I assume you're trying to dissolve hard water deposits? If so dissolve an ounce or so in warm water and let sit in the thermos until the deposits dissolve, then rinse out and wash with soap and water. You can use less or more, weaker ratios would just need more time.

there's a better (and cheaper way) to clean your thermos. Use a denture cleanser. Fill the thermos, drop a denture cleaner table in the filled thermos and wait 8 hours. Works like a dream

It was a gift for a friend's son and I told them to do what I do with my thermos. Go to the store and purchase some inexpensive denture cleaning tablets. Throw a couple in the bottle over night filled with water, then wash with warm water and soap the next day. You could also use a drop of bleach in water. I keep a baby bottle/glass brush on hand if I have something like juice which is sticky and I want to be a bit more thorough. If you feel there is an after taste issue, you can also soak over night once a week with a teaspoon of baking soda in it. Several options for you, I hope that help.

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

I returned it :( I don't remember why. My thermos is best ever. Made by thermos.

Be very careful when cleaning the top portion. You must disassemble a portion to properly clean it. You will not believe how hot or cold this Thermos product keeps liquids and for how long!!! Ice cubes last overnight!!

According to the Thermos website only the stainless steel part is dishwasher safe. However, I just read that now after I've put mine in the dishwasher 2 or 3 times. I don't notice any negative effects. I guess after many dishwashings the harsh detergent might damage the silicone seals. I don't think that will deter me, though. I'll continue to hand wash it daily, but it will still get a weekly washing in the dishwasher.

Use the cleaning disk to run plain water. I find two cycles gives me enough hot water for whatever other beverage I want.

I only use water to clean it. Put the container up-side-down so the water will drop. The container can detach from the machine, so just do what you do to your cups. Your cups don't mold that easily right? Then you know how to keep it clean :)

I find that the cheapest way to clean these things is with Polident. One tablet dissolved into the water before pouring it into the steam chamber, then run 2 or 3 batches of clear water through it to rinse. If this doesn't clean it, you need to buy a new one.

Wash all parts in warm soapy water, use a bottle brush to wash the interior and your regular dish sponge for the exterior. Try to wash your thermos soon after use to prevent it from retaining a bad odor.

you can wash & rinse it out with hot tap water, but boiling water i wouldnt recommend it.. not for brewing tea..for cold beverages primarily.

We clean our glass lined Thermos by putting in about 1/4 cup of baking soda & then filling it with really hot water. We put the pump in place, close it up and let it set for a day or so. This will loosen any built up coffee film. Before we rinse it we pump a few pumps of the baking soda solution through everything. After pouring out the baking soda/water mixture we rinse it with really hot water and pump some through the pump system. You can tell by looking in the Thermos if the glass liner is clean. If it's stained really badly you may have to repeat the process. Doing this whenever you notice a film starting to build will keep the liner clean and improve the taste of your coffee!

Your not going to clean this properly, just clean it as best you can with hot water and alcohol, use it for a length of time & replace.

I have a Zojirushi thermos and have cleaned it with this brush before with no issues. The smaller brushes are actually quite handy for cleaning the mouth piece parts.

I would say probably yes, because I use it for two stainless steel coffee Thermoses. It helps to soak it for about 5 minutes - I just put the Thermoses on their sides and roll them around on the counter from time to time. Then I brush them out. It works beautifully.

Don it buy this thermos! I had one and loved it. I began getting sick to my stomach for a while. One day at my desk I fill the cup and drank about half. I started that sick feeling again. That push button cap cannot be disassembled to clean. There was mold in that cap. I threw the bottle away and gave been fine ever since.
