how do you clean this container?

I just use soapy hot water and hand wash it. I suppose it can go into the dishwasher, but since it's so small, I hand wash. I also use paper towels to soak up the oil before I wash it.

I put it in the dish washer and run it through the cycle with my other dishes. I have washed it by hand using Dawn dish soap and hot water.

I used the dishwasher. Since it is used to store oil, it tends to need the hottest water possible.

I wipe clean with Clorox degreaser on a microfiber cloth! Still looks new and we use it a whole lot! And one wipe dry to remove any left degreaser! If done this way, degreaser should not contaminate inside grease!

I just rinse it off with water after i get done using it. Just make sure all the little pieces of food aren't on it cuz then it takes some scrubbing:)

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.

I just use soap and water. I was it out right away and make sure it dries completely. I'm sure some kind of cleaning solution would work hopefully...

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 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.

When it was new I rinsed it with 50/50 water and vinegar to clean it the first time. I usually just put a little dish soap in it now "just a drop or two" fill it half full of water, shake it really good and rinse a few times.

I find that the cheapest way to clean these things is with Polident. One tablet dissolved into the water before pouring it into the steam chamber, then run 2 or 3 batches of clear water through it to rinse. If this doesn't clean it, you need to buy a new one.

You don't really have to clean it. But if you want to you can mix a little soap and warm water and pour it through the unit. If you use it for other liquids besides water just make sure you flush it out with water really good. :)

I wash it with some soap on a rag. Then wipe it out. I've never had a spill so it never got that dirty.

I'm about to purchase this, and I'll share the same cleaning method on it as I do my george foreman grill... when done, unplug it, and while still hot, wet a couple of paper towels, loosely wring them out so they won't drip, lay them over the open grill, then close it ... it'll 'steam clean' itself, & when you're done eating, open it back up again & use the paper towels to complete the wipe & clean process before storing.

I would use a gentle dish soap or maybe a spray household cleaner if they're really grimy. Just don't let any liquid run down inside!
