You put water in the kettle & boil it for a few minutes--see your direction book.

All the pieces except the walls are removable for cleaning. Remember what you did to set it up? The same is used to remove and clean it after which you must again put it back (re-assemble for future use) I make sure all is disconnected; then the kettle is unplugged from the side of the kettle and the kettle will flip our just as it did on assembly and you can wash it. Cleaning the kernels from underneath the tray was the hardest. I used a soapy cloth for washing the walls of the popper and it turned out well. I didn't think it thru enough b4 buying because it requires a lot of work.

Thanks, I never thought of it. I used stainless/ aluminum cleaner in a used Chantal whistle tea kettle just received and I will just boil it out for a couple weeks and use water for when I need extra hot water. Glad you mentioned the unsafety bit. Probably saved me from being a sick puppy, or worse, ha. Thanks so much.

Cleaning IS easy, & you do need to clean the kettle as well! The best, easiest & safest way to clean the entire popper is to use baking soda on a damp cloth! It safely removes the sticky residue from the interior walls as well as the kettle. To properly clean the kettle, of course, remove it according to directions & be sure to NOT immerse it in water. A soft toothbrush coated with a paste of baking soda & water helps remove sticky buildup from the kettle & lid. Our popper looks like new! I would not recommend using any type of chemical solution/wipes, such as Clorox wipes...baking soda is totally non-toxic. Cleaning IS easy, & you do need to clean the kettle as well!

Probably, but all that's really necessary to clean it is to swish some warm water from the tap around in it before brewing your tea; this will also help prevent thermal shock from breaking it when you pour water from the kettle in, which isn't much of an issue because it is made of borosilicate glass.

Only heat water. Inside it has a metal base on the bottom of the kettle, and that is what heats up the water. I would imagine anything loose would damage the metal base and potentially ruin the kettle.

No, you use hot tap water. For deep cleaning use water boiled on stove or microwave. It enhances the cleaning.

I use a simple coffee pot cleaner. Under $5 at the local grocery store. Let it soak for a couple of minutes and viola, clean pot.

It takes about 10-15 minutes if you want to clean it to where it looks brand new again (taking out the kettle and cleaning over sink, windexing the glass sides, cleaning the bottom). I clean it like that once every 3 or 4 times I use it otherwise it starts looking very gross. I just use windex for the glass and water and paper towels for the kettle.

The instructions recommend boiling water in the unit 2-3 times & rinsing it out thoroughly before using it for the first time. I didn't have any problems with bad tastes/smell when I first used the kettle.

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.

No way to really clean it. If all you are doing is boiling water in it, shouldn't really get gunked up

I use this kettle for heating water only, so the need to do any type of deep cleaning is not needed. I love my Revere kettle and use it multiple times a day.

Maybe you can, but you need to carefully clean up the kettle. However, I won't prefer.

Clean everything first with soap & water. Fill the mug 1/2 full with white vinegar & carefully add a few teaspoons of baking soda (depending on the size of your mug). "Carefully" because it will react/expand & pour out all over if done too quickly. Add water until full.A better way to do it, if possible, is I separate my mug from the lid & put them both inside my French Press when cleaning it. Everything stainless steel comes out looking almost brand new, & all the seals etc are clean as well.

No, because it is glass. It is very easy to clean, I usually use baking soda to scrub the inside because it doesn't scratch and freshens the pot. I love my tea kettle.

I don't know as I just whip them down or wash with mild dishsoap. I do remove kettle from stove when cooking.

The handle/Motor just wipe off with a little soap and water then down the Frother part. Rinse off the Frother with a quick spin under clean water.
