I don't see how a warm washcloth could hurt the finish; ours really doesn't get dirty!

This napkin holder is solid metal, with a brushed finish. It's not coated to look like metal. So as long as you don't scratch the finish with an abrasive cleaning tool, you should be fine. By the way, I really like this item - you will be pleased. I also bought some small trivets that sort of match it in design.

Yes, you can clean it with a gentle detergent and water. Make sure to dry it well when you are done.

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 clean it very carefully using Windex and paper towels.It looks amazing afterwards however is very time consuming.

I don't have a dishwasher so I can say from experience. But when I us it, it usual has some heavy residue that is probably best cleaned by hand scrubbing. It might work in a dishwasher if pre soaked. Either way the pleasure it will give you in use it worth it.

I just wipe it out with either a damp cloth or paper towel. Nothing seems to really stick to the surface, so scrubbing is never an issue. I love it.

I would not recommend cleaning this product with anything other than dish soap and water, as per product instruction.Where my soap dispenser sits on my countertop and even the TINIEST amount of water was trapped beneath, upon normal gentle cleaning the finish came off all the way down to my boring white countertop. Finish does not come off, however, with standing water left by wayward guests that don't understand how delicate my countertop is.Hope this helps

I actually haven't dishwashed it. I've been using it so much that generally it just gets a hot water rinse out between different types of beverages though I've also hand washed it. Thinking the abrasives in dish washing detergent may effect the brushed finish on the outside. Don't really know though.

You can try white vinegar and water soak at least 20min with hot water. Last resort a 1/4cup of bleach with a gallon of water ratio. Wash with gloves on may take 10 min or morw you must them wash the item with dishsoap and water.very well. also this item I believe stated it could topload in s dishwasher. I wish you well

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

Definitely do not machine wash this! To clean mine and remove any lime scaling, I pour distilled white vinegar directly in it and let it sit for a bit. Then I use a non-scratch sponge and vigoursly scrub the inside and then rinse out with hot water. Works like a charm. Though I think if you're someone with large hands, it might be difficult to reach inside but my boyfriend doesn't seem to have to much a problem with it.

I love mine I just use a damp clean dishcloth and whipe it off after every use. Just a damp cloth not to wet. Hope this helps you.

We have the holder sitting on the dining table. There is a piece of acrylic laying on top that slides down as the napkins go down. Absolutely no problems and is a quality product. You just lift the piece out when you refill the holder with napkins. Great for everyday use.

I purchased the oil-rubbed bronze and it came with a warning not to use strong cleaners or abrasives. The finish stays clean by simply wiping with a sponge or cloth. You can also use the dish soap you would use when hand-washing dishes.

We always wash ours by hand. It is too big for our dishwasher. I don't remember if the literature said anything about it being dishwasher safe. Sorry we can't help more!

I don't really clean it. I just wipe it out with a paper towel after each use.

I clean it with a soft cloth and dish soap. I run it through dishwadher about every third use. This has worked well for me.

My husband hand washes it with soap water and a sponge. He doesn't have an issue. I wouldn't leave food for a long time on it. That may make it difficult to clean.
