How do I clean the inside of it? Looks like it has some hard water build up or something.

I have used one in each of my homes. I noticed some buildup inside but I do not think it is hard water buildup since one is used in the home with a water softener. I have thought about, but not yet tried, using Dip-It which is used to clean coffee pots. Hope this is is of some help.

Vinegar (acetic acid) will dissolve the hard water lime accumulation. Fill the unit with vinegar and allow it to sit filled with vinegar in the sink overnight. The vinegar should dissolve the lime. If you fill the unit with bottled distilled water instead of tap water you will not get lime build up. Oscar

I usually used one of those soap-dispensing sponge brushes with dish soap and scrubbed the inside. I also wash the orange gasket and lid parts. Not sure about the nozzle parts, though.

Hi, You usually would clean it with water and soap. Best regards, Customer service

Maybe it's in the water you're using from the tap. Try using purified water. Mine has never done that and I definitely don't clean it as much as you do.

Sounds like a build up of gunk. I bought the cleaning brushes to clean the motor every other time I change the filter. Also try using vinegar, pour some in the bowl with the water and let it run for an hour or so. It should clear it up. But if it stopped working than you might have to buy another one. But it's very important to keep the motor clean and change the filters every 30-45 days depending on how many animals you have. I always take the water bowl apart and wash it because it gets hard water and gunk build up in it. Hope that helps.

Very well! And i just run hot water through it and polish with a soft cloth. I just googled cleaning options. There are other ways, but that was the easiest way i found.

I'm pretty sure it's mineral build-up from your water. Try letting a diluted vinegar solution sit in it (not hot) for 30 minutes or so, clean it out with a sponge or rag, then rinse. You don't need anything super abrasive but sometimes a little elbow grease is required.

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.

you have a problem. the water should drip down the material in the back. take it part (back panel} and make sure nothing foreign is in there. it is how you clean it anyway and you should get familiar with it.

Yep, that's what I do, just plunge the clean water a few times to clean the inside, then give the outside a quick wipe with some toilet paper. That gets it pretty clean.

I've had mine for over a year. There are two possibilities. It might be out of water, but I'm sure you checked that. It might need a dose of vinegar in the water to clear out any deposits left by hard water. Use just a little vinegar in the water, run it for fifteen minutes or so and see if steam comes out. If it does, run it a little longer and then dump the vinegar water and replace it with plain water. Hope that helps.

I just put it in the sink and put some soap on it and scrub it with the sponge that they suggest. Then I keep running hot water until the water runs clear. It is difficult and a little messy but it works. It says not to do it but this is my second one and it never hurt the first one. I used sos pads on it and ruined the finish.

I mostly just rinse it out real good now and then. I know they make a cleaning solution for them, but I've never it. If you're only filling it with clean tap or purified water I would just occassionly put some clean water and a small amount of household bleach, like 1/4tsp. at most and swish it around real good, squeeze some out thru the tube and bite valve and then thoroughly rinse it, and you should be good to go.

if it is still wet, just wash with soap and water ... but if you let it dry ... you will need to scrub ... hard. :-)

I haven't noticed that. I have had mine for over a year. You might try running vinegar through it then lots of water.

This kettle is intended for water only, so regular cleaning isn't an issue. I haven't done it yet, but I was advised to clean it with vinegar to remove any hard water build-up.

To clean it I did the same, soaking in vinegar but I took a toothbrush and scrubbed the inside because it had developed calcium really bad. Now it's as good as new. I will probably have to do that again shortly but it wasn't too hard to do

Have you tried cleaning it with vinegar? Mine stopped working and I cleaned the inside with vinegar and it started working again.
