Do I need to clean it before first use, or does it already come pre-cleaned?

Not really you could rinse it out if you want but no it's ready for it first use whenever

I didn't receive a cleaning piece with mine. I just take it apart and clean it with running water or a tooth brush.

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.

Just run the regular sweeper. No pretreatment is required. Our house we bought was a model home. The carpets didn't look dirty. But we have six little dogs and when we first moved in the peed ALOT. This took care of all stains and I couldn't believe the dirt that was on the floor. And it smelled wonderful.

Clean it per the instructions using an 80% water 20% muriatic acid solution. Soak for 10 minutes. Rinse with fresh water. Mine did the same. I cleaned it and it works like new again.

It gets dirty with chicken fat and juices but cleans up perfectly in the dishwasher. Mine still looks like new. No pre-soaking needed at all.

Not sure; did you sanitize it with alcohol first? Directions that I received says that you should always sanitize with alcohol first and this includes the first time you use it too.

I clean it very carefully using Windex and paper towels.It looks amazing afterwards however is very time consuming.

I just wipe mine with hot water and a bit of dish soap. Be sure to allow to dry it completely before storing it away, or it may start to mold.

i have not yet cleaned it only aired it out. I intend to wash it in a gentle warm wash in the washing machine when it needs it.

I clean it with a soft cloth and dish soap. I run it through dishwadher about every third use. This has worked well for me.

I don't remember if ours had any grease on it but as a rule I just clean everything before I use it.

I cleaned the preowned one I bought with soft scrub with bleach. Rinse well. I cleaned and sanitized all at one time.

It's been a while but I washed and dried mine before I used it the first time because it smelled "new." Once it's been washed and dried it won't be as small as it was in the original package.

I just pop it in the dishwasher. There is no need for pre-washing before it goes in the dishwasher, although I do rinse it briefly before placing the bowl and blades into the dishwasher.

Yes you need to the first time you use it as per the instructions. This is done to remove moisture in the system.

I don't really clean it. I just wipe it out with a paper towel after each use.
