This product is very easy to clean. There are absolutely NO EXPOSED ELEMENTS! The tub itself is as smooth as a sink. You do not have to clean it each time you use it. The wax can stay in there and be used repeatedly until it is all gone. Then you resupply it with new wax. Very simple to use.

I haven't had to clean mine yet. I was just looking at it to see how hard it looks to clean. I think that once the wax gets a little lower I will just remove the wax when it is semi-hard. I think it will peel away from the plastic easily. I had spilled some wax on the sides before and it peeled right off the sides.

Iv'e washed mine many of times without covering and it's still working fine. Now you can't scrub on it hard but you can wipe it clean. As far as soaking it, it would depend on how hot the water is,how long and how strong the cleaner is.

It is not hard or time consuming. I just take a dry paper towel and wipe the inside. They suggest cleaning it when you change the essential oil scent so that's when I do it. I have had mine over a year.

So far, it is very easy. The instructions say that hot water and soap are all you need. I know it is not dishwasher safe, so I have been running water in the pot, a splash of soap, rinse. I washed it when I bought it and after every 2-3 uses; if I boil water and use the entire pot, I leave the lid up and let it air dry and dont bother washing it. We have hard water, so in glassware, I have to keep an eye out for hardwater rings - that is why I clean it every couple of uses and not every single use. Hope this helps!!! :-)

Very easy. It all comes apart and can easily be washed by hand, which is what I do, or put in the dishwasher. The only part that really can't be cleaned is the power head. I turn the grill to the 1" side and place it in the liner pan and put hot water and soap in the liner pan so the grill soaks while we eat. Easy peasy to clean after that!

yes, it is very easy to remove. I take mine into the kitchen sink and clean it. It is Teflon coated, so it cleans like a breeze. You can also remove the grill and use it indoors. I roasted a whole chicken indoors one day when it was raining.

Yes, it's very easy to clean. A little bit of soap & water will do the job.

I cleaned it weekly with a solution of mostly vinegar and water. It's not difficult to clean. You just have to do it weekly if you have hard water like we do. If you keep up with it weekly then there isn't any calcium buildup. This is always the difficult part in my opinion. Messy as it flakes everywhere and can be difficult to remove. Hope that helps!

It's super easy to clean - just use a bottle brush and hand wash. The top just unscrews and there are no little parts to remove and keep track of. I highly recommend this product.

Yes, it's very easy to clean. What surprises me is that you still have to use some kind of oil/butter something to keep things from sticking!!!

It's fairly easy to clean, the heating element slides right out and you can submerge the tub that holds the oil. Never submerge the heating element, but you can give it a good wipe down.

It's pretty simple. You just unscrew the bolt that holds the heating element in place and then remove the whole coil. After that you just clean everything. It's a little harder for me because I line the grill pan with lava rocks.

Yes, the kettle is very easy to clean - just rinse it out if needed (we are just boiling water in it). The only problem after months of use and many pots of water per day at the office, there were some mineral deposits on the bottom of the glass kettle where the heating element is - small round dots along the outer edge. All I needed to do was swish some CLR around in the bottom of the kettle and the mineral deposits came right out.

Yes it is easy to clean, but be careful around the inside base when you are changing the filter, as ours snapped off after we had it for about 6 months. KJ

I'm not an expert in the subject but the thing is the paraffin is an oil-based wax, not water, so doesn't provide the environment for bacteria Also the wax encapsulates everything it touches. You need to know that everytime you remove the wax from your skin, contain material that in long term will start to form sediment at the bottom of your machine. You have to clean your unit often. I reuse my wax, but I try to clean very good my feet and hands before use it. Isn't 100% that you will keep it free of bacteria. Other important point, you have to be the only one to use it, this is nor one of those things that you can share with your friends. I hope this help you.

Semi easily. It leaves a powdery residue if you don't wipe it. I don't clean it off after each time as it doesn't bother me. But when I do go to clean it after about 2 weeks it does take a little more effort than just rinsing it with soapy water.

It could be mildly abrasive to skin if you rubbed your body back and forth over it, but not if you did what normal people do when they take a bath. Regarding removal, it can be removed with lacquer thinner and a razor scraper (but realistically, why would you want to remove it?). This is a great substance and easy to apply.
