What is the best way to clean the top and bottom plastic?

The top and bottom pieces come right off so you can run them under water for a second and soap them if you want. Just pop them back on after.

I use a toothbrush, hot water, and if necessary a little soap, and rinse well. Both ends come off on mine.

Just pop the top and bottom off and clean them in hot soapy water. I use a small scrub brush on them. Have no problems, best way I have found to clean it.

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.

It will get stained, no way around it. I just use dish soap and the same scrubber I use on the dishes.

Every now and then I run the filter and the fountain threw a dishwasher cycle without the soap and it keeps the parts really nice and clean.

I use rubbing alcohol to clean both sides. I put it in a spray bottle and clean it with paper towels.

I use a canister vacuum. I have heard where other wash them in water but I have never tried that.

Jason I would try the best I could to keep it off rubber and plastic parts. If you accidentally get some of this solvent on any rubber or plastic parts simply wipe it off.

I cleaned ours with vinegar and water, a friend told me a long time ago to do that, he says it cleans that plastic taste out. They manufacture them and then package them and then they set. He says run a couple cups of vinegar water in it then just clear water, and ours was fine.

Wash with dishwashing soap and add a splash of vinegar and rince..it should be perfect! Plastic sometimes has an odor but with wear it goes away

I would use a nylon spatula and sponge with a little soap and gently rub it out. Clean it after each use carefully as mentioned after turning it off for about ten mins.

You can either soak it soapy water and scrub it with a brush or wash it in the dishwasher.

Take the tray out of the bottom and turn the printer on it's front side. Use some rubbing alcohol and a towel to clean the rubber paper pickup in the middle. Problem solved--for awhile.

I use soft scrub on the surface to get off the 'stuck' pieces and then put it in the dishwasher. Never had a problem.

They are plastic and it is pretty easy to clean. I just wipe mine out and let it air dry.

I just use Mr. Clean Eraser. Don't put in dishwasher raw aluminum on bottom turns black

I suggest a cleaner that is save for plastics called Bar Keeper's Friend. It is one of the best kitchen cleaners I've discovered over the decades. It comes in a gold color container similar in shape to what you find "Comet/Ajax" in but this is non-abrasive and leaves no residue. I've used it with a scrubby pad to completely recover a pan with years of cooked on dark gook on the bottom, that's how good it is. Amazon carries it too: Bar Keepers Friend® Cleanser & Polish 12 Oz Two Pack

I would use windex or glass cleaner or a liquid cleaner that won't melt plastic! Obviously, a scrubbing pad and powders like Comet or Ajax, etc. won't work.
