In terms of the air release mechanisms, are all parts cleanable? Can soap be rinsed out effectively?

I've never washed mine, just keep dumping coffee beans in it. There is nothing to intricate, it looks like no problem to wash and have all parts dry.

As far as I can remember only the pad comes out, which can be washed, you can wipe and clean the rest but it doesn't come off the frame.

I clean mine after each use with hot water and soap. Then I turn it on with plain water to remove any soap residue. I would not want to accidentally get any harsh chemicals in my nose. I leave it in pieces to air dry. The noise of the machine doesn't seem to bother anyone in my home, unlike what the other person stated.

Surface cleaning is a breeze with a little soap & water on a sponge. The cover can be removed to wash in the washing machine but not dryer - I let it air dry.

Absolutely not. Just received mine and it's a solid plastic that would break the second you tried to get the soap out.

I clean with soap, water, and sponge, let it air dry completely including the filter, then just pack it in a paper towel in a big ziploc bag so I don't lose any of the little parts.

There are holes on the side, that's where the air comes in. No taking apart, it is a single piece of molded plastic. I just rinse it out thoroughly after each use.

I wash it with mild soap before and after use, and let it dry with air. So far everything is OK

Cleaning isn't required or possible, since the unit burns mold particles rather than filters air. Ours seemed very effective. We use it to reduce molds that come in from the open window. Our first unit lasted 2.5 years before burning out this past weekend. We'd already bought a second unit for a different location. I'll be buying a replacement for the one that just died.

What Thomas said. Just make certain you rinse it really, really well so no soap remains.

I have never really looked . I bought for my dad in case power goes out as he had breathing problems and likes air blowing. He had used it once no problem but I have never looked to see if I can clean it .

soap-n-water. (and some elbow grease when needed) It's a very easy clean up.

We clean ours with a non abrasive sponge cleaner that holds soap. The scrubbing brushes that hold soap in the handle work fine.

The central HEPA part is not washable. The pre-filter dust screen and post-filter charcoal screen are washable.

No the insides are wiped off. I am thinking u should not use soap either just wet paper towels

It's possible to take the top airless mechanism off after it is empty. But the containers should be sanitized extremely well to prevent contamination and bacterial growth moving forward.

There's a YouTube video that goes through the process of disassembly to properly access the area that requires cleaning. It looks a bit daunting and time-consuming and it voids the warranty. Blowing compressed air is what the manufacturer recommends.
