do you have to keep buying the cleaning solution or is there an easier way?

We still use the cleaning solution, but someone told us that "pickling vinegar" would work just as well.

If you want it to stay squeaky clean you will have to buy more cleaner. I rarely clean mine and it works just fine. The mineral deposits on them do not keep them from working. I do rinse mine out each time and much of the residue just flakes out when it has built up to a certain point.

If you are anal about it being spotless, then yes. But it's not really necessary. I just give it a quick rinse to get the big chunks out, and that is good enough. Because of how the distillation process works, the water will still come out just as good even if there is a bunch of crap in the bottom.

I used to make several gallons of distilled water and then use the cleaning solution. Now I use a plastic brush over the inside and rinse it out with hot water. I see slight build up after a distilling session which seems to disappear with the treatment just described.

Yes, if your cleaner does not require you to only use a specific cleaner or void the warranty. It works quite well in a cleaner and the room smells extra fresh!

If you go to the Contigo website they have a set of cleaning brushes you can buy. I haven't bought them, but they even show you how to apply them to clean the product.

Mine has never required cleaning and I use it almost daily. I think a soft bristle brush should do the trick if you feel like cleaning.

Save yourself the aggravation and buy a shop vac, scrub brush and a spray bottle to put cleaner/fragrance into.

i use filter water from my fridge. and that helps. so right now I don't use the cleaning cartridge and clean the machine once a week.

U can use just plain water or for tougher messes use a very small amount of your cleaner mixed with water to dilute it.

Sure, just follow the instructions. Fine for when traveling. The cleaner lasts a long time if that's a concern, and not expensive.

Its super easy. There is a sticker on the system follow instructions your good to go again. Have an extra filter on hand.

I did try using a solution with tilex, but it's best if you use a cleaning solution from Hoover. Amazon has it in a concentrate that is not expensive. That's where I buy mine. Hope this helps! Happy Holidays!!!

Yes. But - it is just too easy to use the brands you buy and a lot cleaner too.

I use mine weekly and rinse it monthly and have not needed to purchase anything yet. I have only had it less than 1 year, but it still works just like it did day one.

No you don't have to, they come with disposable boxes but I would. That way you don't have to order more of the boxes and the clean up is a little but quicker

No cleaning solution comes with it. I use dish soap, which my tube manufacturer recommends.

you have to call the company to order a new one. it's not a big hassle at all. i've actually washed mine several times & reused it. i love this little vacuum!
