Is the air brush cleaner needed, or will plain water work?

Plain water works fine, never used a cleaner on my unit (over a year) since I just use food color and not for paints...

Yes plain water is useful. No chemical liquid needed when cleaning tablets, phones, etc. The clothes are washable. Hope this helps.

I've used soap and water with regular brushes and foam brushes and it cleaned both with no problem. Just make sure you clean it right away. Don't let it set.

It is my understanding that they do not recommend adding anything to the water although if anything vinegar would be the safest in my opinion. I got to know these steamers helping a friend clean her vacation rentals and we have had the occasion to spray the floor first with a bleach solution(for odor) or glass cleaner( to shine tile) and then go over with the steamer which worked well both times. That way you get the extra help of the solution without getting any in the mechanism of the steamer. I hope that helps.

When I spoke with New Air, they told me that the only thing I would need to do is empty the water...and the unit will let you know when it needs to be emptied. There is a water plug and a hose that comes with the unit. I have not had to empty the unit yet...possibly because I have only used it for heating so far. I will know if I need to drain the unit when I use the air conditioning.

I believe it says in the instructions you need to move it closer to the filter to get a water flow / movement but I may be wrong. If that doesn't work use a flat head open and clean if it was a used one.

You'll need a compressor and water trap also. If you are new to airbrushing I would suggest this setup found here: http://www.amazon.com/Master-Airbrush-Performance-Multi-purpose-Compressor-The/dp/B001TO578Q/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1404153934&sr=8-2&keywords=airbrush+compressor

While I am not an expert, I am a professional makeup artist, and one of the main reasons I went with this airbrush was because you can use it with many different mediums: alcohol based, water based, silicone based. I would see no reason why you would have to use water only, or why you couldn't use a disinfectant solution as well. Good luck!

Hi Scott. I have done both methods. For these Brushes, I would use a regular mild soap with water. Dont waist your money on certain cleansers, the brushes arent that good of a quality to do that. Just make sure after you clean the brushes pinch the tip of them and lay them on a flat surface or they will fuzz up and become useless.

It is not necessary. The cleaner has an auto-adjust system which will take care of all surfaces. Nothing to do.

You can buy their specialized liquid or you can use plain water with just a little dish soap mixed in. Both work well.

I just use an ordinary washing up brush. You don't need to get it 'clean' clean as you're going to refill it anyway (and charcoal's messy stuff). I use a flute brush for the clear tubing but be careful not to scratch it. Don't fill too full either as it will impede the flow of the fountain. I fill it no more than halfway for optimum results.

I just use a small amount of dish soap and hot water. If it needs it I will soak overnight and use a small plastic bristle brush. With rinsing after each use I hardly find the need for anything else.

I have not felt the need to use either on mine. I just use dish soap and water. I'm sure the scrubbie would be fine to use

Hi Tarie,I clean my airbrush every time after been used and I spend less than 5 minutes with warm water. But I am having a hard time to use this airbrush, I can not find the right make up, and the right way to use. I was practicing with water, and with some makeup, but did not work, I think that I was not a good idea to buy this airbrush. I do not know to use it.

I use cans as well as an airbrush, just keep the coats light and be prepared to replace the thin white pre-filter more often.

Yes. Their brand is water based and goes on smoothly. I since my airbrush system after each use and use alcohol or cleaner every other use. I have not experienced any clogging.
