I don't clean it - but I would suspect a warm wash cloth could be used to wipe any stains on it or give it a quick refresher. There are leather fasteners on it so it could not be washed in a normal way.

Soap and water is fine. I usually wipe mine down with rubbing alcohol as well.

There is an amount of lead dust / splatter. I've put a piece of cardboard on the face / opening to reduce the splatter, along with "sealing" the joints with duct tape. But even with these actions performed, there is nothing that can be done concerning lead dust - even HV pellets or standard rimfire ammo creates some form of "lead dust" as it's leaving the muzzle. Emptying out the unit you will also encounter some form of dust, unless of course soaking it with water to prevent as much dust going air borne. Also wear gloves and dispose of lead appropriately to avoid / reduce contamination.

click the lever to make the lead come down. if you need to reload the lead, remove the eraser holder (pull up) and gently slide the new lead into the chamber. it should slide into the white tube. keep clicking the lever and you'll see the lead start to stick out from the tip. another way might be: click and hold down the lever and you gently push up the lead (but this might break the lead). by the way, to put back the eraser holder, make sure the "paper mate" thingy that sticks down is aligned with the cut in the clear chamber. another FYI: to bring up the eraser (when it's running low), rotate the colored part closest to the end of the eraser--it'll make the eraser come up, much like a deodorant. click the lever to make the lead come down. if you need to reload the lead, remove the eraser holder (pull up) and gently slide the new lead into the chamber. it should slide into the white tube. keep clicking the lever and you'll see the lead start to stick out from the tip. another way might be: click and hold down the lever and you gently push up the lead (but this might break the lead). by the way, to put back the eraser holder, make sure the "paper mate" thingy that sticks down is aligned with the cut in the clear chamber. another FYI: to bring up the eraser... » Read More click the lever to make the lead come down. if you need to reload the lead, remove the eraser holder (pull up) and gently slide the new lead into the chamber. it should slide into the white tube. keep clicking the lever and you'll see the lead start to stick out from the tip. another way might be: click and hold down the lever and you gently push up the lead (but this might break the lead). by the way, to put back the eraser holder, make sure the "paper mate" thingy that sticks down is aligned with the cut in the clear chamber. another FYI: to bring up the eraser (when it's running low), rotate the colored part closest to the end of the eraser--it'll make the eraser come up, much like a deodorant. « Show Less

Use a solution of Simple Green and a moderately soft brush. Comes right off! The cleaner and the bristles of the brush are key to each other.

Use any eraser, it works great. Prior to shooting apply a thin layer of vaseline, helps the dirt/grime/lead come wipe off

I use a sonic jewelry cleaner. It's not too much of a hassle. U just throw it in and let the cleaner do its thing.

My slide copier came with a plastic bar that has a cleaning pad on the end of it. When the feed tray is out of the copier, this cleaning tool slides in on the top of the LED screen. slide it around to clean the screen. -------Don

I would use a cup of sudsy ammonia in a bucket of warm water. Ammonia will dissolve the finish.

I clean mine by pouring out the excess grease and then wiping with a paper towel. Then I soak it in hot water with Dawn dishwashing liquid for 30 to 60 minutes. Then I use a teflon scrub brush or Scotch Brite Dobie cleaning pad which cleans without scratching.

Wipe it down with a used fabric softener sheet. Gets rid of any soap scum, water deposits, etc. Probably easier on the surface than toothpaste too.

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.

I wash mine with dish detergent. Run it under water to get it wet, then put a few drops of detergent on both sides, agitate the surface with your fingers. Afterwards, run it under the water again to rinse while squeezing the excess suds/soap out. When you're finished let it air dry.

No. It's food grade silicon. No lead. It's water hardness and soap residue. These should never be cleaned with soap.
