Do others have problem keeping this container clean?

When I use chia and flax seeds, sometimes there are small dots of something that does not rinse out. I just clean it out with a sponge or dish brush. Not a problem.

Once garlic smell gets in there, I haven't been able to figure out how to get it out. I do, however, use a toothbrush to clean the inner clear plastic part of the lid and I also periodically grind up a half a lemon with hot water and let that sit for a while. Lemon is a natural purifier and is obviously, food grade.

Have not had any trouble to date. Most of the time, the recommended hot water and detergent method works for me as well. If the ingredients were high in fat or the container sat too long after being emptied, a quick hand-wash is necessary. One thing I'd caution is to not immerse the outside of your base as I think the repeated exposure to detergent is part of the reason the seal on my original container went out.

Haven't had much of any issues there. ONce I thought I had actually damaged the inside surface down toward the blades. No chance on that. Cleaned up real nice after running it through the dishwasher. Other than that, the other responses seem to echo mine.

Cleaning is the one downside but I find the best way is to put just a tiny drop of dishwashing liquid along with about 2 cups of water and then put the lid on and turn on the machine for about 30 seconds. It cleans up very well and then all you have to do is rinse it out very well. Hope this is helpful.

no, cup of water with a dash of dishwasher soap, run it high speed and is clean again.

Not at all. Just put about 1 cup water in and put on high speed for few seconds.

I haven't had any problem cleaning the product. I just hand wash lightly and stick it in my dishwasher (top shelf). It is easy to do.

I haven't had that problem yet with mine, but when I clean it I might try wiping it out with a cotton ball wetted with rubbing alcohol.

I have not had this specific problem; but then, with the poor suction there has not been much dirty water to go into the container. This is even after I work hard to get all of the parts clean; and, they are very hard to clean.

I haven't had to. It's still effective. I just clean it about every week or so.

No problem keeping it clean. I rinse it out daily after coffee plus it is dishwasher safe so it gets a trip through that machine at least once a week.

I haven't had a problem at all with that. Container stays closed until you pop it open over the waste basket.

We haven't had any problems. You wouldn't want it to be permanently attached because it would make cleaning more difficult.

Mine has become slightly discolored but i wont say dirty. I wipe it regularly and it still looks very good.

I don't see any problem with that at all. Nothing really even sticks to this box so it actually stays pretty clean if you keep it scooped regularly, and will last several months.

i don't have any issue, probably because i clean mine every day after i use it and once a week automatically soak the unit in a mild solution of baking soda and vinegar in water - like i do with my toothbrush.

I've never had an issue. I've probably washed it a dozen times in the top rack and it comes out as clean as anything else in the washer.

I haven't had any problems with cleaning it. I use it daily and it's spotless.

I haven't had that problem but I make sure that I always keep the water level high and I take it all apart and clean it once a week.

I use mine about 3-4 times a week, this is my second container and I never had a problem with the pump. I also finish mine before the shelf life.

It's the same material as most plastic containers, so you might find that issue if you leave oil on it for a while. I personally hand wash my box and haven't noticed residue on my part. I guess it just really depends on the food. Sorry if I can't offer much insight in this.

Regrets you are having trouble, as I have had no leaks at all from the container. Tips over occasionally and there hasn't been any leak from that either.
