Can you get your hand down inside this pitcher to clean it by hand without some sort of hand held wand or brush cleaner, just hand a sponge or rag?

I can, a larger hand maybe not. It is not very wide, which I love for the door of the fridge and storage. It is fine on the dishwasher bottom rack also in a pinch. I love these pitchers. I have two. The lids work great too.

Yes, most people would be able to get their hand in the pitcher to clean it with a sponge. The circular opening of the pitcher is 4.5" in diameter. The pitcher is about 7.5" tall.

I've never had to as closing and thoroughly shaking with hot, soapy water and then rinsing it out has always gotten it perfectly clean, but as long as your hands aren't too large I think you probably could reach into the 2L version just fine...

I am a 6'2" man with LARGE hands and I would say that anyone with hand my size or smaller should be able to do what you are asking. I personally use a little white vinegar with hot tap water to clean mine and don't need to scrub it. It is glass so unless you leave it out dirty before cleaning or put thick or sugary drinks in it you shouldn't ever need to.

The pitcher is large enough to be cleaned by hand. I use my hand and a rag to clean it, and that works great.

Yes, it's very easy to clean with your hands. I have big hands and I don't have an issue. The person who said no must have giant hands.

I have the 1 quartstop pitcher and the diameter measures about 2.5 inches. Your hand will not fit in the bottle. This is not an issue for me because we use it to hold raw goat milk and cleanliness is super important so I use a bottle brush and then I can be sure it is good and clean. Blessings <><

I believed this is a crazy question, without a hand, you can't even use a toilet paper, come on! If you can attached a foot pedal activated faucet to operate, maybe yes. Is this someone have feet? LOL Maybe, what you really meant to ask was if no need to use hand to clean up, the answer is yes. Just blast away like your car going through a power car wash, with options like no blower to dry or minimal sheets to dry.

I don't think so. The device has not enough water force to clean the area without using a hand

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.

My hand does not reach inside since opening is small. If you have slim hand it can be done. You might want to use long handled brush to clean inside kettle.

We clean ours with a non abrasive sponge cleaner that holds soap. The scrubbing brushes that hold soap in the handle work fine.

Not sure however, I would hand wash anyway. I mean its not like it needs a scrub. Just a bit of a swish with your sponge.

I can poor comfortably with one hand, but I could also see why someone would place a less dominant hand underneath the pitcher as a precaution. The handle being close to the pitcher makes the handle sturdier & less likely to break; it also comes with the downside of leaving little space to get a very, very firm grasp.

Don't own one, but really don't know why not - just keep it away from the cleaning sponge.

No. You can wash by hand some spots if you need, bat not In the machine , so I think to use it as a pad is not a good idea

Yes, my hands are medium size. It opening is small, I don't think someone with very large hands could do it. But in that case it would make more sense to soak it than to scrub it!

Twist the cap off and you can stick your hand in there with a paper towel or a kitchen sponge wand. The only hard part is getting the handle part clean. If you don't leave old water sitting in it, it won't get gross. I dump, rinse, and re-fill mine every few days. (we use it daily) You can always put a water/vinegar solution in there and swish it around to clean. If you don't use it daily, make sure to rinse it out and dry it before storing it and you shouldn't have any issues.

The pitcher is definitely NOT dishwasher safe. Many customers have mentioned how the dishwasher ruined the pitcher.

I use a bottle brush to clean mine but it is big enough to put hand in. It's easily accesable to me.

There are not any instructions, that come with it, for cleaning. I would contact zensufu.com, and ask them! Personally, I handwashing worked fine.

You probably could, but I can't guarantee the fine mesh is so fine you won't get any sediment. From the tea bags I use in it there is always a bit of sediment at the bottom of the pitcher.
