What is the best way to clean the cup where the butter goes? I use a sponge and soap and clean thoroughly but it still feels greasy.

I have a hot water dispenser, which I use to rinse out the butter portion when it's empty. I then wash it with Dawn detergent, let it dry and cool off. I've never had a problem with it still feeling greasy.

Besides putting it in the dishwasher, I'm puzzled about it still feeling greasy after washing. I am in total agreement, with the ones that recommended Dawn dish soap. It's really the best, for so many things. That and good hot water.

I used hot water and Dawn dishwashing liquid and never have a problem with a greasy residue.

I wipe it first with a paper towel and then wash it in Dawn and rinse in really hot water. Dawn is the best grease removing dish detergent I have found.

I wash it either in dishwasher or with sponge and soap. When washing with sponge though I noticed it washes better with its soft side, not the scratchy one.

Just use a good quality liquid dish soap, (some are a lot better than others) and good"Hot" water to rinse with. I haven't had any problem. Also, I don't empty and wash every time it gets low.Just add some more butter and smooth it. I'm alone, so, if have several people making a mess you have a different problem.

I would try rubbing in some baby oil and once it has mixed and lost its stickyness try rubbing in dishwashing liquid with a dash of water. If it comes away launder normally.Good luck.

We use 1/4 # of stick butter. We let it get warm for a couple of hours and then press it firmly into the cup and it adheres just fine.

It's very easy to clean. Just wipe it with a damp or wet cloth or sponge. Air dry or use a kitchen towel.

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 always put mine in a cup of soapy water and let it run for a minute, then rinsed and dried. It always seem to come clean. Hope this helps.

I found using Goof off does a really good job and doesn't damage the cup. You might also try polish remover, too.

It's easy: use isopropyl alcohol and a clean cloth, then let it dry; clean both the suction cups and the surface.Needs more? Soap-scummy surfaces, surfaces cleaned with any bathroom cleaner and petroleum-based products (baby oil, petroleum jelly) are the enemy of the suction cup--just wash with dish detergent & finish up with the alcohol!

I always cook with oil to minimize sticking. I soak it overnight in water so it's really easy to clean the next day. Best of luck

Make sure you always have the butter melting cup in place regardless if you are not warming butter. The odd air currents when that is not in place does make for a messy counter top.

All I do to clean mine is wipe off with a cloth and some hot water while still a little hot. You can also use a silicone spatula and some hot water. I have never had to use anything other than that.For the bottom, I am certain BKF would work. That stuff works on everything! I do not worry about the bottom though.

I have never had that happen. Are you using real butter not the imitation stuff? I fill the water up to the Mark. Pack the butter in the top & put the top on. I have never had it suction before.

Sorry, I've not had accumulation of grease yet but am grateful for the suggestions given as I'm sure my turn will come soon. Dishwashing soap and water cleans all the other splatter for me. jey

I use a small amount of butter. Small amount of oil works well. Dry not so much.

I just rinse it off with warm water(in the sink) then wash with a bit of soap and water....because it is oil on there is comes off really easy.

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.

ALways use very gentle soft sponge. Do not scrub! Better to wash it once you're done with cooking your meal otherwise soak it in water for a while before you wash it.
