did anyone followed the cleaning instructions prior to using it? I wanted to confirm this before doing so. It says to use baking soda and "soda."

sorry I can't help you as I gave this as a gift so I don't really know the workings of this product.

I don't remember seeing baking soda and soda on the instructions but we have had ours for s few years now. Do you think it was a typo? I know baking soda and vinegar is good for cleaning and I wonder if that's what they meant. I couldn't help more.

I have a HE washer so here's my recipe. I combine in an old 64 oz jug from juice etc. 1 1/4 c Sal Suds, 1 c baking soda, and the rest water. Add the water and baking soda first leaving room for the Sal Suds otherwise it will foam up when attempting to fill it up with water. Then just turn it upside down a few times throughout the day and you'll notice the baking soda disappears. it seems to all congeal somewhat. I then pour in enough to fill up the soap dispenser and add vinegar to the rinse cup. Been washing clothes like this for years. Doesn't fade colors and has been safe for all types of fabrics. Clothes do not have a strong fragrance after drying; they are just clean. I have a HE washer so here's my recipe.

I always put mine in a cup of soapy water and let it run for a minute, then rinsed and dried. It always seem to come clean. Hope this helps.

Baking soda, barkeeper, or bon ami works better with a non-abrasive sponge, make into a paste and ad in a circular motion. Let set for a while and then repeat as necessary. Hope this helps BUT remember clean after each cooking episode so the build-up is less. . Good Luck .

I think I would do it in reverse order. Spray and let 'thoroughly dry' first then sprinkle the baking soda. I would wait at least a day. If you sprinkle first and do not get it all up you may end up with clumps of baking soda attached to the rug fibers.

HI, If you are still in need of an answer --pour about 1/4 c. baking soda in the cup--then pour in hydrogen peroxide to about 1/2 full, no more than that as the mixture bubbles up, screw on the lid and shake it up. Let the solution sit for awhile (5 min. to 1 hour)--how long depends on how stained the cup is. You may have to repeat the process if there are still stains. Dump out the solution and rinse well with hot water. For the lid I soak in a bowl of hot soapy water sitting something heavy on top of the lid so it stays submerged. Then I shake it vigorously and rinse and usually is much improved.

Use baking soda and hot, hot water. Let it sit for 10 minutes or so and then rinse with warm water afterwards.Will be good as new. I use mine for Iced tea and can get quite awful looking if not cleaned thoroughly.

Honestly I have never had to clean it. Im thinking a heavy duty degreaser or some type of acid base cleaner might do the trick. Maybe even bleach and let it soak. Sorry I couldn't be more help. Almost four years running nonstop and its still going strong.

I use a fan shaped paint brush to put it on and just use warm to cool water to rinse. I have used the baking soda before but haven't used it in a while.

I've had no issues cleaning this sifter. It is much better and smoother than any sifter I've owned. I have sifted flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt numbers times, and I simply shake it out.

I use to spot clean our tea set with baking soda mixed with a little water. I dipped Qtips in the mixture and wiped the pot and cups clean. All tea stains just lift right off.

I was not happy with this product-it didn't clean any better than plain baking soda. I have been using Mr. Clean erasers and that does the job.

They are very easy to clean. My husband managed to forget something he was cooking and burnt the bottom. I used vinegar and baking soda annd a sponge and it came sparkling clean. I suppose other cleaners would have done as nice a job but vinegar and baking soda is my preferred cleaner for most jobs.

The only other thing I can think of is to let it soak in baking soda and water, heavy on the baking soda it's the only natural order distroyer I know of, let me know how it comes out!

I honestly don't know where it came from. I used it once and it felt like mixing baking soda and vinegar in my mouth... wayyyy to foamy!!!

I clean mine with dish soap and use baking soda if it needs an abrasive scrub. I read that vinegar shouldn't be used on granite.
