response :\ I normally just soak it in warm water with a little soap. Then wipe with sponge, risne well, and air dry. Hope this helps!
