After cleaning the hair off, I spray them with the same disinfectant spray I use on my clippers.

Boil them...pressure cookers are great for this. You can also clean them w bleach.

It's a pain. I rinse them with lots of hot water, add soap and shake them and rinse again. I don't use them much for this reason.

If they are heavily carbon blackened you will need to remove them. I used a combination of cleaner degreaser and some some Soft Scrub cleaner.

I don't rinse them, first, you could, it wouldn't hurt anything. I store them in a plastic bag in the fridge, they last a very long time.

I soak them in hot water with oxiclean sometimes 24 hours if they are really grimy and then in the washing machine on hot with a little soap and white vinegar added. They usually come out clean.

Soak in rubbing alcohol for a few minutes. I usually leave them in for 5 minutes and let them air dry.

I hand wash mine with mild soap and warm water, reshape them and air dry. So far, so good!

Rinse them thoroughly in hot soapy water. Then place on top rack in the dishwasher.

Use a vacuum. The air leaks out making them pretty worthless, though they do keep dust off.

Just pop the top and bottom off and clean them in hot soapy water. I use a small scrub brush on them. Have no problems, best way I have found to clean it.

I would soak them in some treated water, such as Prime (Prime is the best). After you actually use them in the filter then be sure to use only tank water when rinsing them.

Wash them before first, and just spray them with PAM before use each time. Nothing more to it ;-)

We never tried cleaning them. I thought they were considered disposable. If you have figured a way to clean them please let me know.

You need to use any sanitizer i.e. chlorine, bromine or you could use Aquafinesse or Baqua-sil. Any of these will work.

I don't remember what the instructions recommended, but I always wash these by hand. Sorry to not be more helpful than that :-/

just use a vacuume, do not run them under water it can ruin them, the new plastic smell should be gone in like a week or so
