I gave this as a gift to a friend who travels but i would think you could clean with Vinegar & water as you would any coffee or tea pot.hope this helps, I have also used baking powder to clean coffee pots.

Since you only boil water in it, there is not much to clean for the interior, you can always soak with a little vinegar and water if you ever get any calcium deposits, but I've had mine for years with no trouble. The outside can be wiped down with a damp sponge.

To clean it you just rinse it out with warm water, the cord is detachable so it's easy to clean.

I agree that it is easy to clean. Wipe down the glass. Wipe out the kettle. My kettle gets scorch marks after about five uses. I bought Heat N Kleen through Amazon and it works wonders. About a teaspoon in a cup of water, turn on the kettle. Once the water begins to boil, turn it off. Let cool and remove the kettle, pour it out. Rinse carefully. Kettle is like new again. Love the popcorn maker; family and friends go nuts.

You can remove the kettle for easier cleaning but it cannot be submerged in water

I really don't know. The instructions that came with the kettle say to empty it after use and we try and do that even though it is used almost every day.

Clean everything first with soap & water. Fill the mug 1/2 full with white vinegar & carefully add a few teaspoons of baking soda (depending on the size of your mug). "Carefully" because it will react/expand & pour out all over if done too quickly. Add water until full.A better way to do it, if possible, is I separate my mug from the lid & put them both inside my French Press when cleaning it. Everything stainless steel comes out looking almost brand new, & all the seals etc are clean as well.

as a suggestion, heat the kettle add water let it steam the kettle, which also steams the interior glass, empty the hot water in a hot water safe container, wipe the inside kettle and sides dry -- easy as pie, er, popcorny:-) like steaming a cup of hot water in your microwave (the steam loosens the gunk) -- then wipe clean/dry, etc.

Screw off the top. Pull out the strainer. Put in one to two pinches of loose tea. Replace the strainer. Pour in boiling hit water. Steep for a few minutes with the cap back on. Then shake a but as the tea leaves tend to settle. Then sip careful as the tea can be quite hot. When finished with the tea, remove the strainer and spent tea leaves as leftover tea can stain.

Only heat water. Inside it has a metal base on the bottom of the kettle, and that is what heats up the water. I would imagine anything loose would damage the metal base and potentially ruin the kettle.

The kettle detaches so it is easy to clean. We just use water & a little dish soap to wipe down the sides as well. Doesn't take long. I actually make my kids clean it & it is easy enough for them. We absolutely love our machine & use it all the time! Hope that helps!

You can Google "wpm25 manual " and the owners manual pops up. I use a degreaser called "la's totally awesome" that they sell at 99 cent only stores . Don't use anything hard or it will scratch the plastics. Use a cloth. I just wipe the kettle part out also with a cloth .. That part gets pretty hot when turned on so that should kill germs if that's your main concern. That's what I do but I would check out the manual .

I usually rinse it through hot water and turning on the frother part. If you have not done it after every single usage, you might want to soak the frother part and let all the gunk soften first.

I use this kettle for heating water only, so the need to do any type of deep cleaning is not needed. I love my Revere kettle and use it multiple times a day.

No way to really clean it. If all you are doing is boiling water in it, shouldn't really get gunked up

I simply put the water in first and then add the tea to the infuser. Using a brush for cleaning works well for me too.

Almost all copper kettles are shipped with a lacquer coating. But a simple dishwashing inside and out will remove this coating. I used Dawn dish soap and very hot water with a non-scratching pad. Was done in about 5 minutes.

I recently cleaned mine with CLR. No problem. The outside cleans up with soap and water. I "shine" the top with a microfiber towel. So far so good. (I love the look and operation of Chantal kettles but they are expensive and corrode around the nozzle. It was hard to remove the hard water deposits out of the Chantal brand if I didn't use CLR frequently.) This tea kettle is good for the money - not a brilliant whistle - rather weak, but the kettle functions well - heats up quickly. The handle is comfortable. I have the red - deep and pretty shade.

I know this sounds strange but we have not had to clean it. We still have the kettle but the bottom fell off and we had to wire it back on. Plus the top is not secure so you have to hold it when you pour. Very disappointing for such an expensive item.
