Do you remove the sponge part after each use and wash?

You can remove the sponge after each use but I just squeeze & rinse until the water runs clear.

I wipe it out with a paper towel after each use, and wash by hand every two or three days. I also leave it on 24/7

Hi, after I use my pan I wash either in hot or warm soapy water. Then I dry it with a towel.

All the previous answers are correct. Also, we recommend to sanitize the sponge once every two weeks. To sanitize the sponge, place the sponge in a bowl of water and microwave it in a normal setting for 1:30 minute.

yes it does, the sponge comes with a string. If you use it only for the recommended time, like 6 months or so and keep it in a clean and fresh place, it won't get bacteria anyway. Hope it helps!

Only exceptionally says the instructions. Spot clean with lukewarm water and a sponge. I didn't wash it yet, so I don't really know. I would advise you to use delicate or hand wash.

Yes, I've taken the filter in the upright section out several times and washed it. It's a spongey foam material that takes a bit of time to dry fully, but it can be washed. Leave it out for a solid 24 hrs to dry after washing, though, because even the slightest moisture will gunk up the filter with dirt.

I usually just take it apart and wash it. I know it says not to but I've never had issues.

I did. I removed the gravel at the bottom and replaced it with charcoal. Their is a plastic piece that divides the bottom from the sponges.

Yes, we keep it rinsed out after every use, and once per week, we take the protective grid out and use a mild cleaner such as soap or occasionally some baking soda swish around, rinse and done.

Hi Anne, I normally just use dish washing soap and sponge to clean with water, next time use rube globes to prevent the membrane to adder it to you skin. ;)

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!

You can remove it after a bath. In fact I do this everyday to air it out when it's wet and the suction cups are still strong.

I'm not sure. I always wash it by hand. I grease it with coconut oil, and put a piece of parchment paper on the bottom, so really, the clean up (soap and a sponge) is super easy.

no, I just hand washed and started using it. This is my 2nd pot and I love it.

I managed to wash and use the sponges for a long time so I never buy new ones. If I ever need replacement I will try to contact the manufacturers.
