What's the best way to sanitize this item? Can it be microwaved??

After each use, I just rinse it under very hot water and let it air dry (just like I do with my toothbrush).

I dont think I would try microwaving it. It could melt. To sanitize mine, I get a cup of rubbing alcohol and mix some water in there with it, and then I let the tongue cleaner soak in that overnight. And then in the morning, I wash it with dish detergent so it wont taste like alcohol and im good to go :)

I don't think it's microwaveable. It's a hard plastic. If you dry them after each use I think it's sufficient.

I clean mine each time I use it with warm soapy water. On occasion I let it soak in a mouth wash as well.

Soak in Efferdent denture cleaner! Dissolves bio residues. They are inexpensive little tabs that have enzymes. You can also use them to clean your toothbrushes.

It is not microwave safe. It has a shiny silver trim around the edge. Noritake also mentioned not to use any dish wash detergent or soap with citric.

I personally would not place in microwave. Unclear what type of plastic it's made of. I also wash the bento my hand and air dry to maintain the colors.

It is plastic and I have blended hot food in it.Not sure I would put it in Microwave to reheat food.Metal mixer would be deterrent.Other smaller containers fine.

Sorry my first response was incorrect. The gel pack does say it can be microwaved for a minute. I would hesitate to do that but it says it can be done.

I wouldn't microwave the entire amount, its best to let it soften at room temp then divide into smaller portions you can use quickly. Keep refrigerated until you need it.

NO! Never put it in the microwave! This is professional wax that has to be used with the wax warmer.

I am not recommending it, but check with the manufacturer on boiling it. A lot of these types of products have the option to microwave OR boil... Good luck!

I really don't know if it is microwave safe or not! The base description says dishwasher safe and those two attributes are NOT inter-changable. Unless I see it specified, I do not assume that it is. You may have to contact the manufacturer. Good luck with your search.

Yes it is microwave safe. The lid is better cleaned by hand as part of it twists so it can be closed.

No. Its a plastic container(I think) and If you microwave it I assume something bad will happen! Just dont do it :)

You can microwave it and you can wash it. You can refrigerate it. It is a lush fabric. I love mine.

oh- i am not so sure you should be putting it in the microwave..i don't know if that might negatively impact the therapeutic aspectsbecause it is so pure and unprocessed it contains an amount of bee's wax-- if i need some to be liquid i just take mine and put it in a container and rest that container in a bit of boiling water. if i am using it in hot tea or something hot and liquid i just carve out a bit of a chunk with a flat knife that i've put into the hot liquid--it dissolves very quickly

In the instruction booklet I believe it says you have to microwave it in order to sterilize it.

Thank you for your interest. Just like with any avent bottle, you can do it using the microwave or electric sterilizer

I think a microwave is best. You may have to check with the manufacturer of this.

I would use a nylon spatula and sponge with a little soap and gently rub it out. Clean it after each use carefully as mentioned after turning it off for about ten mins.
