How to remove mold and mildew from suction cups and behind (inside) suction cups?? Is it dishwasher safe?

I apologize but we have not had to remove mold and mildew from the suction cups and we do not put the grip in the dishwasher.There is a locking tab behind the suction cups in the hard plastic section. It's grayish color in the item picture. When released, there is a little space behind the suction cup where you can clean with a bleach solution or other cleaning agent.

I would not put it in the dishwasher. I have used bleach products, specifically Tilex on and around the handgrip. Just be sure to rinse well as residual bleach can be slippery.

I think putting them in the dishwasher would probably be a bad idea, due to the heat of the water. You might try using a paste of baking soda and water, and scrub them with an old toothbrush. Other than that, soaking in a mild detergent and water overnight could help. I'm afraid bleach would have a bad effect on the plastic, causing deterioration over time. Just my opinion! I haven't tried any of this on this item in particular.

Why don't you PREVENT mold / mildew from forming in the first place by regularly cleaning the grip surfaces.

To remover the mold, use vinegar. I would just immerse each end in a dish of plain white vinegar and then wipe it clean. Or, you can use baking soda to clean the mold off. I don't know about putting it in the dishwasher, but I would not worry about that so long as you put it on the top rack. However, I think you will find that the vinegar and/or baking soda will work just fine.

As it is double wall I would suggest only using the dishwasher on the "cooler" cycles. I would imagine that the pressure build on the "sanitize" cycle could do some bad things...

I rinse mine out thoroughly with the dishrag and a dab of dish soap. I do not dip it in the water or the dishwasher.

I would not wash a paper item in a dishwasher, nor put a wet item into a vacuum. You are better off shaking and hitting the filter piece against the top of a dirt bin to eliminate some of the dust and dirt should you wish to obtain maximum usage out of each filter. I am a buyer and "user" of the product, not a seller, distributor or manufacturer-- so please keep that in mind!

I have not had this problem. Try cleaning the surface of both the tub and the suction cups with a mild solution of Oxyclean. Best of luck.

Why not? It's glass and plastic! I use mine ALL of the time so I can't afford to wait for it in the dishwasher. :) Soap and sponge works just fine. I drink a daily green juice with it so I usually like to wash it right away so as to avoid a dried film of veggies on the inside. I love my Venti.

Mold can be removed, by washing them or throwing dawn and then a hose or worse case, use a brush. I just cleean them or you can throw in wash machine and wash hot gentle cycle But really use dawn scrub some and let it soak and then throw the hose and then let it dry. Mold comes from damp areas.

I purchased the clear version, which is the one in the picture. I simply rinsed it myself with cold water and let it air dry. Haven't had any problems with mold or any other issues. It works really well for me. If u place it in the dishwasher -which i haven't tried- I would take it out before the heating cycle for drying kicks in. That heat may be too strong for this item.

Absolutely. Anything exposed to water and air needs sanitized from time to time. Try taking apart one of those water cooler stands - the mold growth on the inside is nauseating because people only clean the outside! I put the pieces in the top rack of my dishwasher and run it on sanitize.

I guess it would depend on how much mold and how covered, I would use soap and water with a abrasive brush or sponge, then I would use disinfectant wipes and thoroughly clean it. If it still doesn't come off after doing that two or three times, I'm not sure it would be wise to use it again.

A bit of dish detergent and a cloth or sponge works fine...just be sure to rinse well to get soap off.

Hmmm I haven't notice that to be a problem. I don't really soak it or run it through the dishwasher. I just get a soapy dishrag and wash it and rinse it right away.

Stop washing your crystal in the dishwasher. One drop of suds, wipe, rinse, air dry. Have pity on the poor glass!

not too difficult if one follows instructions in owners manual.the main thing I feel is to not use any abrasive or harsh cleaners being the dome is plastic.my mother has a sharper image oven and it had a cleaning feature that swished water and mild detergent like a whirlpool inside the dome.i'm not ceretain if you can do that somehow with the nu wave oven but I know they definitely recommend mild dish detergent and it can be washed in a dishwasher safely.

Make sure you clean the area you are applying the suction cups to with rubbing alcohol. Then apply a small amount of olive oil to the cups. They should stick forever!

Bleach and scrub that's what I do. Comet works well with a scrub brush to get in the little grooves. Hope that helps. :) Oh and make sure you look underneath for any mold.

I haven't cleaned one yet but when I do I will put a small amount of dishsoap and enough water and then shake it. The other option would be to clean it like you would a coffee pot with ice, lemon juice or vinegar.
