can you clean the pitcher with soap and water?

CS says not to use soap and water to clean out their pitchers as they will rust. Instead use rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle while the wax is still in a semi-liquid state and use paper towels to wipe out the excess wax.

The pitcher material is Styrene Acrylonitrile (SAN). We do not recommend that the pitcher be filled with boiling liquids as this may damage it.

Well, nothing is perfect. Double check both parts that snap (lid to pitcher and flip top to lid) and put you hand over the top and press down some when you shake it. You have to remember, the liquid contents weigh a lot so don't shake the thing like a mad man and it should be ok. It also works fine just stirring it with a big spoon too.

Yes, the blue upper part comes off, so you can wash the bottom half. I'm not sure if it's dishwasher safe, but I just use hot soapy water. I love this pitcher!

No, the pitcher is not machine washable. It cannot be submerged as it contains electrical hardware at the bottom of the pitcher. In order to clean it, you can use vinegar inside to remove scale, and wipe off the outside with a damp cloth.

I don't know. We use year round so I just hand wash and refill. When my old one would get stained from tea, I would fill pitcher with water and add some bleach. this would take the stains out in about 5 minutes.

My daughter and I pour boiling water into it to make tea. HOWEVER, we do use an old 'trick' my mom taught me, and that is to put a long metal spoon or metal tongs into the pitcher before we pour the hot water. We don't know if this is something actually necessary, but haven't gotten up the nerve to NOT use this 'trick' every time. Hope that helps!

My pitcher cracked because I foolishly put it in the dishwasher a few times to remove unsightly tea stains. If your local housewares retailer no longer carries your model of Mr Coffee tea maker, I would check out some neighborhood garage or estate sales. A clorox and water soak should sanitize it sufficiently for safe use.

yes. just rinse with water or use the little cleaning brush that comes with it.

Sure, but be forewarned that the pitcher tended to crack around the rim and pour spout. I finally stopped using it.

Bless your heart I don't know...I would contact the company directly... That's the same pitcher I have.. Any thing you find out will be helpful to all who own it...

I don't see why it can't be used with hot water. However, I would be careful what you mix in with the hot water, i.e., salt and be cautious when touching the pitcher. Also be sure not to put the pitcher directly onto a heating element.

The pitcher is made of glass, so I'm assuming it would be fine. The lid however is plastic, so I would avoid getting it in boiling water.

I'm unable to squeeze my hand to clean the inside of the pitcher... the narrowest part of the pitcher's neck has a diameter of about 2 3/8 inches...I use a pair of cooking thongs and a sponge to scrub the inside of the pitcher.

This requires a special fitting on the end of the faucet to connect to the pitcher. Water has to be under pressure for this system to work. So no unless you change your faucet, or can use another faucet for this.

Yes, just soap and water. Let hot water run freely through the lid and it will be clean.

not at all. it's big and melt when you wash it in hot water. I never use this pitcher again.
