Do these need to soak in vinegar overnight before their first use?

Using a 3 parts water to 1 part white vinegar. New glasses do not need to soak overnight but vinegar can help to remove spots if soaked The experts recommend the water be warm or room temperature not hot.

I had never heard of doing that so I googled it. Apparently that is done to remove lead content so I guess if you were concerned about lead it would not hurt to soak them. I used mine after washing with dish soap and they were fine.

I did just to make sure they were clean. I just soaped up a cloth, rinsed and dried them a bit and poured in the mix. Very easy clean up afterwards as well.

No, you can't but you don't need to. I put a little white vinegar into the kettle with some hot water and leave it overnight. Don't try to boil the water/vinegar mixture as it will boil over.

I don't really know. I have not had a pair that smelled once they were washed. I do sometimes let them soak overnight in water and white vinegar if they are very dirty. Try that.

Yes...Hand wash then dry with cloth best you can and let air dry for the night.I just make sure their good and dry before I put anything in em.

Rinse with water right away and then I use a wire and use anti-bacterial dish soap. They were tending to get mold in them so I rinse them with vinegar now and dry them in the sun.

No. You can clean them with a damp cloth of soapy water or bleach/water or vinegar/water. They are super thin; we'll never buy them again.

When you run the solution through, wait a few hours before you start running water through it. It gives the solution time to sit and clean. I just use regular cheap vinegar to clean mine.

Well I suppose you could soak them a day before but I have not tried it. It is only 12 min to soak then you cook them so it is fairly fast.I add the water to soak while preparing the other parts of the meal. The time saver would be to cook then reheat the next day, which theyare great reheated as well.

I did not soak them overnight. Mine didn't come up but that doesn't mean they won't work for you. I have had success in the past. My soil is salty and it's difficult to find plants that will work.

I use the solution suggested in the manual. 1 part white vinegar to 2 parts water and let it sit sit for a few hours before rinsing out.

Very easy - they're made of durable acrylic so as long as you're not using something noteworthy for its harshness, you'll be fine. Anything like vinegar/water (or any of the "green" cleaners, hand soap, GlassPlus/Windex, etc will be fine! In fact, unless something is very messy, just a paper towel will probably work in most situations! Enjoy!

As best I can recall, the company advises that you use a tea-tree essential oil in a water solution to disinfect them. That is how I cleaned them. I let them sit overnight, then allowed them to air dry.

I read up on one of the websites on how to make homemade vanilla extract and they had instructions on cleaning the bottles thoroughly before using. I think I filled them up with water and .....(I'm not sure if there was vinegar called for as well) and microwaved them to boiling for a certain amount of time.

I wait at least 30 minutes before carefully removing the 'top' as it is very hot; then I rinse the base using my sprayer; then add a couple cups of white vinegar and let it soak for a few hours (we have very hard water). (I save then reuse the vinegar several times.) Using vinegar after each batch makes it much easier to keep the Waterwise clean!

If you've already given it a good scrub with a bottle brush and warm soap water, try mixing a quarter cup of vinegar and 3-4 tablespoons of baking soda in warm water and let it soak overnight. Often the problem is in the cap. Make sure you pop your cap apart and really scrub it well, including around the tiny o-ring on the removable part of the cap. You can also soak any cap overnight in the same mixture of vinegar and baking soda you use for soaking the bottle.
